Catalogue Essay
2019 marked a milestone for A. Lange & Söhne, the first sports watch debuted to the market with a completely fresh perspective by the German manufacture, the Odysseus. Aesthetically inheriting the signature DNA of A. Lange & Söhne with the outsized day and date, the entire timepiece takes on a completely fresh case design that makes it standout apart from other sports watches in the market. Stepping far away from the Genta vision of a water-resistance stainless steel timepiece, the launch of the Odysseus stirred up polarizing effects to collectors during its initial release.
Powered by the caliber L155.1 Datomatic, the self-winding movement beats with a frequency of 28,800 vph with impeccable finishes and engraved balance cock with stylised wave pattern rather than commonly seen floral decoration. Not to any surprise, the Odysseus quickly gained the attention from discerned collectors and became one of the brand’s most sought after timepiece and miles long waiting list.
Pristinely preserved in its factory delivered stickers and accompanied with its guarantee and full set of original accessories, the present Odysseus is ready to be worn for the first time and enjoyed on the wrist.

A. Lange & Söhne
German | 1845Originally founded in 1845 by Ferdinand Adolph Lange in Glashütte, Dresden, Germany, the firm established an entire watchmaking culture and industry in Glashütte. The brand quickly became Germany's finest watchmaker, first creating dependable, easy-to-repair watches before going on to produce some of the world's finest complicated pocket watches, including Grande Sonnerie watches, tourbillon watches and Grande Complications.
On the final day of World War II, their factories were destroyed by Russian bombers, and in 1948 the brand was confiscated by the Soviet Union. Following the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1990, Ferdinand's great grandson Walter Lange re-established the brand with the objective to once again produce top-quality luxury watches. Now part of the Richemont Group, its original vintage and modern creations are highly coveted by collectors. Key models from the modern era include the Lange 1, Pour Le Mérite Tourbillon and the Zeitwerk.
