A. Lange & Söhne - Grand Lange 1 2022

The price of the new A. Lange & Söhne Grand Lange 1 in pink gold ( 137.033) or white gold (137.038) is €47,100.

On occasion of the Watches and Wonders Geneva event (March 30-April 5, 2022), and together with the new Richard Lange Minute Repeater and the Odysseus in titanium, A. Lange & Söhne also introduced a redesigned Grand Lange 1 model characterised by a grey dial and even more elegant proportions.

Available in 18-carat pink or white gold, the new Grand Lange 1 has a diameter of 41 mm and is just 8.2 mm thick (vs. 8.8 mm of the previous version) so that it will easily slip under your cuff-links.

The off-centre display of the time includes the Lange outsize date in a gold-framed double aperture and a power-reserve indicator with the characteristic AUF/AB (UP/DOWN) inscription.

The granularly textured main dial beautifully frames the recessed sub-dials with hands, Roman numerals and lozenge-shaped markers in white or pink gold. 

Beating at 21,600 vibrations per hour (3 Hz), the hand wound calibre L095.1 of the Grand Lange 1 has only one mainspring barrel instead of a double barrel with two stacked mainsprings like the Calibre L121.1 of the Lange 1. Nonetheless, thanks to the larger diameter, it still achieves a power reserve of 72 hours or 3 days.

The beautifully finished 397-part movement, assembled twice, can be admired through the sapphire-crystal caseback. The three-quarter plate that is made of untreated German silver and decorated with Glashütte ribbing. Seven of the 42 ruby-red bearing jewels in the movement are seated in mirror-polished gold chatons secured with blued screws. 

The finishing touch is the oscillation system with the classic screw balance and Lange balance spring located beneath the hand-engraved balance cock.

To match the respective gold hue, the white-gold version of the timepiece comes with a black leather strap while the pink-gold model is paired with a red-brown leather strap.

The price of the new A. Lange & Söhne Grand Lange 1, either in pink gold (ref. 137.033) or in white gold (ref. 137.038), is Euro 47,100. alange-soehne.com
