The history of the Lange 1 is the history of A. Lange & Söhne after its reissue
The Lange 1 has been the backbone of A. Lange & Söhne since its revival and has now risen to become an icon of German watchmaking as a whole.
This time, we will compare the current Lange 1 with its predecessor to dig deeper into what has changed about this watch, which at first glance seems unchanged.
Introduction model overview
Manual winding (Cal. L121.1). 43 jewels. 21,600 vph. Power reserve approximately 72 hours. 18KWG (diameter 38.5mm, thickness 9.8mm). Water resistant to 3 bar. Price: 5,602,300 yen (tax included).
Since its introduction in 1994, this model has remained a beloved representative of A. Lange & Söhne's collection. The asymmetrical dial layout and oversized date display were so well-made that they didn't require any modifications, even in the first model, and so the design has remained fundamentally unchanged to this day. Of course, the movement has undergone minor updates, such as changing from a swan-neck regulator to a free-sprung one.
