The MINUTE REPEATER PERPETUAL, which combines two intricate and advanced functions, is a significant model presented by A. Lange & Söhne in the realms of acoustic and mechanical innovation. This timepiece features a platinum 950 case with a refined diameter of 40.5 mm. Adding a touch of elegance, it is paired with a glossy black enamel dial crafted in the A. Lange & Söhne workshops, creating a striking sense of depth. The dial is adorned with a prominent large date display, accompanied by three subdials that showcase various functionalities: day of the week and 24-hour display, month and leap year indicator, and a small seconds display paired with a moon phase complication. Notably, the moon phase at the 6 o’clock position is an exquisite detail, featuring over 100 intricately hand-engraved stars and a moon made from 750 gold, showcasing exceptional craftsmanship even in the smallest details.
Equipped with the newly developed in-house manual winding L122.2 movement, this watch is composed of 640 individual parts.

Every chime is meticulously tuned and assembled repeatedly by expert watchmakers to ensure uniform sound quality and perfect rhythm. The perpetual calendar remains accurate until the year 2100, with the moon phase boasting an error margin of only one day every 122.6 years. All calendar displays can be effortlessly adjusted using an integrated button, offering exceptional ease of use. This timepiece features a black alligator strap paired with a platinum 950 folding buckle.

1815 | With its slim 34mm proportions, this design beautifully recreates the aesthetic of a Lange pocket watch.

Available in two case options—750 white gold and 750 rose gold—it features a diameter of 34mm and a thickness of 6.4mm, offering a lightweight, comfortable fit that’s perfect against the skin. The design draws inspiration from 19th-century Lange pocket watches. The dial incorporates minute markers that echo the tracks of a railway and Arabic numerals to indicate the hour, with a small seconds subdial positioned at 6 o’clock. Leaf-shaped hands complement the aesthetic, blending simplicity with a meticulous attention to detail that exudes sophisticated craftsmanship. The white gold model is paired with a blue crocodile strap, while the rose gold version comes with a red-brown strap. The buckles are designed to match the material of their respective cases, showcasing a consistent and refined sense of artisan elegance.
The movement features the newly developed in-house L152.1 manual-winding caliber, consisting of a total of 171 components. This marks the 75th movement developed since the brand’s revitalization. It operates at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour and offers a 72-hour power reserve.
