Introduction
Released in 1994 as one of A. Lange & Söhne’s original watches after their relaunch, the Lange 1 is widely considered one of the most recognizable watches Lange has ever created. With its off-center outsize date indication - inspired by the Five-Minute Clock in the Semper Opera House, asymmetrically positioned hour and minute sub-dial, seconds sub-dial at 5 o’clock, and a power-reserve indicator at 3 o’clock, the Lange 1 has become a staple within the brand’s portfolio of iconic timepieces. Featuring its heritage-inspired design, the Lange 1 Grande ref. 115.025, portrays the Lange 1’s classic aesthetic through the use of a traditional color scheme that is achieved by its use of a stunning silver dial and platinum construction. Presented in a larger case than normal, which earns it its “Grande” designation, the ref. 115.025 swaps the Lange 1’s 38.5mm diameter for a 42mm diameter, allowing it to boast a modern wrist presence, while still remaining refined and balanced nicely on the wrist . Combining this wearability with its understated design, the ref. 115.025 is unreservedly ‘Lange’ in its execution. With its immaculately finished manual-wind cal. L901.2 on display behind its exhibition caseback, it carries its impeccable craftsmanship through its entire construction right through to its movement, a testament to Lange’s unwavering dedication to their timepieces and their commitment to impeccable craftsmanship.
