Debuted in 2009, A. Lange & Söhne’s Zeitwerk collection has always been one of the most desired watch models amongst watch aficionados. With its iconic modern design and complex German watchmaking ingenuity, the watch contains a signature digital display as well as “Time Bridge” which was inspired by the Dresden Semper Opera House clock.
Most remarkably, the watch features a visible chiming mechanism for quarter and hour striking. The hammers are situated near 6 o’clock, and this wondrous chiming mechanism can be activated and deactivated effortlessly through a pusher on the case. Fresh to the market, the present lot is accompanied with box and paper, still sealed and never been used before.
Originally 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.
