The calibre L095.1
SEEN THROUGH A WATCHMAKER’S LOUPE (2 MB)

THE NEW INTRINSIC VALUES OF THE GRAND LANGE 1.

The manually wound movement of this GRAND LANGE 1 is the eleventh calibre in the LANGE 1 watch family. Despite the slightly reduced case diameter, a slimmer silhouette could be realised, thus enabling the refinement of the dial layout and the case proportions of the watch. Even with the height reduction, it has a power reserve of 72 hours. This is due to the fact that the larger barrel accommodates a longer mainspring. The accuracy of the watch is optimised with a balance spring developed and manufactured in-house, a feat only a handful of manufactories is capable of.


Gold chatons secured with blue screws

LAVISH FINISSAGE TRUE TO GLASHÜTTE TRADITIONS.

The three-quarter plate made of untreated German silver is decorated with ribbing, and all edges in the movement are chamfered and polished. Even the surfaces that ordinarily remain concealed to the eye of the beholder are meticulously finished. A total of 42 synthetic ruby jewel bearings reduce mechanical friction in the movement to a minimum. Seven of them are held in precious gold chatons that are secured with blued screws.

The calibre L095.1

ENDOWED WITH SAXON INGENUITY.

The manually wound movement of the GRAND LANGE 1 has a stop seconds feature activated when the crown is pulled, a patented twin-disc mechanism for the display of the outsize date, and a mechanism that indicates the power reserve. A screw balance with a Lange balance spring is responsible for the accuracy of the GRAND LANGE 1. It is shock-proofed, executes 21,600 semi-oscillations per hour, and is adjusted in five positions. The hand-engraved balance cock carries the whiplash precision index adjuster. This patented adjustment system makes it possible to accurately set the impulse pin relative to the pallet fork without removing the balance wheel.
