At the 2009 (“SIHH”), an event similar to but with a much smaller group of brands (and primarily those of the Richemont Group), A. Lange & S?ɬ?hne introduced a new version for its Lange 1 Time Zone collection.This new variation on the Lange 1 Time Zone features a slate grey dial with a new world time ring that now includes Santiago de Chile, in place of Caracas, Venezuela.?Ǭ?Ǭ?Among other reasons, this change of cities was made because Venezuela (in an odd attempt by Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez to achieve ““) changed its time zone from Atlantic Standard Time (UTC-4) to (UTC-4:30) – which as a result makes the city of Caracas not well compatible with the watch function (also on Luxist blog).The Lange 1 Time Zone measures 41.9 mm in diameter, is powered by a manually-wound Lange L031.1 caliber in-house movement with a 72 hour power reserve.?Ǭ?The slate color of the dial really is a bit darker than usual, but it seems to highlight nicely the 18K pink gold hands and provides for a nice contrast.Anyway, here is a nice video from A. Lange which gives a bit of history on the origin of the World time zone system as well as a closer look at the Lange 1 Time Zone – enjoy!Kyle is Founder & President of , a new online community for luxury watch owners, collectors & enthusiasts.

SIHH 2010: A. Lange & Sohne 1815 Moonphase (Ref. 212.050)The new A. Lange & Sohne 1815 Moonphase watch features a moon-phase complication, which is so accurate it takes 1058 years for the watch to miss a day from the lunar month.Among the models presented last week by A. Lange & Sohne, there is a small group of limited edition watches that stand out from the line with their intricately decorated movements, guilloched dials and amber-colored gold cases that are both pleasant to look at and harder to scratch. These are A. Lange & Sohne Lange 1 Tourbillon with stop seconds, A. Lange & Sohne Tourbograph Pour le Merite and the A. Lange & Sohne 1815 Moonphase model.Let us start with the most affordable hand-wound watch featuring a moon-phase complication.The watch comes equipped with the Lange L943.2 hand-wound caliber, which, as usual, is made totally in-house, precision-adjusted in five positions and decorated so thoroughly and tastefully, it makes Breguet wanting to eat its own heart out.The movement’s three-quarter plate is made of German silver with sunburst pattern and its balance cock is made in the same amber-colored as the case and is also decorated by hand.The watch features a perfect dial layout where the moon-phase display balances the small second hand counter, while the two are visually united with the engine-turned guilloche pattern. Large Arabic numerals and heat-blued hour and minute hands provide for contrasting, highly-legible dial layout.The watch will be produced in a limited lot of only 265 pieces.
