About This Watch

The A. Lange & Söhne Grand Lange 1 offers the iconic asymmetric dial layout in a larger 40.9mm case, addressing collectors who find the standard 38.5mm Lange 1 too small for modern tastes. The caliber L095.1 was developed specifically for the Grand Lange 1, with proportions optimized for the larger case. The same asymmetric arrangement of off-center time display, outsize date, power reserve, and small seconds is maintained, but the increased dial real estate provides enhanced legibility and visual impact. The movement incorporates the same double-assembly process, three-quarter plate in untreated German silver, and hand-engraved balance cock. The 72-hour power reserve provides practical weekend autonomy. Despite the larger diameter, the case remains remarkably slim at 9.1mm, preserving the dress watch character. The Grand Lange 1 bridges the gap between the classical proportions of the original Lange 1 and the contemporary preference for larger watches, offering the iconic design in a format that feels thoroughly modern while maintaining every element of Germanic haute horlogerie craftsmanship.
