A hand-engraved lunar disc in white gold distinguishes the Little Lange 1 Moon Phase presented on the occasion of the 25th birthday of the Lange 1 from the standard version
With a diameter of 36.8 millimetres, the Little Lange 1 Moon Phase debuts in a limited edition of merely 25 pieces. As the ninth of a total of ten special models, the Little Lange 1 Moon Phase “25th Anniversary” recalls the spectacular presentation of the Lange 1 on October 24, 1994.
The hallmarks of the systematically two-toned anniversary edition include a white-gold case, an argenté-coloured dial in solid silver with blue printed elements and blued steel hands. The colour concept is echoed by a characteristic movement detail: The blue lined engraving of the balance cock in German silver features a depiction in relief of the outsize date with the number “25” to match the anniversary. The watch is presented on a dark blue alligator leather strap with a white-gold buckle.
As all manually wound timepieces of the Lange 1 family, the Little Lange 1 Moon Phase – first introduced in 2017 – has an asymmetric dial with an outsize date and an Up/Down power reserve display. The moon-phase indication is so precise that it only has to be corrected by one day every 122.6 years. As was already the case with the Grand Lange 1 Moon Phase “25th Anniversary”, this special edition also features a hand-engraved lunar disc. Six stars and numerous little dots depict the starry sky and together with the applied golden moons form a three-dimensional heavenly canopy.
The manufacture calibre L121.2 – painstakingly finished, polished, and decorated by hand – runs at a frequency of 21,600 semi-oscillations an hour and due to its twin mainspring barrel only needs to be rewound every three days.
