A. Lange & Söhne is one of the most distinguished and appreciated watchmakers in existence, focusing on elegant and complicated timepieces. Known since their inception in the 18th century for their technical innovations and precision timing, their movements are cherished by collectors, and are highly sought after today. Since the firm was re-established in 1994 with their first collection of four wristwatches, they have continued to bring excellence to haute horlogerie.

In 2009, A. Lange & Söhne introduced their Zeitwerk collection with an innovative digital jump hour “Time Bridge” display. It was a technical marvel combining an aesthetically pleasing design with an impressive movement. Housed within a 44mm case, the caliber incorporates a constant-force escapement and remontoire to ensure each digital display instantaneously changes at every passing minute, ten minute, and hour. The model became an expression of German precision engineering, and is a testament to the expression “form follows function”.

Over the past decade, the brand expanded the collection and introduced the Zeitwerk Striking Time in 2011 – a highly complicated timepiece with instantaneous digital display, but now also incorporating a striking mechanism chiming the hours and quarters hours. A hybrid petite Sonnerie, the in-house caliber L043.2 mechanism features visible gongs and hammers on the dial side that chime the quarters using a high pitch gong on the right, while the hours are chimed by a lower pitch gong on the left

The present watch is in hardly worn, nearly new condition and comes complete with guarantee and presentation box. The Zeitwerk collection represents a pinnacle in precision engineering and horology, and the present pink gold model is a rare opportunity for the collector.
