Introducing: A. Lange & Söhne Grand Lange 1 “25th Anniversary”
During SIHH, A. Lange & Söhne announced that in honor of the 25th anniversary of the original Lange 1 timepiece, the German brand would be introducing a new limited-edition take on the watch every month of the year until October 24, 2019 (10 total watches).

The fact that the dial proportions are enlarged in comparison with the original is not readily apparent, except when the two models are viewed next to one another.
The new Grand Lange 1 has a 41 mm white gold case as opposed to the 38.5 mm that Lange 1 measures. The Grand Lange 1 has a case thickness of 8.8 mm, the Lange 1 had a case profile that measures 9.8 mm (the regular version, that is ? not the cuvette-case 25th-anniversary edition that we profiled here). This is due to the fact that the manually wound Caliber L095.1 is 34.1 mm wide and allows a more compact arrangement with only one spring barre...
