Lange's DOUBLE SPLIT, a unique double-rattrapante chronograph, and the two-complication DATOGRAPH PERPETUAL, which unites a flyback chronograph and a perpetual calendar, are now also available with the classic combination of a pink gold case and a lustrous argent�� dial. When it was first presented in 2004, it marked the dawn of a new era in chronographs: the DOUBLE SPLIT by A. Lange & Sohne. Its double-rattrapante mechanism not only drives a rattrapante hand on the 60-seconds scale but also has a jumping minute counter. It was the first mechanical chronograph that allowed comparative measurements of events lasting as long as 30 minutes. And it still is. The DATOGRAPH PERPETUAL, introduced two years later, is endowed with the same escapement. In this watch, the highly useful convenience of a column-wheel flyback chronograph with a precisely jumping minute counter complements the fascination of a perpetual calendar that can be advanced with a single press of a button when it needs to be corrected in the year 2100. Both high-performance timekeeping instruments are now also available in eloquent pink-gold versions. The warm glow of the case contrasts with the functional clarity of the argent�� dial encircled by applied solid-gold hour markers. The sapphire-crystal backs of these watches reveal the two perfectly engineered and meticulously hand decorated manufacture calibres of immaculate beauty. Press Release PDFRetail TBDSource: Lange

A. Lange & Sohne Saxonia Automatic in Rose Gold (Ref. 380.032)The new A. Lange & Sohne Saxonia Automatic watch (Ref. 380.032) is now available in a slightly larger, but better proportioned case crafted from 18-carat rose gold.Although the new watch doesn’t differ too much from the Ref. 215.032 hand-wound model, it is still just a tad larger.While the manual-wind version of the watch is available in a case 37 mm in diameter and 7.3 mm thick, the new model will be delivered in a similarly shaped body 38.50 mm in diameter and 7.80 mm high.The weight gain probably comes courtesy of the new Lange caliber L086.1 automatic movement, which is a little thicker than the Lange 941.1 hand-wound engine.The watch is equipped with a solid-silver argente dial that features applied baton-shaped hour markers and solid gold lancet hands. The doubled hour marker at 12 o’clock makes it easier to tell time when watch is not on the wrist.As usual, the subsidiary seconds sub-dial is located at 6 o’clock counterbalancing the Lange logo at 12 o’clock.Highly recommended.
