Catalogue Note

The Zeitwerk is A. Lange & Söhne's very first mechanical wristwatch featuring a digital time display. It took the brand more than two years to develop this jumping numerals mechanism that makes the discs jump rather than turn slowly. The asymmetrical dial features a time bridge, which, as part of the movement, simultaneously constitutes the frame for all time indications. Offered in excellent overall condition, the present watch perfectly illustrates the brand’s horological expertise and technical excellence.
