The Lange 1 collection of watches found their beginnings in 1994 when A. Lange & Söhne was relaunched as a brand following their demise during World War II. The firm introduced a collection of four timepieces including the Lange 1, the Arkade, Saxonia and Tourbillon Pour le Mérite. While each watch had their merits it is the Lange 1 timepieces that shone above the others with its unique dial design with off-center hour/minute dial, oversized double date windows and large power reserve. The watch was wearable, dynamic and by its 20th anniversary in 2014 it had become an icon.

With the success of the model, A. Lange & Söhne issued new models and in 2005, they released the Lange 1 Time Zone. A dual-time watch with double barrel mechanism, the watch has a revolving outer world-time ring and AM/PM indication. The present wristwatch features a rare grey dial, which is elegantly set-off from the pink gold case. A masterpiece of horology, the Lange 1 Time Zone defines the philosophy behind the A. Lange & Söhne brand name.
