  • Catalogue Essay

    - The A. Lange & Söhne Odysseus represents the Saxon manufacturer's first foray into luxury sports watches. Launched in 2019, the stainless steel ref. 363.179 featured a bright blue dial and integrated bracelet, showcasing Lange's signature proportions and refined finishing with a dash of youthful flair.

    - Its opulent white gold counterpart, ref. 363.068, followed in 2020 with a seductive grey dial and matching rubber strap for everyday comfort. This modern heirloom showcases Lange's meticulous finishing, from the textured grey dial with stellate embossing to the sapphire caseback revealing the hand-polished cal. L155.1 movement.

    - With continuous surging demand for the Odysseus and limited availability of this model, the present example is well-preserved and accompanied by its original guarantee. Paired with the choice of a brown leather strap as well as its versatile black rubber strap, this Odysseus is the perfect sports icon for any season.

  • Artist Biography

    A. Lange & Söhne

    German • 1845

    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.
