Since its revelation in 1994, the Lange 1 has not merely existed within the world of haute horlogerie: it has redefined its contours. Presented here is reference 101.031, a piece of elegant equilibrium: crafted in 18K pink gold, it features the unmistakable off-centered black dial with the large date aperture, a configuration that has become emblematic of Lange’s rebirth and resolute identity. Its architecture is both unconventional and classically rooted. Within beats the heart of Saxon engineering, caliber L901.0, manually wound, showcasing the three-quarter plate in untreated German silver, proudly revealing the beauty of its craftsmanship through the sapphire caseback. The bridges, adorned with Glashütte stripes, the hand-engraved balance cock, and the thermally blued screws form a mosaic that speaks not only to function but to soul. The 72-hour power reserve is time made generous. Accompanied by its certificate of authenticity, this Lange 1 is an heirloom of values. A discreet but powerful symbol of what watchmaking can be when driven by conviction, not compromise.
