The Lange 1 has always been an icon in the world of fine watchmaking, a product of innovation and inspired by years of tradition. The collection made its debut in 1994 as one of the four watches that revived A. Lange and Söhne. With features such as the off-centered dial configuration and the novel outsize date give freshness to the traditional features of the German timepieces such as the three-quarter plate and the screwed gold chatons. While its display is seemingly disordered, the placement of the dial is the result of precise calculations and complex rules of symmetry, relying on the mathematics of the golden ratio and perfectly balanced.
Proven to stand the test of time, this white gold Lange 1 iterates the simplest form of the collection, full of history and heritage. A feast for the eyes, the reliability of the complex mechanisms in addition to the classic German watchmaking standards makes this watch timelessly attractive.
