As we approach the upcoming Christie’s New York auction on June 7, 2016 the ultra-rare stainless steel Lange 1 with a killer black dial has already enticed a lot of buzz among my collector friends. A. Lange & Söhne does not regularly produce watches in steel, only in precious metals and this watch is one of only three with a black dial and stainless steel case.
This year heralds the perfect version of A. Lange & Söhne’s Grand Lange 1, a watch that is able to win over even the staunchest fans of the classic 38.5 mm size (like our Elizabeth Doerr). Take a look, she’s sure you’ll agree.

Lange & Söhne’s rebirth as well as the golden age of mechanical timepieces.
