A. Lange & Söhne Saxonia Dual Time
Lange’s new Saxonia Dual Time offers a classically simple aesthetic in both design and function. Push pieces located at 8 and 10 o’clock allow the solid-gold hour hand to be advanced or moved back in one-hour increments without disturbing the minutes or seconds, so accurate timekeeping is maintained. A second hour hand in blued steel permanently keeps track of the time at home. Find pricing inside.

Lange’s New 1815 Chronograph
Lange’s Datograph movement holds a special place in the hearts of many enthusiasts. When introduced, an image of the movement graced computer monitors around the world.

New Richard Lange Zero Restart “Referenzuhr”
Lange’s Richard Lange family of timepieces is dedicated to the scientific aspects of horology with a focus on precise timekeeping. With resettable subsidiary seconds, the Richard Lange “Referenzuhr” carries on a tradition dating to the early 19th century. Actuating the push piece at 2 o’clock instantly resets the seconds hand to zero, where it remains so long as the push piece is depressed, while the movement keeps running.

SIHH: Lange’s New Saxonia Annual Calendar
At SIHH today Lange unveiled their new automatic winding Saxonia Annual Calendar.
