Catalogue Note

The Zeitwerk represents the pinnacle in German horological aesthetics and craftsmanship. Sculpted from German silver, the time bridge indicates the hours, minutes and seconds in a shared frame. The dial features Lange's signature oversized twin apertures first implemented in the Lange 1 upon its launch 15 years ago. The Zeitwerk won the L'Aiguille d'Or Grand Prize at the 2009 Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève, demonstrating A. Lange & Söhne's commitment to the highest standards of horology.
