A. Lange & Sohne Lange 1 101.021 18k YG
Released in 1994 as one of A. Lange & Söhne’s original watches after their relaunch, the Lange 1 is widely considered one of the most recognizable watches Lange has ever created. With its off-center outsize date indication - inspired by the Five-Minute Clock in the Semper Opera House, asymmetrically positioned hour and minute sub-dial, seconds sub-dial at 5 o’clock, and a power-reserve indicator at 3 o’clock, the Lange 1 has become a staple within the brand’s portfolio of iconic timepieces. Featuring its heritage-inspired design, the Lange 1 ref. 101.021 portrays the Lange 1’s classic aesthetic through the use of a traditional color scheme that is achieved by its use of a stunning silver dial and 18kt yellow gold construction. Presented in a perfectly wearable 38.5mm yellow gold case, the ref. 101.021 remains refined and balanced nicely on the wrist – a nice change of pace from its larger sibling variants, and the generally larger watches that have flooded the market in recent years. Combining this wearability with its understated design, the ref. 101.021 is unreservedly ‘Lange’ in its execution. With its immaculately finished manual-wind cal. L901 on display behind its exhibition caseback, it carries its impeccable craftsmanship through its entire construction right through to its movement, a testament to Lange’s unwavering dedication to their timepieces and their commitment to impeccable craftsmanship.
THE DIAL Featuring a sterling silver BASE, the Lange 1's silver dial contrasts the bright undertone of its 18kt yellow gold 38.5mm case resulting in a classical aesthetic that Lange is known for.
THE MOVEMENT Powered by the incredible manual-wind cal. L901, the Lange 1 ref. 101.021's movement features the German watchmaker's signature 3/4 base plate with incredible finishing throughout and its stunningly hand-engraved balance cock.
