A.Lange & Sohne Lange 1 Moon Phase in 18K White Gold 192.029 - Men's watch

A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1 Moon Phase 18K White Gold 192.029 Men’s Watch The Lange 1 is the watch that defined the modern revival of A. Lange & Söhne, and this 18K white gold version paired with a black dial expresses that spirit in a more restrained, understated way. It is also one of the most attractive and nuanced configurations of the contemporary Lange 1 Moon Phase line. First introduced in 2015, this is the second generation of the Lange 1 Moon Phase (following the original 2003 version), with several notable updates and improvements over the earlier model: - On the dial side, the typography was made slightly smaller, while the bezel was refined to be slimmer, in keeping with the more modern design direction pursued by the brand. - Most notably, the moonphase display was significantly enhanced and now incorporates a day/night indicator. - The outsized date now changes more smoothly, rather than using the dragging transition of the previous generation. - The movement was upgraded by A. Lange & Söhne to the calibre L121.3: the balance wheel area was repositioned from the opposite side to a location closer to the crown, and the so-called “little islands” were removed. - Another important change is that the gear train is now produced entirely in-house by A. Lange & Söhne, rather than relying on components sourced from Jaeger-LeCoultre. This is truly one of the most iconic and desirable watches to own from A. Lange & Söhne. In fact, on today’s secondary market, it is not easy to find a Lange 1 Moon Phase 192.029 — even though it is a regular production version and has not yet been discontinued by the brand.
