Though found in watches like the Zeitwerk or the Langematik Sax-O-Mat, it’s in the Lange 1 that it’s shown to the greatest effect. Alongside other details such as asymmetrical sub-dials depicting the hours and sub-seconds, and the A. Lange \u0026amp; Söhne signature with its famous ampersand, it shows a clarity of vision that is wholly Lange. And while the Lange 1 has seen many versions, from a tourbillon to the Timezone, it’s the original that has become the symbol of the maison — and perhaps even the symbol of modern watchmaking itself. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis particular example from circa the early 2000s, features a 38.5mm 18K yellow gold case with a sapphire crystal, a matching 18K polished bezel, a satin silver dial with subsidiary hours and minutes at 9 o'clock; a seconds register at 4 o'clock; a power reserve indicator at 3 o'clock; a yellow gold framed date window at o'clock; applied yellow gold indices with and a matching handset, and a signed black alligator leather strap with a matching yellow gold 'Lange' signed deployant buckle.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePowering this masterpiece is the Lange \u0026amp; Söhne Caliber L901.1, a manual-winding movement that’s stunning to behold — and which can thankfully easily be viewed via the exhibition case back. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThere are complicated watches, and then there are works of art. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis is the latter.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"A Lange \u0026 Sohne CPO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49312471384308,"sku":"40993155","price":38750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0712\/8570\/2900\/files\/AS12150_40993155_A.LANGE_SOHNE_LANGE1_101.022--1.jpg?v=1788456652","url":"https:\/\/www.watchesofswitzerland.com\/en-int\/products\/a-lange-and-sohne-lange-1-as12150","provider":"Watches of Switzerland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
