Earlier this year, A. Lange & Sohne – top German watchmakers – released its incredible Grand Lange 1 Moonphase watch that accurately tracks the lunar cycles for 122.6 years. This is longer than a lifespan, meaning the simple adjustment of the moonphase in 122.6 years will likely be up to your great-grandchildren to handle.
Making the watch even more remarkable is that the moonphase indication and the nocturnal sky — prominently displayed on the left side of the dial — are incredible attractive thanks to a patented coating process for the solid gold lunar disc. A laser is used to cut out more than 300 stars of different sizes with extremely sharp contours, producing a miniaturized image of the galaxy.
In the past, A. Lange & Sohne has created a dozen different moonphase displays, but this one is visually and technically advanced. The display, connected with the hour-wheel, is constantly in motion, though the movement is barely visible to the eye. The display indicates the time that elapses from new moon to new moon with an accuracy of 99.9978%.
The watch houses the Lange manufacture caliber L095.3, with 72 hours of power reserve, a balance spring developed and manufactured in-house, a three-quarter plate made of untreated German silver, and Lange’s renowned hand finishing. There is a lot more complexity to this watch than meets the eye — but then that is a hallmark of A. Lange & Sohne.
Stop in to see not just this A. Lange & Sohne watch, but also many others that will definitely wow you with their technical prowess and elegant appeal.
