A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1 101.032 First Generation
The Lange 1 is the definition of German watchmaking. Although the dial is a non-traditional asymmetric configuration, the components within the dial are designed to be propertionally perfect to the rule of third, giving the watch a visual balance. This rose gold iteration is everything you would look for in a dress watch with a subtle case design that catches the eyes of a watch enthusiast. as cliche as it gets, if you know, you know.

Our Thoughts:
We are big fans of German watchmaking and more specifically A. Lange & Söhne. due to its less “traditional” looks the German brand is a rather niche brand but one that is greatly appreciated amongst enthusiast groups due to its highly precise watchmaking techniques and the capabilities of its designs.
This 101.032 in rose gold is what typifies what the brand does the best. Perfect readability and functionality comes first with a simplistic yet luxurious case and dial design that just clicks for me. The German silver three-quarter plate coupled with the 18k gold case makes the watch heavier than it looks but it is also the exact reason why the watch feels premium and well built, expecially when you get to see the beautiful L901.0 movement with the islands.
