A. Lange & Söhne Novelties at Watches and Wonders 2022
Grand Lange 1
The Grand Lange 1 has been an important collection in A. Lange & Söhne’s catalog since 2003, and it was fitted with its own movement from 2012. For 2022, the company presents a redesigned Grand Lange 1 — or rather, a refinement of the original — for greater elegance. Even by refinement, the change is most subtle, and one could miss it, were it not for that the watch looks and feels a shade more svelte. Indeed, it is a testament to the fundamental tidiness of the Grand Lange 1 dial that Lange & Söhne judged it best to leave that alone. Instead, it shaved the case height from 8.8mm to 8.2mm; the case diameter remains at 41mm.
Richard Lange Minute Repeater
Classically styled with enamel dial and platinum case, the Richard Lange Minute Repeater is entirely focused on being the ultimate minute repeater, sans other complications. By activating the slide integrated into the left side of the case, the orchestrated action of the mirror-polished hammers as they strike out the time on the two manually-bent gongs wrapped around the movement, can be seen through the sapphire crystal caseback, along with the elaborate hand finishing of the new caliber L122.1 manual-winding movement.
Odysseus
Formerly available in stainless steel or white gold, the latest version of Lange & Sohne’s sports watch comes in a sleek titanium case, paired with a titanium bracelet with fine adjustment. The new model not only gets a new ice blue dial color, but the guilloché motif of the dial is also unique to this particular model, adding depth and interest to the dial. Day and date are displayed legibly with large display windows and are easily adjustable via the shaped buttons on the side, while time reading is made that much easier with excellent contrast between the ice-blue dial and the hands and markers in polished white gold with luminous paint.
