Lange \u0026amp; Söhne. This execution offers a glimpse into the inner workings of a modern-day icon through a smoked dial with a strikingly finished - and wonderfully whimsical - moonphase display. Of Lange's limited production models, the Lumen series is perhaps the most highly sought-after by enthusiastic collectors, and is the envy of the competition...just ask those good folks in Geneva!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(29, 139, 3);\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e-James Lamdin \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat you’re looking at is an example of the most important wristwatches of the last 30 years.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Lange 1 is without question the manufacturer’s flagship model, and the big date function is its hallmark. 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\u003cspan\u003eThis particular watch, a Grand Lange 1, is a slightly upsized version of the classic. Dating to the 2010s, it features a 41mm platinum case, a sapphire crystal, a signed crown, a polished bezel, a smoked sapphire dial with matching 'alpha' handsets, moon phase indicator, and a sapphire exhibition case back. It’s fitted to a black alligator leather strap with a signed platinum pin buckle.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis piece is part of the coveted Lumen collection of limited edition pieces with sapphire dials and luminous displays.
