DESCRIPTION
- The DATOGRAPH in pink gold.
A new face for a masterpiece
A. Lange & Söhne’s DATOGRAPH is legitimately referred to as one of the most cultivated chronographs of the new era. One reason is its superior technology – a perfect union of tradition and innovation. Another is the unexcelled harmony of its displays. Its balanced geometry now comes to the fore particularly well in a new version with a pink-gold case and a bright silver dial.
A man’s heart tends to skip a beat for an exceptional watch like the Lange DATOGRAPH introduced in 1999 – perhaps because it is so different from the countless other watches with stop functions … so unmistakably “Lange”. It is progressive and self-confident in terms of technology, yet understated on the wrist. Everything that was ever invented along the road to perfection in the mechanical measurement of short times, such as the column-wheel mechanism, the jumping minute counter, or the flyback function, is united in its lucid calibre L951.1 movement. And of course, apart from the innovative details and new ways of implementing functions, it also features all of the typical hallmarks of Lange watchmaking artistry like the sturdy Glashütte-style three-quarter plate, meticulously decorated bridges and plates made of untreated German silver, the hand-engraved balance cock and gold chatons held by screws.
The 405 individual parts of the precision-engineered movement interact with peerless choreography behind the sapphire-crystal caseback. Every important function can be observed as it takes place in fluid motion. The actors include the stepped pinion for the precisely jumping minute counter with its patented adjustment device, the classic column wheel, and the wheel train that transmits power from the basic movement to the chronograph mechanism. All parts are painstakingly finished, and bearing jewels in screwed gold chatons create luxurious accents in their illustrious mechanical surroundings.
The well-organised dial with its easily legible displays is a model of harmonious design. The secret of this harmony is hidden beneath the striking architecture of the dial: From the very beginning, the movement was constructed in such a manner that the axially symmetric Lange outsize date and the two subsidiary dials form an equilateral triangle. Along with the stately Roman numerals and the tachometer scale, this geometric balance gives the face of the DATOGRAPH that special look of composure.
When launched in 1999, the DATOGRAPH was available only in a platinum version with a black dial. Some time later, a pink-gold model was introduced, also with a black dial. Now, A. Lange & Söhne’s chronographic masterpiece is experiencing a further evolution. As of immediately, the noble pink-gold version is available in the classic combination with a bright silver dial and discreetly contrasting rhodié subsidiary dials as well as pink-gold appliques.
