A. Lange & Söhne, Glashütte i/SA, "LANGE 1", Case No. 110157, Ref. 101.002, 38,5 mm, circa 1995
A gentleman's heavy, fine Glashuette wristwatch with Lange oversize date and power reserve indicator, sold on 05/13/1995 - with original box, operating instructions, original sales receipt and guarantee. This "LANGE 1" model was one of the first ever to be sold!
Case: 18k gold, screwed on back, 18k "Lange" gold buckle. Dial: silvered. Movm.: 4/5 plate movement, twin barrel, Glucydur screw balance.
Ever since the first collection of the new era was presented in 1994, the LANGE 1 has been the face of A. Lange & Söhne. The watch has a manually wound calibre and a jumping outsize date. It advances instantaneously by one day at midnight and therefore always delivers a doubt-free reading. The design of the LANGE 1 follows a coherent principle: the centres of the subsidiary seconds dial, the main dial and the outsize-date display are at the corners of an isosceles triangle. The proportions of the outsize-date display are harmonious as well: they respect the rule of the golden ratio. Source: www.alange-soehne.com/en/timepieces/lange-1, as of 07/26/2016.
