A. Lange & Söhne seems bent on perfecting the Lange 1; this time with a deity like implementation of a heavenly complication
In the Book of Genesis of the Bible, it is inscribed that “God made two great lights, the greater light to govern the day, and the lesser light to govern the night; He made the stars also. God placed them in the expanse of the heavens to give light to the Earth …” And we will get to that in a minute for the watch you see above. Easy to read with the same 38.5mm case in platinum, as well as white or pink gold, its usage is still coherent with separate dials and the big date apertures are still a constant. We shall refrain from spouting superlatives about an already close-to-perfect timepiece.
