A. Lange & Söhne adds a perpetual calendar to its iconic Lange 1 family.
In this 60-second review, Crown Watch Blog’s Melissa takes us through the exceptional A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1 Perpetual Calendar, a timepiece that seamlessly combines timeless design with innovative mechanics.
Design Excellence
The Lange 1 Perpetual Calendar sets itself apart with a design that is both iconic and functional. Departing from the conventional sub-dials of typical perpetual calendars, this watch employs unique and innovative displays:
-
A peripheral month ring
-
A retrograde day counter
-
An integrated moon phase with seconds
-
Lange’s iconic outsize date
These features are precisely engineered to align with the Lange 1’s signature asymmetrical dial layout. Once set, the watch’s perpetual calendar remains accurate until the year 2100.
Engineering Mastery
Beneath the elegant exterior lies an in-house automatic movement with 621 meticulously crafted components. This movement incorporates a new winding mechanism and offers a 50-hour power reserve, ensuring reliable performance and precision.
Sophisticated Styling
The Lange 1 Perpetual Calendar comes in two stunning options:
-
Pink gold with a grey dial
-
White gold with a pink gold dial (a particular favorite!)
Both models exude sophistication, making them perfect for collectors seeking an elevated dress watch. Limited to just 150 pieces, this timepiece is as exclusive as it is intelligent.
The A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1 Perpetual Calendar is an extraordinary watch that blends practicality with luxury.
