The tenth anniversary of its new foundation took Lange as an opportunity to return to past values: In 2000, the manufactory presented a LANGEMATIK with an artfully designed enamel dial. Smallest details, such as the extra printed enamel and separately burned red XII, the blued steel hands, the classic auxiliary seconds and railway track minute scale, underline long love of historical authenticity. The JUBILÄUMS-LANGEMATIK in platinum was limited to 500 pieces and was manufactured from 2000 to 2004.
In 1997 A. Lange & Söhne launched the "LANGEMATIK Sax-0-Mat", available with or without date and engraved and finely finished 21k gold and platinum micro-rotor. This is the first automatic wristwatch ever produced by this Saxon maker of high-end timepieces. The model also features a reset function of the second hand, the so-called ZERO RESET. The second hand automatically jumps to zero when the crown is pulled, hence the spelling 0 in the name "Sax-0-Mat".
