Introduced in 1994, the Lange 1 was the first A. Lange & Söhne timepiece from the rebirth of the historic brand, and represents a culmination of what connoisseurs of fine watches associate with its legendary heritage.

This useful display, inspired by the digital-display clock in Dresden's Semper Opera, improves the legibility of the date by about three times in comparison with conventional displays.

The twin-mainspring barrels provide a power reserve of 3-days when fully wound. It furthermore features a stop-second mechanism activated when the crown is pulled out, as well as a patented twin-disc mechanism for the display of the oversized date.
