Catalogue Note
A. Lange & Söhne unveiled their first and now iconic wristwatch, the Lange 1 in 1994. The wristwatch relaunched the brand as a horological innovator prided on design, superior finishing and technical innovation.
To celebrate the 20th anniversary, the firm released five limited edition sets consisting of the Lange 1 and the Little Lange 1. The pair is visually striking with solid gold dials dressed with hand-crafted guilloché work that give the pieces an unparalleled illusion of depth. This special edition features a his and hers set, with the latter further enhanced by 64 brilliant cut diamonds to the bezel weighing nearly one carat. Each color and dial variation offered were limited to an edition of 20, and each powered by the cal. L 901.0. To make this collection even more nuanced, each balance cock to the movement was further engraved with the number 20.
