monique lange

[ via A. Lange & Sohne ]A. Lange & Sohne recently introduced a new version of their popular Lange 1 Time Zone watch. It features a slate grey dial with a new world time ring that now includes Santiago de Chile, in place of Caracas. The change was made because Venezuela changed its time zone from Atlantic Standard Time (UTC-4) to (UTC-4:30). The watch is powered by a manually-wound Lange L031.1 caliber in-house movement. Comprised of 417 parts, the caliber displays traditional Saxon fine finishing, including plates in untreated German silver with Glashutte ribbing decoration, blued screws, a hand-engraved balance cock, and four movement jewels set in gold chatons. The caliber features twin mainspring barrels, which enable a 72-hour power reserve. Balance wheel frequency is 21,600 alternations per hour. In addition to the famous off-set time display and outsize date function, the movement animates an innovative dual timezone display with two day/night indicators and an adjustable worldtime ring. A power reserve indicator shows the status of tension remaining in the spring barrels.The A. Lange & Sohne Lange 1 Time Zone watch measures 41.9mm in diameter, and is fitted with sapphire crystals on both front and back. The strap is made in hand-sewn crocodile and features a massive gold Lange buckle complete the ensemble.

Well, men don't really have too much going as far as jeweler is concerned, especially in comparison to their women counterparts. So they can splurge a little bit more in chronographs. And looks like one new option is already knocking at your door step! The classy Lange 1 by A. Lange & Sohne's is revered by many as one of the finest watched to come out of the German manufacturer's watchmaking legacy! Drifting away from the ordinary, the Lange 1 has retained its typical off-centre displays through the dial. It has a caliber of the Lange in-house L021.1 with 67 jewels.
