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. In 2004, Lange launched the Datograph’s little brother, the 1815 Chronograph, which uses the same movement, with some modifications, the largest of which is the absence of the big date. For 2010, the 1815 Chronograph gets an update.

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: Images from A. Lange & Söhne
During my visit with A. Lange & Söhne at SIHH last week, I had an opportunity to snap some images in and around the booth, including a few of the new timepieces. The big story this year is the brand’s 165th anniversary and the three Homage to F.A. Lange pieces in Lange’s proprietary honey gold. The new Annual Calendar was also very well received.

2010 is Lange’s 165th anniversary, and to mark the occasion they are creating new versions of 3 well-known models in a new metal called honey gold, which is not only a unique color, but it is also nearly twice as hard as regular gold. Together, the new models are known as the F. A. Lange Homage Collection. Among the new releases is an 1815 Moonphase.
SIHH: Lange’s New Saxonia Annual Calendar
At SIHH today Lange unveiled their new automatic winding Saxonia Annual Calendar. Available in white gold and in pink gold, the diameter is a modest 38.5mm, but the design focus was legibility and the watch is quite easy to read. The look is pure Lange and this piece offers much of the visual appeal of its perpetual calendar big brother.
Lange Launches Zeitwerk iPhone Application
Response to Lange’s award-winning Zeitwerk has been so strong that the watchmakers in Glashütte are having trouble keeping up with demand.

The app even lets you disassemble different areas of the watch using the touch screen.

SIHH 2010 Preview: Lange 1 Daymatic
For 2010, A. Lange & Söhne introduces the Lange 1 Daymatic with a completely new 426-part self-winding movement. This is the first automatic member of the Lange 1 family. The Daymatic dial mirrors the Lange 1 and adds a retrograde day-of-the-week indication. For those who wear their watch on the left wrist, this layout moves the time indication to the right so it is seen first as the sleeve is drawn back.
