This exceptional timepiece is the latest in an artistically hand-crafted watchmaking tradition that has been nurtured in Saxony for centuries. All the more this is a reason to let it hold converse with masterpieces of the past in the collection of the “Historic Green Vault” in Dresden. The LANGE 1 TOURBILLON PERPETUAL CALENDAR was created for people who have farreaching ideas and consequently will only rely on a calendar designed to take the long view. The complication incorporated in the LANGE 1 meets this requirement effortlessly: not until the year 2100 will its perpetual calendar need to be corrected by one day, and the innovations in its construction set new benchmarks. To optimise the integration of the calendar into the dial of the LANGE 1, with its off-centre composition, the Lange development team placed the month display on a rotating outer ring, for the first time in a wristwatch. Furthermore, all the displays of the perpetual calendar advance in jumps, so that they are clearly legible at all times. However, this watch is not just a symbol of Saxon inventive genius. The hand-finishing of its 624 components also attests to the Saxon watchmaker’s roots in the local tradition of artistic craftsmanship.
