Special Features

All of the movements used in Lange watches are designed and manufactured on site and in-house. This focus on craftsmanship means that only a relatively small number of Lange watches can be manufactured each year.

Among the company's special features:

• Outsize date - Based on a patented two-disc mechanism, this patented feature allows display of the date up to five times larger than conventional watches.
• Sapphire-crystal caseback - allowing a view of the movement.
• Crocodile leather - Lange uses leather (technically, it is alligator) only from breeding farms that comply with controlled animal husbandry standards.

Notable Watches by A. Lange & Sonne

Datograph
This watch is considered a technical masterpiece. It was the world's first chronograph that was based on the classic column-wheel principle. This elegant timepiece stops event as long as thirty minutes, with accuracy of 1/5 of a second. A special "flyback" function lets the chronograph be reset to zero during an ongoing measurement - with just one push of a tiny button. New timing begins immediately upon release of the button. Available in either 18-carat pink gold or platinum, this watch is worn on a crocodile strap or precious metal bracelet.

Saxonia
The mid-sized Saxonia is deserving of its bold and historical name. It has a solid-silver dial, studded with gold, lozenge-shaped markers. The outsize date is featured in a double-aperture gold frame. Of special beauty is the sapphire-crystal case back, which allows a glimpse of the superbly designed movement. This piece is available in a polished 18-carat gold or platinum case, worn with a crocodile strap with an engraved metal buckle.

Cabaret
The Cabaret is one of the company's most popular designs. It features the patented "outsize date," providing a date that is five times larger than on ordinary watches of this size. The rectangular case comes in 18-carat gold or platinum, worn with a crocodile strap with matching metal buckle. Alternatively, there are jewelry versions available through customized order.
