Born from A. Lange & Söhne's revival in 1990, the Lange 1 collection established a new visual language for Saxon watchmaking — one defined by its distinctive asymmetric dial layout. Reference 116.039 continues that tradition in a 41mm white gold case, pairing a silver dial with Roman numeral and index hour markers alongside blued steel hands for a composition that suits both dress and casual occasions.
The dial's architecture accommodates an impressive array of complications: dual time zone display with day/night indicators for home and local time, a power reserve indicator, date, and subsidiary seconds — all arranged with characteristic Lange clarity. The manual-wind movement drives everything with a 72-hour power reserve, and the exhibition caseback opens a window onto the hand-engraved balance cock and three-quarter plate construction that are hallmarks of Glashütte craft.
A black alligator strap secured by a tang buckle completes the watch, offering a contrast that draws out the silver dial's tone. Water resistance is rated to 30 meters. Manufactured in Germany, this Lange 1 Time Zone is a unisex piece equally suited to the boardroom and formal occasions alike.
