This special edition set consisting Lange 1 and little lange 1 was launched in 2007 in limited numbers of 25. The main attraction of these special pieces is the engraving work on the solid gold dial which is an inimitable technique that creates neat, shining lines and a subtle play of light.  The massive case back is also engraved with the city coat of arms of Glashütte where this high end German watch brand was founded. Up close, the hand engraved work is something to behold, this kind of intricate craft requires Lange's most experienced master engraver to execute. This distinctive set was made only upon request by their most loyal VIP clients.
