A. Lange & S?hne A rare and very fine limited edition platinum quarter and hour striking wristwatch with digital time display, power reserve and hack feature, with guarantee and presentation box, numbered 58 of 100 pieces
44mm diameter
A. Lange & S?hne Zeitwerk collection is a technical marvel with an aesthetically pleasing design that today is recognizable for its large case and digital jump hour display when it was first released in 2011.
The Lange Zeitwerk Striking Time is a complex technical watch in that the time instantaneously jumps on three discs, which requires a considerable amount of energy, but on the hours and quarters there has to be enough stored energy to actuate the striking train. In typical high precision German engineering, the A. Lange & S?hne solved the issue of the three time discs changing with the use of a constant force escapement and remontoire. For the striking mechanism there is enough stored energy in the striking train that it will chime the time. The Zeitwerk Striking Time indicates the quarters with a high pitch gong found on the right side of the dial, while the hour is indicated by a lower pitch tone, from a gong on the left side of the dial.
The present watch is in excellent overall condition and comes complete with guarantee and presentation box. The Zeitwerk collection of watches represents a pinnacle in precision engineering and horology. The platinum reference 14525 was made in a limited number of only 100 examples, and this is a rare opportunity for collectors to own a Zeitwerk.
