To showcase its outstanding past and present timepieces in the brand's anniversary year to its worldwide following of watch enthusiasts, A. Lange & Söhne embarked on a “Homage Tour” this autumn lasting several weeks with eight destinations around the globe.
With a special collection of three outstanding complications, A. Lange & Söhne pays tribute this year to the intellectual heritage of Ferdinand A. Lange, the founder of precision watchmaking in Germany. The common characteristics of the anniversary collection of TOURBOGRAPH “Pour le Mérite”, LANGE 1 TOURBILLON and 1815 MOONPHASE that has been created in his honour include among others an innovative gold alloy of previously unattained hardness. A further highlight of the anniversary year is the presentation of the most complicated, rarest and historically most significant Lange pocket watch ever built: the recently restored Grand Complication Number 42500 constructed in 1902.
