Lange is having a break-out year at SIHH, and that's saying a lot because, you know, this is Lange. Adding to the fire is this new Grand Lange 1 Moonphase Lumen, the third open dial watch from Lange in its 21 year history.
The last Lange to receive the "Lumen" treatment was at SIHH 2013 and that was a similar watch, the regular Grand Lange 1. Lange has taken this base model and given the same look to the slightly more expensive and esoteric Grande Lange 1 Moonphase, with the moonphase display being at the very center of the action here.
Different from Lange’s previous moon-phase models with solid-gold lunar discs, this watch has a disc made of glass. It is first coated, and then 1,164 stars and moon are laser cut into it. Thanks to the luminous compound behind the lunar disc, the stars and moon shine when charged, giving the watch an insanely cool look in the metal.l. Once properly set, the moonphase only needs to be corrected by one day every 122.6 years.
The Grand Lange 1 Moonphase Lumen is a limited edition of 200 pieces, all in platinum and at 41mm in size. The price is 69,000 euro and it will be available later this year. More here.
