A. Lange & Söhne Grand Lange 1 in white gold

The dial is solid silver, finished in a cool, even shade that sets off the white-gold case without a trace of warmth. Its layout is the Lange 1’s deliberate asymmetry: the time sits off-centre, the outsize date fills a double window, and a power-reserve indicator reminds the owner to wind.

The Grand Lange 1 opens the case to 41 millimeters while holding it to 8.2 millimeters high, thin enough to slip under a cuff. Inside is the manually wound L095.1, 397 parts on a single mainspring barrel that still reaches a 72-hour reserve. A sapphire case back shows the movement, and the strap is black alligator with a white-gold prong buckle.
