DESCRIPTION
- A Glowing Face of Time: the LANGE ZEITWERK “Luminous”
With precisely jumping numerals embedded in a dial of peerless poise and panache, the LANGE ZEITWERK showed the realm of horology a new face of time last year. On the occasion of the prestigious “Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève”, it received the highest award – “L’Aiguille d’Or”. Now, thanks to the imagination of Lange’s engineers, this striking face has come aglow.
Unlike hardly any other watch, it stands for uncompromising clarity: the evocatively named LANGE ZEITWERK. Featuring indications of a size so far considered to be beyond feasibility, its dial always provides an unambiguous reading of the current time. With a soft click and no perceptible delay, the display advances from one minute to the next within fractions of a second. And at the top of hour, the watch performs the big leap, when all three numerals discs jump forward by precisely one increment at the same time. Now, this exciting progression of time can be observed in the dark as well.
The German silver time bridge, coated black with the PVD process, creates a prominent framework for the hour and minute display apertures. Coated with white Superluminova, the glowing numerals seem to float incandescently above the black background. Even at night. This is assured by a dark-tinted sapphire-crystal glass. Its light-permeable coating allows the numerals to be charged with enough photonic energy to uniformly emit it again during the night for several hours. Thus, the LANGE ZEITWERK “Luminous” reliably tells the time in one-minute intervals between dusk and dawn. The switching power is generated by a constant-force escapement between the mainspring barrel and the balance. Concurrently, it makes sure that the flow of power to the balance remains constant throughout the entire power-reserve period.
The manufacture calibre L043.1 that delivers the heartbeat of the LANGE ZEITWERK “Luminous” incorporates all of the refined features that have justifiably transformed the name A. Lange & Söhne into a synonym for unmatched horological quality among connoisseurs around the world. Its highlights include the balance wheel with eccentric poising weights, a balance spring manufactured in-house, and the lavish decorations applied to all movement parts by hand. The design of the watch, showcasing dark/bright contrasts, is emphasised by the platinum case, a black crocodile strap, and the buckle, also crafted from solid platinum.
