Catalogue Essay
A. Lange & Söhne made a significant milestone with the release of their first luxury sports watch in 2019, the Odysseus. This timepiece offered a fresh perspective and a departure from the brand's traditional designs. While it inherited the signature DNA of A. Lange & Söhne with its outsized day and date display, the Odysseus featured a completely new case design that distinguished it from other sports watches in the market. Unlike the typical stainless steel water-resistant timepieces envisioned by Gérald Genta, the Odysseus presented a unique aesthetic that garnered polarizing reactions from collectors upon its initial release.
The Odysseus is powered by the caliber L155.1 Datomatic which showcases impeccable finishes matching A. Lange & Söhne’s tradition, including an engraved balance cock with a stylized wave pattern instead of the more commonly seen floral decoration. Not surprisingly, the Odysseus quickly captured the attention of discerning collectors and became one of the most sought-after timepieces from the brand, resulting in long waiting lists.
The present Odysseus with a blue dial is in pristine condition and comes with its guarantee and presentation box. It is undoubtedly a timepiece that will catch the eye of seasoned Lange collectors, offering a unique addition to their collection.

Artist Biography
A. Lange & Söhne
German
• 1845
Originally founded in 1845 by Ferdinand Adolph Lange in Glashütte, Dresden, Germany, the firm established an entire watchmaking culture and industry in Glashütte. The brand quickly became Germany's finest watchmaker, first creating dependable, easy-to-repair watches before going on to produce some of the world's finest complicated pocket watches, including Grande Sonnerie watches, tourbillon watches and Grande Complications.
On the final day of World War II, their factories were destroyed by Russian bombers, and in 1948 the brand was confiscated by the Soviet Union. Following the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1990, Ferdinand's great grandson Walter Lange re-established the brand with the objective to once again produce top-quality luxury watches. Now part of the Richemont Group, its original vintage and modern creations are highly coveted by collectors. Key models from the modern era include the Lange 1, Pour Le Mérite Tourbillon and the Zeitwerk.
