One of the brand’s distinguished creations is the Lange 1 in Honey Gold 116.050, a timepiece that perfectly embodies the brand’s ethos of luxury and precision.

The Lange 1 in Honey Gold 116.050 is crafted in an exclusive alloy, showcasing a warm and radiant hue that gives it its unique identity. This rare Honey Gold is not only striking for its subtle color, but also for its exceptional hardness, enhancing the watch’s resilience.

This watch features an off-centered dial layout that has become synonymous with the Lange 1 series. Its large date window, inspired by the Five-Minute Clock of the Dresden Opera House, exemplifies Lange’s commitment to readability and functionality. This model also boasts a power reserve indicator and a small seconds sub-dial, both of which contribute to the watch’s complex yet harmonious face.

At the heart of the Lange 1 in Honey Gold beats the L121.1 manual wind movement, a testament to the brand’s mechanical prowess. Visible through a sapphire crystal case back, this movement with 72-hour power reserve is a captivating spectacle of decorated bridges, blued screws, and the iconic hand-engraved balance cock.

The A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1 in Honey Gold 116.050 is more than just a timekeeping instrument. It represents a perfect blend of innovative material usage, time-honored craftsmanship, and aesthetic ingenuity, making it a worthy addition to any discerning collector’s trove.

A.Lange & Sohne – bio

Founded in 1845 by Ferdinand Adolph Lange in Glashütte, Germany.  The company soon became the pioneers in watchmaking in their region.  After Ferdinand’s death his sons, Emil and Richard continued to produce the finest pocket watches of their time.
During World War II, they were victims of bombardments and eventually even got nationalised by the Soviet administration and ceased to exist. At the fall of the Berlin wall in 1990, the grand son of the founder, Walter Lange, revived the company with the help of Swiss watch manufacturers such as IWC & Jaeger-LeCoultre.   The brand introduced their new collection in 1994 with success and by 2000 the company got acquired by the Richemont Group.
