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 but with a complicated twist, the Lange 1 Time Zone ref. 136.025 portrays the Lange 1’s classic aesthetic with an infusion of complexity that speaks to Lange’s talents as a watchmaker. Presented in a perfectly wearable 41.9mm case made of platinum, the ref. 136.025 remains refined and balanced nicely on the wrist. Combining this wearability with its understated design, the ref. 136.025 is unreservedly ‘Lange’ in its execution. With its immaculately finished manual-wind cal. L141.1 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. Fitted with a rhodium dial that features the ref. 136.025’s world time display in addition to the Lange 1’s signature dial design, this timepiece is simple out of this world.

THE DIAL
Boasting a rhodium dial to create a monochromatic aesthetic, the ref. 136.025's world timer display is rich with information and fine details that speak to Lange's capabilities as a famed watchmaker.

THE CONSTRUCTION
While large at 41.9mm in diameter, the ref. 136.025's slim profile of just 10.9mm and the Lange 1's elegant design combine to ensure that this timepiece is perfectly balanced on the wrist and perfectly proportionate.

Condition
The watch is in near-mint overall condition. The platinum case shows light scuffs and marks from gentle wear. The display case back has very well-preserved engravings and hallmarks. The dial and hands are like new. It is fitted with a black alligator strap and a platinum Lange-signed pin buckle, both in near-mint condition, with some light scuffs on the buckle.

Our Perspective
A monochromatic stunner that showcases Lange's incredible talents as a watchmaker, the Lange 1 Time Zone proves that Lange can produce larger watches that are just as beautiful as their more svelte dress pieces.
