ALS: Lange 1 Moon Phase in Pink Gold
Friends,
A watch I had the pleasure to see in the metal, or should I say in the “silver”?!
The A. Lange & Shöne, Lange 1 Moon Phase in Pink Gold.
The hue from the (solid) silver dial is something I find absolutely stunning!
Great contrast to the Pink Gold case and other Pink Gold details.
A timeless beauty, hard to believe it’s celebrating 15 years this year!
Even if asymmetric dial design, the watch feels very balanced.
One detail that I think is a real killer here is the Moon with the star sprinkled sky.
One detail I am less enthusiastic about is the big frame between the date numerals, but I guess it helps keeping the balance of the dial.
As said, the hue of silver… German silver.
The movement is another part of this watch which is a pure joy to see!
The solid main plate covering up all except the balance wheel with famous swan neck.
But even if solid main plate, the way of execution is far from boring.
Geneva bars, heated blue screws and the way each ruby has been secured with the blue screws…
Far from boring, IMO!

I miss mine (exactly this model) to be honest but it helped me to finance a good cause

Very different for sure but the Zeitwerk was on the top of my wish list and I had to sell few timepieces to finance it. Today, if I had to own a new Lange 1 moon phase, I would opt for the day/night one in WG without any hesitation

And you don't know everything 😉

The big frame for the big date
The minutes of the Zeitwerk are on different planes too and it’s more visible than for this L1 (for me no problem but I can understand some people can be annoyed by this “detail”)

I much prefer the way GP executed the Big Date...

You are biased!
For sure one of Lange's most beautiful. Still fresh and romantic after all these years. [nt]
