📖 About This Reference

The A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1 Time Zone reference 116.025 is the platinum flagship of the Time Zone family, combining the collection's most exclusive case material with a rhodium dial that lends the complex display a cool, modern sophistication. At 41.9mm, the platinum case has a commanding presence on the wrist, and its considerable weight serves as a constant tactile reminder of the metal's rarity. The rhodium dial organizes two complete time displays, twin day/night indicators, an outsize date, a power reserve indicator, and a city ring with admirable clarity. The caliber L031.1 is wound by hand and delivers 72 hours of power reserve -- enough autonomy to cover a transatlantic journey and the jet lag that follows. The dual-time-zone mechanism allows independent adjustment of local time in one-hour increments, preserving the home time display undisturbed. This practical intelligence is matched by the movement's aesthetic beauty: through the sapphire caseback, the hand-engraved balance cock, Glashuette-striped three-quarter plate, and carefully blued steel screws present a vision of horological artistry that justifies every minute spent gazing at the reverse of the watch. Platinum Lange 1 Time Zone watches are among the rarest regularly produced A. Lange & Söhne references, sought after by collectors who understand that the combination of mechanical sophistication, precious material, and Glashuette finishing at this level represents something genuinely special. Reference 116.025 is a watch that performs a complex function with apparent simplicity, looks striking without trying, and carries on the legacy of innovation that has defined A. Lange & Söhne since Ferdinand Adolph Lange first set up his workbench in the Ore Mountains of Saxony nearly two centuries ago.
