A. Lange & Söhne
First launched in 1999, A. Lange & Söhne’s Datograph is widely
regarded as one of the most finely crafted and beautiful chronograph
wristwatches produced by a modern manufacture. It boasts an in-house
manual movement, expertly finished throughout with Glashütte stripes and
a signature hand-engraved balance cock. The full lexicon of movement
finishing is unleashed on each component of a Lange wristwatch: black
polishing, perlage, straight and circular graining, mirror polishing,
chamfering, and anglage, amongst others. The oversized date window
display particular to Lange wristwatches and inspired by the Dresden
Semper Opera clock crowns the dial atop simplified and highly legible
seconds and minute counters.
