The Grand Lange 1 "Lumen" event: comprehensive report
Dec 09, 2012,01:22 AM
Ken and I we were very happy to participate to the Pre-SIHH event organized by Lange to unveil the Grand Lange 1 "Lumen". During these 3 days, in Dresden or in Glashütte, we could appreciate the warm welcome from Saxony and from the whole Lange team, visit the Manufacture, enjoy the beauties of the monuments of the capital and obviously discover the newest watch.
"25": this figure was the common thread during the whole stay.
25 as the symbol of the big date display.
I remind you very quickly the reason behind the use of the 25 in all the Lange presentations and catalogues:
- the first reason is an historical one. The Lange watches of the rebirth were presented to the public the 24th of October, 1994. So the date 25 was used to get the correct date on the pictures in the newspapaers of the day after .
- the second reason is to avoid a confusion with a second timezone indicator. So a date higher than 24 was required.
- last reason is aesthetic. 25 is a harmonious number because there is a symmetry between 2 and 5. Flip 2 and you get 5.
The big date is the sparkle which led to the creation of the Grand Lange 1 "Lumen" and this timepiece is a beautiful watch.
It doesn't bring anything new in terms of horological contents when compared with the Grand Lange which was introduced at the beginning of the year. But it has an unusual charm which makes it very attractive.
But before discovering the watch, I propose you to browse some pics of the atmosphere around the event and the presentation.
