Discover the A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1, Lange 1 Daymatic, Saxonia and Saxonia Automatic with the Günter Blümlein Blue dial

For those among you who still remember Günter Blümlein, I can tell you that this blue is his.

It was Günter Blümlein who once defined exactly this blue tone.

When A. Lange & Söhne now issues a series of four watches with Blümlein´s blue dial it is more than just an attempt to sell some additional watches and a belatedly jump on the already fast moving Blue Train.

For connaisseurs the four Blue Series models are a deep bow to Günter Blümlein.

I have seen the watches live and I can tell you the Blue Series models look gorgeous. All of them!

Blue is the new black! Not new, but true!

Discover four beauties in blue …

The Blue Series

The four A. Lange & Söhne Blue Series models feature proprietary manufacture calibres that showcase all Lange-style quality hallmarks, from the artisanal finissage of all movement parts to the elaborate twofold assembly process. Even those surfaces that are later no longer visible through the sapphire-crystal caseback are lavishly finished and decorated. The edges of all plates, bridges and cocks are chamfered and then polished to a mirror finish. The hand-engraved balance cock, with the classic whiplash spring, beautifully symbolises Lange’s unfaltering quest for perfection. It is a signature element that makes each A. Lange & Söhne timepiece a unique work of art.

A. Lange & Söhne 1815 Rattrapante Perpetual Calendar Handwerkskunst

The A. Lange & Söhne 1815 Rattrapante Perpetual Calendar, presented in January 2013 at the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH) for the first time, was and is a remarkable timekeeping instrument. It was the ideal starting point for a limited 20-watch “Handwerkskunst” (= craftsmanship) edition. It is the sixth A. Lange & Söhne model with the “Handwerkskunst” attribute that stands for the particularly artistic decoration of the movement, dial and case.

The confronted the finishers, engravers and enamel artists in Glashütte / Saxony / Germany with an exciting challenge: to raise the decorative opulence for which the manufactory is known to the next level with rare and in some cases revived techniques as well as innovative ideas.

The A. Lange & Söhne 1815 Rattrapante Perpetual Calendar Handwerkskunst is limited to 20 pieces and will be sold for 290.000 Euro including 19 % VAT each.

A. Lange & Söhne 1815 Homage to Walter Lange – A tribute to a legend!

To honour Walter Lange, who passed away in January 2017, Saxon manufacturer A.Lange & Söhne will bring three gold versions of the A. Lange & Söhne ‘1815 Homage to Walter Lange’ to the markets.

145 watches in white gold, 90 in pink gold and 27 in yellow gold.

And there is one in steel! The 1815 ‘Homage to Walter Lange’ with a black enamel dial and a steel case will be produced only once. This makes it as unique as the man whose name it bears.

The 1815 ‘Homage to Walter Lange’ steel version with a black enamel dial will be auctioned off for a charitable purpose in 2018. Walter Lange, always noted for his philanthropy, would have approved.

If you ever wanted to own a unique A. Lange & Söhne, this is the watch you should look after…

An ‘1815’ with jumping seconds likely corresponds to what Walter Lange would have deemed the perfect watch. It is totally reduced to the essence while impressing the enthusiast with a puristic yet technically exciting complication.
