A LANGE &SOHNE -LANGEMATIK PERPETUAL New Collection

Six years after its debut, the LANGEMATIK PERPETUAL is still a horological
sensation: it is the world’s first self-winding wristwatch with an outsize date display and a perpetual calendar whose displays can be individually corrected but also collectively advanced. Now, this masterpiece by A. Lange & Söhne is available in a new version with a precious pink-gold case and a silver dial.

With its numerous innovations, the LANGEMATIK PERPETUAL is very much in keeping with the Lange claim: “State-of-the-Art Tradition”. And at Lange, this does not mean preserving the ashes but kindling the fire. After all, this timepiece unites the Lange tradition of perpetual calendars from the second half of the 19th century with technical refinements that represent the pinnacle of precision watchmaking today. With its unique combination of a perpetual calendar, the Lange outsize date, the ingenious ZERO-RESET mechanism, the main push piece for collectively advancing all calendar indications, and with its unmatched precision, it is a true benchmark. Once correctly set, the date display remains accurate until the next secular year occurs: on 28 February 2100, it needs to be advanced by one day. The moon-phase mechanism is also stunningly accurate. After 122.6 years of uninterrupted operation, it deviates from synodic lunation by merely one day.

With its Roman numerals, the balanced dial of the LANGEMATIK PERPETUAL is
clearly structured and, despite the diversity of displays – hours, minutes, small
seconds, a separate 24-hour display with day/night indicator, date, day of week,
month, leap year, and moon phase – eminently legible. Prominent lancet hands sweep
its face, dominated in the upper half by the Lange outsize date. Available so far in
platinum and yellow-gold versions, the LANGEMATIK PERPETUAL now has a
strikingly radiant pink-gold sibling with a bright silver dial and appliques in pink gold.
