at the 4th “watches & wonders” shanghai high-end watch exhibition, a. lange & söhne meticulously presented the development history of the datograph large calendar chronograph, the iconic chronograph watch of a. lange & söhne. this included several datograph large calendar chronograph watches and other masterpieces of complex functions since its launch in 1999, to celebrate its 25th anniversary of glory.
in the center of the exhibition hall, a giant watch installation with a height of 3.3 meters is built in proportion to the new datograph large calendar chronograph power reserve indicator watch released in april this year, showing the extremely precise mechanical beauty of this watch. many datograph classic watches and two commemorative works released in april this year are displayed in the exhibition hall for the audience to see.
in another area of the exhibition hall, lange exhibited a variety of watches with complex functions and different materials. this year's new datograph large calendar chronograph perpetual calendar tourbillon "lumen" watch 18k honey gold is displayed in a display cabinet equipped with a luminous display "lumen" watch. lange's watches named "lumen" all use sapphire crystal glass dials covered with a translucent coating, allowing ultraviolet rays to pass through to absorb visible light waves for mechanical parts covered with luminous materials, so that they can emit light in the dark and achieve clear reading time. in addition to the new models, this display cabinet also displays other "lumen" models such as the lange 1 lange 1 large "lumen" watch, as well as the datograph large calendar chronograph power reserve indicator "lumen" watch movement display. there are also display cabinets for watches equipped with perpetual calendar and tourbillon complications, as well as watches equipped with lange's exclusive 18k honey gold material, showing that lange's complex mechanical structure has different layout characteristics and mechanical structures in different series of watches, including complex functions paired with the exclusive 18k honey gold precious metal material. the unique and warm luster it presents all demonstrates lange's pursuit of the concept of "never stopping" on the road of watchmaking.
at the exhibition, visitors can also admire the engraving masters from the saxony watch factory in the lange exhibition hall to decorate the balance cock with the concave engraving process. due to its complex floral pattern, this tiny and beautifully decorated movement component is a beloved symbol of every lange watch. each hand-carved balance cock has a different style in the hands of different engravers, making each watch a unique work.
