The Watch
Manufactured in 2017 as part of the esteemed A. Lange & Söhne's 'Blue series,' which also includes the Lange 1 Daymatic, the Saxonia, and the Saxonia Automatic, the A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1, ref 191.028, epitomises the trend towards blue dial aesthetics within the horological realm. Despite the rarity of blue dials in the A. Lange & Söhne collection, this timepiece stands out as a remarkable exception.
The lineage of blue dials within the A. Lange & Söhne catalog traces back to 1997 when the brand introduced the iconic Lange 1, reference 101.027, featuring a striking blue dial. Two decades later, the tradition was revived with the creation of the renewed Lange 1 model, boasting a refined design with a thinner bezel and fonts, alongside an enhanced movement. This edition boasted a captivating deep-blue dial, adhering to the brand's penchant for exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail.
The exquisite blue dial of the Lange 1 is meticulously handcrafted from solid silver and adorned with solid-gold appliqués and hour markers, complemented by rhodiumed gold hands. Housed within a classic 18k white gold 38.5mm case, the timepiece features a distinctive decentralised and asymmetrical dial layout. It includes a sub-dial for hours and minutes with appliqué Roman numerals, a smaller seconds sub-dial positioned at 5 o'clock, an oversized double window date display with a quick-change feature, and a power reserve indicator, showcasing the intricate mechanical prowess of A. Lange & Söhne.
The Movement
The A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1 191.028 houses the L121.1 caliber, as opposed to the L901.0 caliber from the 1997 101.027-edition. This hand-wound movement has a double-barrel with 72-hour power reserve and a free sprung balance with 6 eccentric poising weights.
How It Wears
The Lange 1 Ref. 191.028 exudes exceptional uniqueness when worn on the wrist. Its moderately sized case, coupled with its distinctive lug design, ensures a superb fit across various wrist sizes, accommodating even those accustomed to larger timepieces exceeding 40mm. The versatile blue hue effortlessly complements a spectrum of outfit colors and styles, effortlessly transitioning from formal to casual settings based on personal preference. Moreover, the timeless elegance of the Lange 1 dial design adds a touch of sophistication to every glance towards the wrist, evoking a sense of occasion that remains timeless.
