Over the moon precision

The Lange 1 family is at the pinnacle of watchmaking. It merges historic tradition with excellence in innovation, making way for art in its truest form. This watch family is the amalgamation of the skills and knowledge garnered by the Dresden dynasty in the early 19th century.

With only 200 pieces made, the A. Lange & Sohne Grand Lange 1 Moonphase Lumen 139.035F is incredibly prized by collectors. Featuring a stunning platinum case, the solid-silver, semi-transparent dial sapphire crystal dial is adorned by spellbinding luminous white-gold hands in Roman numerals.

Perched on this is an enchanting moonphase, featuring 1,164 stars, crafted with a sapphire disc and honing an accuracy of 122.6 years. Further complications comprise a splendid glow-in-the-dark, UV-spectra enhanced date display, power reserve indicator, small seconds hand, and a winding, screw-down crown.

With a signature caliber L095.4, manual wind, 1mm in diameter, and 9.5mm in thickness, the timepiece has a striking 72-hour power reserve and is water-resistant up to 30 meters. The movement is crafted from Glashütte 3/4 plate fashioned out of German silver in a cotes-de-Geneve strip motif.

The movement is crafted completely in-house and includes a total of 446 components and 45 jewels. Each element has a beveled touch. Its legendary sapphire case back is fixed in place with six screws and has an “A. LANGE & SOHNE-LIMITED-GLASHUTTE 1/SA” engraving. The strap features a suave black alligator with a platinum deployment buckle.

This striking timepiece was first introduced in the 2016 SIHH exhibition and as mentioned before, is limited to 200 pieces.

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.
