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 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis particular example from the early 2000s, housed in a 41mm 18K rose gold case with a sapphire crystal and sapphire case back, features a smooth polished bezel, a gorgeous glossy black base dial with grey subsidiary hours and seconds displays, a power reserve indicator at 3:00, a framed date window at 2:00, and applied rose gold indices with matching \u003cem\u003ealpha\u003c\/em\u003e hands. In outstanding, lightly worn condition throughout, it’s fitted to a black alligator leather strap with a signed 18K rose gold pin buckle. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePowering this masterpiece is the Lange \u0026amp; Söhne Caliber L901.2, a manual-winding movement that’s stunning to behold — and which can thankfully easily be viewed via the exhibition case back. What’s more, this watch comes with its outer and inner boxes, as well as its books.\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.
