The 24th of October, 1994 remains a very important date in the history of watchmaking: the rebirth collection of Lange & Söhne was unveiled. 4 watches symbolized the beginning of a new page of one of the most prestigious brands in the world: the Tourbillon PLM, the Saxonia, the Arkade and of course... the Lange One!

To celebrate this milestone, Lange & Söhne proposes us to participate to a photo shooting contest with a beautiful prize, a dream for any Lange fan: an invitation to the Gala event in Dresden the 24th of October with all the travel and accomodation costs paid by Lange & Söhne!

Please find below some extra details:

- Each contestant is allowed to send in a maximum of 4 entries. The main rule: a Lange One (or descendant like the Daymatic, the PC Tourbillon, the Grand Lange One etc...) has to be on the picture!
- Please post images with a width of 1024 pixels for better viewing with any device
- When the contest closes the15th July, a selection of 8 pictures will be made.
- Then a specific thread will be launched in order that any PuristSPro member vote to choose his fav pic and to pick the winner among the last 8 contestants.
- Lange & Söhne and PuristSPro reserve a right to use the photograph(s) in publicity related to the contest
- The timeframe of the trip to Dresden is from the 22nd of October to the 25th of October
- Lange & Söhne will take over all the travel costs

So time is coming to prepare your cameras and... your Lange One watches ! Don't forget the deadline: the 15th of July!

Good luck to all the contestants!

Key Points from the Discussion

Walter Lange himself confirmed that the blue dial series, including the blue dial Lange One, was Günter Blümlein's idea, adding historical context to this specific variant.
The Lange 1 110.030 MOP guilloche dial was initially a limited production model for Sincere in Asia around 2000, later becoming more widely available to European and US dealers by 2002-2003.
The Mother-of-Pearl (MOP) Lange 1 models (110.029 and 110.030) require a thicker case (10.4mm vs. 10.0mm) and a different movement calibre (L901.4 vs. L901.0) due to the dial's thickness.
Some collectors believe the guilloche MOP Lange 1 was not more popular because it was perceived as 'feminine,' despite its unique character in person.
The contest entries often creatively linked the Lange One to the history of Dresden and Saxony, symbolizing the rebirth of A. Lange & Söhne.
The Semper Opera House is recognized as a major inspiration for the Lange design DNA, with collectors photographing their watches in front of it.

disappointed that contest limited to Lange 1s

What proud loyal Lange owner wouldn't want to win an all expenses paid trip to Dresden and join the celebration? 1994 marked a turning point for the company that one way or the other resulted in any contemporary piece. Plus, it would be fun to see all the additional eye candy from non-Lange 1 entries!
