A. Lange & Sohne\u2019s resurrection in 1994 saw the launch of the flagship model – Lange 1, alongside other three models the Arkade, the Saxonia and the Tourbillon “Pour le M\u00e9rite”.<\/p>\n
Today, after several iterations and upgrades, Lange 1 continues to be the flag bearer of the legendary brand and is one of the most recognizable watches in the industry.<\/p>\n
What many see as just another dial, is actually a very detailed and thought-provoking layout. The dial of Lange 1 follows strict mathematical proportions and is designed in a way that none of the functions of the watch overlap each other. The hours and minutes, the seconds, the big date and the power reserve are all separated, operating within their own space. What\u2019s more impressive is that all of that is encased in a 38.5mm case diameter. This is a marvelous timepiece in more ways than meets the eye.<\/p>\n
