Notes

Founded in 1845, in Glashütte, by Ferdinand Adolph Lange (1815-1875), A. Lange & Sohne is probably the most famous German manufacture specialized in complicated and classic luxury watchmaking. The Zeitwerk is the first mechanical wristwatch that displays the time digitally with jumping numerals that allow unambiguous legibility at all times. In addition to a tens- and a units-minute disc, the jumping numerals mechanism is endowed with a large hour ring that spans almost the entire diameter of the movement. All numerals are identical in size and arranged for natural left-to-right reading.
