Doha: The German manufactory, A. Lange & Söhne is participating in the 2022 edition of the Doha Jewellery & Watches Exhibition (DJWE), and showcasing masterpieces of fine watch-making that meet the highest standards in terms of craftsmanship, precision, and design
This year’s presentation of A. Lange & Söhne in Doha focuses on outstanding mechanical timepieces that combine challenging complications, elaborate functionality and distinctive design.
Highlights of the collection include the redesigned GRAND LANGE 1 which was recently introduced at this year´s Watches and Wonders in Geneva. The timepiece features a grey dial and even more elegant proportions. Available in 18-carat white or pink gold, it has a diameter of 41 millimetres and a height of just 8.2 millimetres. The starting point for the development of the GRAND LANGE 1 was the LANGE 1 – a design classic and one of the first watches made following the re-establishment of the Saxon manufactory in 1990. With pioneering features such as the off-centre dial layout and outsize date, this watch family embodies both tradition and innovation. Therefore, two models of the LANGE 1 will also be among the horological masterpieces on display: the LANGE 1 TIME ZONE and the LANGE 1 PERPETUAL CALENDAR.
In addition, two models of the ZEITWERK family – Lange’s first mechanical wristwatch with a precisely jumping digital display – were presented at the exhibition as well. The ZEITWERK DATE is endowed with a manufacture calibre featuring a remarkable extra function: the glass ring date shows the current date in red. The ZEITWERK STRIKING TIME is Lange’s first ever acoustically indicating watch and uses a striking mechanism that is visible on the dial side and indicates the quarter-hours as well as the full hours.
The most complex watch on display will be the DATOGRAPH PERPETUAL TOURBILLON with a 729-part calibre L952.2 movement. This exceptional timepiece, available in white gold with a pink gold dial, unites three significant complications: a flyback chronograph with a precisely jumping minute counter, a perpetual calendar with a moon-phase display and a tourbillon with a patented stop-seconds mechanism. Like every movement of a Lange watch, the movement of the DATOGRAPH PERPETUAL TOURBILLON is assembled twice to assure the best quality.
The brand´s devotion to the highest standards is also reflected in the new booth concept, which was specially created for the participation in the exhibit. “We have designed a setting that expresses what our watches are all about: the quest for perfection and search for uniqueness,” explained Jean Bitar, Brand Director at A. Lange & Söhne Middle East, India and Africa.
“For many years, the Doha Jewellery & Watches Exhibition has been an important platform for us to meet with watch enthusiasts who value our heritage and legacy. We are pleased to experience that the number of connoisseurs in the Middle East region and especially in Qatar has grown steadily. We also thank our partner Al Majed who shares our philosophy to never stand still, which has been the key to our ongoing success,” he added.
