The A. Lange & Söhne Zeitwerk shattered conventions and showcased the enduring craftsmanship that has defined the brand for centuries. Inspired by the clock in Dresden's Semper Opera House, the watch features a unique "sky bridge" time display. It introduced symmetrical jumping hour and minute numerals, a groundbreaking innovation at the time.

Among the limited edition timepieces from A. Lange & Söhne, the Lumen series stands out as a favorite among brand lovers and enthusiasts. What sets this series apart is the special tinted dial that allows UV light to pass through, charging the luminous material beneath it. This results in fully luminous discs that transform the appearance of the timepiece at night. The Lumen series was first introduced in 2010 with the Zeitwerk model and received a facelift version in 2021.

In the case of the Lumen Zeitwerk, A. Lange & Söhne opted for their most exclusive material, honey gold. This patented in-house developed alloy emits a distinctive and unique warm golden hue. Apart from its exotic appearance, honey gold is a durable and more scratch-resistant compared to conventional yellow gold due to its increased hardness. Another notable feature of the new Lumen is the addition of a pusher on the side of the case, which was absent in previous time-only Zeitwerk models. This pusher allows for separate adjustment of the hour indication, simplifying the process of setting the time.

When A. Lange & Söhne unveiled the Zeitwerk collection at SIHH in 2009, it marked a new era for the brand. With its highly legible layout and sought-after lumen dial, the honey gold version of the Zeitwerk offers an impressive and game-changing design that is sure to capture the attention of Lange aficionados. Only limited to 200 pieces, the current numbered “133” is in “like-new” condition, the original factory stickers are still partially adhered to the case and we are thrilled to present this first Zeitwerk Honeygold “Lumen” to be sold in auction.
