Introducing the Grand Lange 1 Moon Phase “25th Anniversary”
The Lange 1 first welcomed the moon phase complication back in 2002. Later in 2014, its larger sibling, the Grand Lange 1, was bestowed with the moon phase placed into its hour and minutes off-set dial. This allowed Lange’s watchmakers to use the lager aperture to unabashedly shine the spotlight on their moon phase — which if the watch is worn regularly — will remain accurate for 122.6 years without correction.
The piece created on the occasion of Lange’s 25th anniversary now is in white gold. And owing to the fact that this is a Grand Lange 1, the case is 41mm, or 2.5mm larger than the classic Lange 1 proportions.
For the occasion of the anniversary, the disc of the moon phase indicator is rendered in solid white gold. Of course, what is most impressive thereafter is that the depiction of the moon and starry sky is completely engraved by hand. Beyond the inlaid moon itself, six distinct stars are carved onto the bare gold surface.
