GRAND LANGE 1
True grandeur.
The brand-new GRAND LANGE 1 reflects A. Lange & Söhne’s ambition
to achieve ever-new milestones in horology. Its true grandeur comes to
the fore not only with a case diameter of 41.0 millimetres, but especially
in numerous remarkable details. This model, available in 18-carat pink
or white gold, excels with a reduced height of 8.2 millimetres. This allows
the watch to snugly embrace the wrist and fit under any cuff. The strict
asymmetry of the dial with the off-centre display of time, the Lange out-
size date and the UP/DOWN power-reserve indicator add extra appeal.
The proven manually wound calibre L095.1 powers this timepiece as well.
Due to the enlarged proportions relative to the LANGE 1 with hand arbors
slightly shifted outward, it respects the watch family’s design code down
to the smallest detail. Instead of the double barrel with two stacked main-
springs featured in the LANGE 1, it has only one mainspring barrel. But
thanks to the larger diameter, it also achieves a maximum power reserve
of 72 hours.
Functions Off-centre time indication. Subsidiary seconds dial with stop seconds. Outsize date. UP/DOWN power-reserve indicator,
72 hours power reserve.
Case Diameter 41.0 mm. Height 8.2 mm.
Features Antireflective sapphire-crystal glass and caseback. Solid-gold appliques and crown. Hand-stitched alligator leather strap.

Fineness
In the carat system, the quality – or fineness – of precious metals is expressed in carat (karat is the preferred spelling
in the USA). The European system, based on one thousand weight units, is also commonplace. The two systems
correlate as follows:
There is a simple technical reason for the absence of pure gold and pure platinum in horology: both metals are too
“soft” for the production of watch and movement components. Gold and platinum are alloyed with other metals to
significantly increase their hardness. The different hues of pink, white and honey gold are also achieved by alloying.
Bearing jewels
The reference to “Rubine” on the plates of Lange movements applies to friction-reducing, wear-resistant functional
jewels consisting of synthetically produced ruby for bearings, switching and detent elements and the escapement.
Because of the greater homogeneity of the crystalline structure as opposed to natural ruby with otherwise virtually
identical physical and chemical properties, the use of synthetic ruby is very commonplace in watchmaking today.
The English equivalent of the German term “Rubine” is jewels.
As a certified member of the Responsible Jewellery Council, we guarantee that all of our precious metals and jewels
are responsibly sourced. Long-standing partnerships and meticulous evidence on all invoices from our suppliers
guarantee that the raw materials (diamonds, gold and platinum) used for our watches come from legitimate sources.
The quality of our diamonds is tested and certified by an independent laboratory.
Alligator leather
As a long-standing member of the International Reptile Leather Association (IRV), A. Lange & Söhne rigorously
abides by the Washington Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).
The alligator leather used for our straps is sourced exclusively from alligator farms in the USA.
