About the brand

A. Lange & Söhne is a distinguished name in the world of luxury watchmaking, renowned for its exceptional craftsmanship, technical innovation, and timeless elegance. Founded in 1845 by Ferdinand Adolph Lange in Glashütte, Germany, the brand has a rich history marked by a relentless pursuit of horological perfection and an unwavering commitment to quality.

From its inception, A. Lange & Söhne set new standards in watchmaking, producing timepieces that combined precision engineering with exquisite artistry. The brand's dedication to excellence quickly earned it a reputation as one of the premier watchmakers in Europe. Each A. Lange & Söhne watch is meticulously handcrafted, reflecting the brand's commitment to traditional watchmaking techniques while incorporating innovative advancements.

One of the defining characteristics of A. Lange & Söhne watches is their exceptional movement design. The brand is known for its complex and beautifully finished movements, often featuring intricate complications such as moon phases, perpetual calendars, and tourbillons. Each movement is assembled and decorated by hand, showcasing the brand's dedication to craftsmanship and attention to detail. The movements are typically made of German silver and adorned with traditional Glashütte stripes and hand-engraved balance cocks, further emphasizing their artistic and technical excellence.

The aesthetic design of A. Lange & Söhne timepieces is equally impressive. The brand's watches are characterized by their understated elegance, with clean lines, balanced proportions, and refined details. The dials are often crafted from precious metals and feature a distinctive layout that includes the brand's signature outsize date display. This design philosophy ensures that each watch is not only a functional timekeeping instrument but also a work of art.

A. Lange & Söhne's commitment to innovation is evident in its numerous technical achievements and patents. The brand has introduced groundbreaking features such as the zero-reset mechanism, which allows for precise time setting, and the constant-force escapement, which ensures consistent accuracy. These innovations demonstrate A. Lange & Söhne's dedication to advancing the art of watchmaking while maintaining its heritage of excellence.

Despite facing challenges, including the expropriation and eventual dissolution of the company during the mid-20th century, A. Lange & Söhne was resurrected in 1990 by Walter Lange, the great-grandson of the founder. This revival marked a new chapter in the brand's history, leading to the introduction of iconic models such as the Lange 1, which became an instant classic and symbol of the brand's renaissance.

Today, A. Lange & Söhne continues to uphold its legacy of excellence, producing some of the finest timepieces in the world. Each watch is a testament to the brand's heritage, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation. For collectors and enthusiasts, owning an A. Lange & Söhne watch is a celebration of horological artistry and a tribute to the brand's enduring commitment to quality and precision.

About the watch

The Little Lange 1 Moon Phase Ref. 182.886 is a stunning example of A. Lange & Söhne's mastery in blending intricate craftsmanship with timeless design. This exquisite timepiece, part of the esteemed Lange 1 family, captures the brand’s essence by offering a harmonious blend of technical innovation and elegant aesthetics.

At the heart of the Little Lange 1 Moon Phase is the manual-winding L121.2 movement, a marvel of horological engineering. This in-house caliber features a twin mainspring barrel, ensuring a power reserve of up to 72 hours. The movement is meticulously finished with Glashütte ribbing, gold chatons secured by blued screws, and a hand-engraved balance cock, exemplifying the brand’s dedication to traditional watchmaking artistry.

The watch's moon phase complication is not only a technical feat but also an artistic one. The moon phase display is integrated into the seconds subdial, showcasing an intricately detailed moon against a star-studded sky. This display is accurate for 122.6 years before deviating by a single day, demonstrating A. Lange & Söhne's commitment to precision.

The dial of the Little Lange 1 Moon Phase is a masterpiece in its own right. Crafted from solid silver, it features a delicate guilloché pattern that adds depth and texture. The off-center time display, a signature of the Lange 1 collection, is balanced by the large date window, power reserve indicator, and moon phase display, creating a visually harmonious layout. The rhodium-plated gold hands and appliques add a touch of sophistication, further enhancing the watch’s elegant appeal.

Encased in 18-carat white gold, the Little Lange 1 Moon Phase exudes a refined elegance. The 36.8 mm case diameter is perfectly proportioned, offering a comfortable fit on the wrist while maintaining a presence that is both understated and impressive. The sapphire crystal case back provides a window into the watch's inner workings, allowing the wearer to appreciate the meticulous finishing and intricate details of the movement.

The strap, made from alligator leather and secured with a white gold buckle, complements the watch's luxurious aesthetic. This attention to detail extends to the packaging, ensuring that the entire experience of owning a Little Lange 1 Moon Phase is one of unparalleled luxury.

In summary, the Little Lange 1 Moon Phase Ref. 182.886 is a testament to A. Lange & Söhne's expertise in creating timepieces that combine technical excellence with timeless beauty.
