How much do you know about the market price of luxury watches in the secondary market? If you look at the data of various watch shops every day, you may say, "I know it all!" However, it is nearly impossible to set aside the time to do so, and I think there are not many people like that. (Please forgive me, enthusiasts who check it every day (lol)). Furthermore, there are probably many people who are new to watches and think, "I want to buy a luxury watch, but honestly, I have no idea how much it will cost."
So in this article, we would like to tell you "how much each model is selling for" = "how much you can buy it for" based on the average selling price in our store for the past year ! This is the seventh article, and this time we will focus on the "Lange 1", "Saxonia", "Datograph", and "1815" from A. Lange & Söhne! Although it is only a guideline, please read to the end and use it as a reference!

The Lange 1 features a design based on the golden ratio of two subdials, a power reserve, and an oversized date. It is not only beautiful to look at, but also highly legible and has a stop-second function that allows you to stop the second hand by turning the crown, making it a practical design. It stands out among the many dress watches available, so it is especially recommended for those who want a watch that is different from others or a watch that only watch lovers can understand.

[A. Lange & Söhne] The name of the Saxonia comes from the state of Saxony in Germany, where the company was founded in Glashütte. One of the attractions of the Saxonia is that it has Lange's unique features, such as German silver parts, a three-quarter plate, and hand engraving on the balance cock, but is also affordable. There is a wide variety of models available, from classic and simple designs to elaborate designs with outsize dates, chronographs, and moon phases, so you should be able to easily find a model that suits your taste.

The Datograph is equipped with a multi-function chronograph, also known as the "world's best chronograph," and is a strong example of A. Lange & Söhne's technical prowess. The dial, which features a date display, chronograph, tachymeter, and other functions, may seem too bold, but when worn, it gives a surprisingly clean impression. In addition, the precision jumping minute counter, one of the model's distinctive features ( a mechanism in which the scale of the counter moves to exactly 60 seconds after the chronograph is activated) is one of a kind in terms of accuracy. This is a model that we highly recommend to anyone who wants to experience Lange's excellent technical prowess.
Ref.404.035: 9,500,000 yen
Ref.405.035: 9,799,000 yen

The 1815 inherits many traditional elements of A. Lange & Söhne. It incorporates elements reminiscent of older models, such as Arabic numerals and a railway-motif minute scale, so you can feel the inherited design. The movement also features the brand's unique German silver three-quarter plate and hand-engraved balance cock, highlighting the craftsmanship of the craftsmen. Even if you already own one of the brand's models, this is a model you should definitely try out.
