A. Lange Sohne - Zeitwerk winner of "L' Aiguille d'Or" | replica watch Reviews
Press releaseThe Lange Zeitwerk by A. Lange Sohne was awarded the "L' Aiguille d'Or" ("Golden Hand") at the "Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Geneve" on Saturday evening. The awards ceremony event took place at the Geneva Grand Theatre.
A. Lange SohneThe "Grand Prix de Geneve", which was organized for the ninth time, is said to be the leading award of the Swiss replica watch industry. The Lange Zeitwerk successfully competed against a total of 362 timepiece candidates and won in the most important category "L'Aiguille d'Or - by a distance best according to an international expert jury. It was the first time that a non-Swiss replica watch brand was honoured in this category. Company founder Walter Lange and CEO Jerzy Schaper received the prize. In his words of thanks Walter Lange, who turned 85 this year, reminded of the fall of the Berlin wall. The anniversary of this event was celebrated for the 20th time a few days ago and was essential for the successful comeback of the traditional brand from Saxony. Lange Zeitwerk is the first mechanical wristwatch with a truly eloquent jumping numeral display. This completely innovative replica watch concept was presented in May this year and marks a milestone in the history of A. Lange Sohne giving a face to a new horological era. Lange Zeitwerk the Face of a New EpochWith a new timepiece concept, A. Lange Sohne ventures a bold step forwardOften, it is a new face that ushers in new times. That was the case after the rift in Europe had healed and the LANGE 1 paved the way for the comeback of A. Lange Sohne. Fifteen years ago, it enriched the realm of horology with a fundamentally new concept and unprecedented technical finesse. As a design icon, it has long conquered its place at the pinnacle of timelessness. Now, with a mechanical, precisely jumping hour and minute indication of singular clarity, Lange presents another milestone. So yet again, a new face ushers in the next era in timekeeping. Its name: Lange Zeitwerk.
A. Lange Sohne
"I shut my eyes in order to see" the creative maxim of famous French painter Paul Gauguin was adopted by Lange's calibre engineers and designers as they resolved to explore uncharted territory and, from an unbiased viewpoint, devise a replica watch that would be evolutionary and progressive in every respect. Ultimately, progress is always a result of curiosity. The question at Lange was: "Can the principles of a mechanical replica watch and a modern time indication format be persuasively combined? " The answer is the first mechanical wristwatch with a truly eloquent jumping numeral display. It is a replica watch that reinterprets time in an era of change. It not only endows time with a new face but also defines a new direction in watchmaking. It is a timepiece that embodies the spirit of time and simultaneously transcends it. Indeed, it is a replica watch that lets its owner experience a totally new sense of time. A fresh design concept underscores the paradigm shift: The German-silver time bridge unfolds its wings across the entire width of the dial to prominently frame the large numerals of the laterally aligned windows that present the hours and minutes. It extends down to encircle the subsidiary seconds dial as well, uniting all three levels of time measurement in a harmonious setting. With its easy-to-grip bevelled flutes, the knurled crown points up and away, predicting an upswing movement. And in the upper third of the dial, the continuous power-reserve indicator reliably tells the owner when it is time to re-energise the movement. With its emblematic name, the Lange Zeitwerk is a replica watch that stands for uncom-promising clarity. Thanks to the unparalleled size of its numerals, it tells the current time at even a cursory glance. With a whispered click and within fractions of a second, the minute display advances step by step until the replica watch initiates the big jump at the top of the hour. At this point, all three numeral discs switch forward simultaneously and instantaneously by exactly one unit. Here, timekeeping is elevated to the status of an event. The perfect moment for the showdown is at 11:59 "high noon" in a widescreen format. The seconds hand embarks on its leisurely trajectory along the periphery of the subsidiary dial. Time seems to slow down as its course is deliberately observed. Thirty seconds to go. Mounting suspense. Then: ten … three, two, one click 12:00. One small step for a watch, but a giant leap for horology. Beneath the extraordinary face, an equally revolutionary movement with a diameter of 33. 6 millimetres fully occupies the space inside the 41. 9-millimetre gold or platinum case. The significant amount of energy required to simultaneously advance all three numeral discs once every hour is delivered by a newly developed barrel with an extra-strong mainspring. Its patented design literally turns the venerable wind/unwind principle upside down. Thus, the mainspring barrel bearing with the higher friction rating is involved when the replica watch is being wound, but the barrel wheel always turns in the minimised-friction bearing as the mainspring gradually relaxes. This makes more torque available for powering the replica watch as well as the ensemble of discs with the hour and minute numerals. A constant-force escapement, also patented, between the barrel wheel and the balance acts as a pacemaker for the jumping advance of the hours and minutes in its compactness, the mechanism is quite likely unprecedented. The forces that occur when the numeral discs are accelerated and braked are far beyond the magnitude normally encountered in a movement. To absorb them, a fly governor was integrated in the mechanism. As it rotates, its vanes must displace air like a fan; it is this resistance that dissipates much of the energy and assures gentle switching. At the same time, the constant-force escapement makes an important contribution to stabilising the rate of the movement: across the entire 36-hour autonomy period, it drives the balance with nearly uniform power, regardless of the state of wind of the mainspring and unaffected by the energy-consuming switching cycles that take place in one-minute intervals. Incidentally, a balance wheel with eccentric poising weights and a hairspring manufactured in-house constitute the high-precision beat controller. As progressive as this replica watch with the "A. Lange Sohne" signature may be, it remains a staunch advocate of classic horological values. A glance through the sapphire-crystal caseback reveals the lavishly decorated L043. 1 manufacture calibre that in addition to all its technical novelties of course also features a three-quarter plate, a hand-engraved balance cock, and screwed gold chatons each element is an endearingly familiar and regal asset of every Lange watch.
