While limited edition timepieces from the firm’s are always a treat, the Lumen series is perhaps one that ticks all boxes for lovers and enthusiasts of the brand. Characterised by a special tinted dial which allows UV light to pass through, thus charging the luminous material under the dial, it results in a fully luminous discs that alters the appeal of the timepiece by night.

Numbered 192 of a limited edition of 200 pieces, the present example Grand Lange 1 Lumen from circa 2014 is complete with its full set of accessories. Offered in excellent overall condition, collectors may now have a chance to acquire this rare and discontinued gem from A. Lange & Söhne.
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.
