SIHH 2014: Lange & Söhne, the full report

 

2014 is a very special year for Lange & Söhne since we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the brand. However, the main complication of the collection presented at the SIHH was not featured in one of the first 4 watches of the contemporary history of the Manufacture. It is a way for me to express the famous quote by Walter Lange: "Never stand still!". The SIHH is focused on the present and on the future, time will come later for the celebration I suppose.

The main complication of the year is, as you already know, the moonphase display. 2 of 3 of the key watches of the 2014 collection offer it but in each time through unusual displays:

- a stunning orbital display with the 1058 years accuracy for the Richard Lange PC "Terraluna"
- a large moonphase display integrated inside the time subdial for the Grand Lange 1 Moon Phase

The 2014 collection is also made of an 1815 Tourbillon which gathers two technical characteristics well known in Lange world (the zero reset and the stop tourbillon) which come together in this context, an evolution of the 1815 which is now proposed with a 38,5mm case (taking advantage of the warm welcome of the 1815 up and down), PG versions of the Lange 1 Tourbillon PC and of the Zeitwerk Striking Time without forgetting the Saxonia with mother of pearl dial and diamond set bezel.

I propose you to open the door and to discover this collection. But let's start with a visit of the booth!
