About these collections
Lange 1 The watch that led the 1994 return, and still sets the house style
The Lange 1 arrived in October 1994 as one of the four watches marking the return of A. Lange & Söhne, and it has defined the house since. The off-centre layout gives hours, small seconds, outsize date and power reserve each their own space, with nothing obscuring anything else. Variants run from the Little Lange 1 through the Grand Lange 1, plus moon phase and perpetual calendar versions.
How you know it
- off-centre dial layout
- outsize date window
- twin mainspring barrels
- Up and Down power reserve
Sizes
about 36.8 to 41.9 mm across current variants
Who it suits
For the buyer who wants German watchmaking with instant dial recognition and finishing worth inspecting through the back.
Saxonia The quiet dress line, restraint first and nothing spare on the dial
Saxonia is the house's pared back dress family, sitting alongside the 1815 as the other classical line. It launched in 1994, in the first collection Lange showed after refounding the company in 1990. The idea is restraint: a plain dial, applied markers, and only what is needed to read the time. It runs from the very flat Saxonia Thin up to the Outsize Date and the Moon Phase, which adds a moon display to that same date.
How you know it
- solid silver dials, almost always
- applied batons, current generation dials
- outsize date on dated models
- gold and platinum cases only
Sizes
current models 35 to 40 mm, earlier references vary
Who it suits
For a buyer who wants a discreet formal watch that stays quiet under a cuff and is easy to live with beyond dress occasions.
1815 Pocket watch tradition on the wrist, named for the founder's birth year
The 1815 takes its name from the year Ferdinand Adolph Lange was born, and the dials follow the pocket watch tradition he worked in: Arabic numerals, a railway minute track, blued steel hands and small seconds at 6, with the chronographs running seconds at 9 instead. Its dials are the plainest Lange offers. The hand wound chronographs sit here too, the 1815 Chronograph and the 1815 Rattrapante, alongside the 1815 Annual Calendar.
How you know it
- Arabic numeral dials
- railway track minute scale
- blued steel hands
- seconds at 6, time only
Sizes
mostly 34 to 40 mm, split seconds over 41 mm
Who it suits
For the buyer who wants a traditional, uninterrupted dial, usually with no date, though the calendar references are the exception.
Datograph The flyback chronograph built to be judged through the caseback
Introduced in 1999, the Datograph pairs a flyback chronograph with the outsize date, and it was the first chronograph Lange built. The minute counter jumps precisely, the column wheel and levers are finished to be looked at, and the caseback matters as much as the dial. Later versions added a perpetual calendar, then a power reserve display.
How you know it
- flyback chronograph
- precisely jumping minute counter
- outsize date at 12
- column wheel construction
Sizes
39 mm original, 41 mm Up/Down and Perpetual, 41.5 mm Perpetual Tourbillon
Who it suits
For the buyer who decides on the movement side and wants a chronograph worth studying through the back.
Odysseus The house sports watch, water resistant on an integrated bracelet or strap, from 2019
The Odysseus arrived in October 2019 as Lange's first sports watch and its first series-production model in stainless steel, with 120 m water resistance. Day and date sit in outsize apertures at 9 and 3, corrected by pushers set into the crown guards at 2 and 4. The automatic caliber L155.1 was developed for this watch and is used in no other Lange. It has been offered in steel, white gold, titanium and Honeygold.
How you know it
- outsize day and date
- integrated bracelet or strap
- screw down crown
- case pushers for corrections
Sizes
40.5 mm time and date, 42.5 mm chronograph
Who it suits
For a buyer who wants one Lange that can be worn every day without much thought.
Lange builds in German silver, engraves every balance cock by hand, and assembles each movement twice so the finish survives the second build. The Lange 1 laid out its dial in 1994 so no hand ever crosses another, and the outsize date took its proportions from the five minute clock of the Dresden opera house.
