LANGEMATIK PERPETUAL
The LANGEMATIK PERPETUAL was the first mechanical wristwatch to combine a perpetual calendar with the Lange outsize date. It differs from other calendar timepieces with small but subtle features such as the ZERO-RESET mechanism and a main corrector for simultaneously advancing all calendar displays.On the occasion of its 20th birthday, it now comes in white gold or pink gold, both combined with a blue dial, each in a 50-watch limited edition.
If you have a keen eye for subtle differences, you can enjoy some fascinating details on this year's novelties by A. Lange & Söhne, accentuated beautifully by the summer daylight.

Our lives are finally moving outdoors again, and we can shift from working inside at home to working in cafes and gardens. Outside in the lovely light of summer is where the numerous special features of the summer novelties by A. Lange & Söhne come into their own. These offer a rich variety of aesthetic, handcrafted and technical refinements. Each of the 3D-effect dials on the CABARET TOURBILLON HANDWERKSKUNST, LANGEMATIK PERPETUAL and SAXONIA THIN is tailored to the character of the respective limited edition. The surfaces of the manufacture calibres, which are lavishly finished manually, will delight connoisseurs thanks to their painstakingly applied polishes, decorative finishes and engravings.

Instead of shooting these items in the studio, our photographer opted to engage directly with his subject out in the open air. By taking advantage of the natural sunlight, he was able to skilfully showcase the fine differences that set the new models by A. Lange & Söhne apart.

A perpetual calendar unlike any other
"Innovation and differentiating design elements are key parameters for us," Günter Blümlein once said in an interview. "Our watches must be classic and understated in looks, sleek, useful, and essentially German in nature." At A. Lange & Söhne, this ambition steadily evolved into a cultural statement that emphasises subtle differences and manifests itself in many details. The LANGEMATIK PERPETUAL lives up to these lofty expectations in every respect.

The design of the dial complies with the principle of information
hierarchy, assuring the best and most intuitive legibility of the
calendar displays. As the most important information element, the
outsize date is prominently positioned. The subsidiary dial on the left
shows the day of the week; the one on the right displays the month. The
perpetual calendar takes into account the different durations of the
months in a four-year cycle, including those of the leap years. Once the
watch is correctly set, a manual adjustment of the date is not needed
until the year 2100.

Horological artistry with automatic winding
The self-winding L922.1 Sax-0-Mat calibre features the ZERO-RESET mechanism developed by Lange. When the crown is pulled, the balance wheel stops and the seconds hand jumps to the zero position.

This simplifies and speeds up time setting. The bidirectionally winding rotor ensures that the maximum power reserve of 46 hours is attained within just a short time on the wrist. Integrated in the three-quarter plate, it consists of 21-carat gold with a centrifugal mass in platinum. This makes the escapement with hand-engraved balance cock and classic whiplash precision index adjuster readily visible.

About A. Lange & Söhne
Dresden watchmaker
Ferdinand Adolph Lange laid the cornerstone of Saxony's precision
watchmaking industry when he established his manufactory in 1845. His
precious pocket watches remain highly coveted among collectors all over
the world. The company was expropriated after World War II, and the name
A. Lange & Söhne nearly vanished. In 1990, Ferdinand Adolph Lange's
great-grandson Walter Lange had the courage to relaunch the brand.
Today, Lange crafts only a few thousand wristwatches per year,
predominantly in gold or platinum. They are endowed exclusively with
proprietary movements that are lavishly decorated by hand and assembled
twice. With 67 manufacture calibres developed since 1990, A. Lange &
Söhne has secured a top-tier position in the world of watchmaking.
Brand icons such as the LANGE 1 with the first outsize date in a
regularly produced wristwatch, and the ZEITWERK with its precisely
jumping numerals display, rank among the company's greatest successes.
Exceptional complications such as the ZEITWERK MINUTE REPEATER, the
TRIPLE SPLIT, and the so far most complicated model, the GRAND
COMPLICATION presented in 2013 in a six-watch limited edition, reflect
the manufactory's determination to achieve ever new pinnacles in its
tradition-steeped horological artistry. Launched in 2019, the
sporty-elegant ODYSSEUS marks the beginning of a new chapter for A.
Lange & Söhne.
