A. Lange & Söhne Zeitwerk 140.029 in 18ct Solid White Gold. Originally inspired by the Dresden Semper Opera House clock, created in 1841 with the help of Ferdinand A. Lange.Zeitwerk is the first mechanical wristwatch with a full digital display that showcase the hours and minutes with jumping numerals.
The minute displays jump instantly, which doesn’t sound like a very complex function until you start consider the amount of power required to move these discs around. All this is made possible by a special escapement integrated between the barrel wheel and the balance. A rementoir gains, holds, and releases the energy required to move each disc every 60 seconds in a small burst of power, and then over the remaining minute rebuilds. This continues in a cycle.
Powered by a 36 hour power reserve caliber L043.1, with 416 individual, beautifully finished components. A gorgeously made movement that show not just details but also layers. Cal. L043.1 is truely a piece of art that showcasing top notch craftsmanship and attention to details.
Circa 2018, this A. Lange & Söhne Zeitwerk 140.029 is in very good pre-owned condition. Comes with the full set of original box and paper, as well as our 24 month Vintage Watch Co warranty.
