Catalogue Essay
Introduced in 2004, the Langematik collection was born during the booming period of the re-establishment of the firm. With a traditional approach to horology executed in the Saxon way, you can always be sure that whenever A. Lange & Söhne launches a new timepiece, the quality craftsmanship and ingenuity is always guaranteed to impress. The Langematik collection are all equipped with a common trait of their in-house self-winding caliber with an off-centered SAX-0-MAT micro rotor.
The Langematik Perpetual was one of the very first models in the collection launched with its signature large date, and a traditional perpetual calendar dial layout consisting of moon phases, 24-hour indication, leap year indication as well as a zero-reset function that enables precise timekeeping where the constant seconds hand returns to zero when the crown is pulled out for time adjusting.
The present example in 18K pink gold is accompanied by the full set of accessories including its original warranty and its original winding presentation box. Well-preserved with very minimal wear, the present example is offered in superb value and is a great entry into the world of complications.
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.
