About twenty years ago the family-run Glashütte arose from the ashes following the war and the division of Germany to unveil its first collection which included the Lange1 model. The Saxon company is bringing out a completely mechanical and feminine take on its star product. The daintily named Petite Lange1 “Soirée” has veiled its mother-of-pearl face in chocolate tones framed by a rose gold bezel paved with 52 brilliant-cut diamonds. Its dial displays the hours and minutes off-centre at 9 o’ clock, the small seconds (with stop seconds) at 4.30, power reserve at 3 o’ clock and a large double date display on a white background at 1.30. The 36mm rose gold case houses the L901.4 calibre: a manual-wind mechanical movement made by A.Lange & Söhne whose power reserve lasts approximately 72 hours. The model is also available in white mother-of-pearl and paved rose gold. Price: 51,700 CHF
