A. Lange & Söhne's new masterpiece of Haute Horlogerie combines two classic complications in the expressive LANGE 1 design. The LANGE 1 TOURBILLON EWIGER CALENDAR provides a wealth of information at a glance thanks to an ingenious arrangement of the calendar around the time display.
The decentralized dial of LANGE 1 offers ideal conditions for the integration of an eternal calendar. This is because the calendar displays can be placed outside the hour and minute circle in a clear way, without affecting the readability of the time display in the least. With the LANGE 1 TOURBILLON EWIGER CALENDAR, the integration of the calendar has been so harmonious that the complications contained in her name are not seen. Only a decent lettering at twelve o'clock refers to the Tourbillon with a patented second stop. And even the balanced order of the dial does not point to the technical complexity and the immense constructive effort behind the development of this watchmaking opus magnum.
In order to create the prerequisites for the integration of the calendar into the dial architecture of the LANGE 1, the developers at Lange realized for the first time in a wristwatch the representation of the months by means of an external rotating ring. This is equipped on its underside with different recesses for the respective month lengths and a scanning mechanism. The new design is patented. All displays of the perpetual calendar - grand date, retrograde day of the week, monthly ring, leap year and moon phase display - continue jumping and can be clearly read at any time. The mechanism is designed in such a way that it has to be presented by one day only on 1 March of the secular year 2100. And the moon phase display needs to be corrected by only one day after 122 years. Corrections can be made easily, via recessed pushbuttons with which the displays can be switched individually or together.
With the LANGE 1 TOURBILLON EWIGER CALENDAR, nothing should hinder the readability of the displays on the dial. The price for this un-compromise lies in the renouncement of a section for the Tourbillon. The refined complication presents itself only when looking through the sapphire glass floor in its entire technical perfection. There, the filigree bogie rotates once per minute around its own axis and thus compensates for the influence of the gravity on the eccentric balance. In combination with the in-house balance knob, it ensures extreme precision. Both components are precisely matched to each other and give the optimum performance at 21,600 half-oscillations per hour. The patented second-
The effective lift of the new automatic caliber L082.1 is ensured by a heavy central rotor, the middle segment of which is marked by the A. Lange & Söhne inscription and consists of 21 karat gold. A platinum flywheel at the outer rotor edge gives the process additional momentum through the even higher density of the material compared to gold. Thus, every movement of the wrist, however small, is transformed into the energy of the elevator. With the result that the maximum gait of 50 hours is available after a short wearing time.
The long-typical quality characteristics of the work include the elaborately hand-decorated parts, the hand-engraved tourbillon and intermediate wheel clamps, and four screwed gold chelts held by thermally blown screws. Only the upper part of the tourbillon cage is given the most demanding and time-intensive type of finishing: the black polish, whose execution can take up to five days with the tiny but often twisted part. The crowning finish of Lange's watchmaking art is the diamond-lined diamond top, in which the Tourbillon is stored. It is a reminiscence of historical Lange pocket watches of the top "1A" quality.
The most complicated member of the LANGE 1 family so far is available in the massive red gold or platinum housing with a diameter of 41.9 millimeters. The strict limitation of the platinum version to 100 copies underlines the exclusivity of this exceptional timepiece.
