The Icon

Lange 1

First introduced in 1994, the Lange 1 with its asymmetrical dial and patented large date is one of the few watches that was immediately recognized as a classic by collectors and experts. In the meantime, the almost unchanged watch has long since achieved icon status.

Excellence from Glashütte

A. Lange und Söhne

Ferdinand Adolph Lange, born in 1815, was a gifted watchmaker and, with the help of extensive structural support from the state, established the Saxon watchmaking tradition in Glashütte. Since then, many watch manufacturers have been established in this valley, but none can match the perfection and excellence of Lange's craftsmanship. After the destruction of the factory and the expropriation after the Second World War, descendant Walter Lange rebuilt the brand after the fall of the wall and fascinated, Lange typically with an astonishing quality of movement finishing.

In the right time

Rocket Science

For a brief moment, I seriously considered starting this short article with a scientific treatise on the production of carbon fibers. However, given my rather limited abilities in the natural sciences during my school days, I immediately abandoned this idea and instead turned my attention to the things that move us all on a daily basis. Watches.

The return of the 80s

Everything comes back. At some point. Even my grandmother knew that and the more mature you become, the more you realise: damn, it really is like that. When Rolex presented the GMT-Master II as a yellow gold and bicolour version on a Jubilé bracelet last year, I immediately felt something like my own personal Werthers Echte moment. Only not with gold-wrapped caramel sweets, but with the watches I knew from my childhood. And so I still remember, as if it were yesterday, the picture of TV legend Horst Tappert smiling at me from the cover of a TV magazine with a gold GMT on a Jubilee bracelet.
