A. Lange & Söhne Introduces a New Zeitwerk
The first Zeitwerk was launched in 2009 and was inspired by the famous Five-Minute Clock in the Semper Opera House in Dresden, which was designed to be easily visible to even those seated furthest away. Master clockmaker Johann Christian Friedrich Gutkaes had devised a digital clock that changed the minutes display every five minutes and built it with the help of his apprentices, including Ferdinand Adolph Lange. The original clock design was a leap away from the traditional dial with rotary hands, as that would have needed to be huge to be legible to everybody.
