Purchasing products online has become commonplace these days. Luxury watches are no exception. At our store, many customers search for information published on our website (hereafter referred to as HP) before coming to the store, and many also purchase directly online. In fact, products with a high number of hits are almost always sold immediately. This is why the number of HP hits is an important indicator for measuring the attention and popularity of a product in the market.

Therefore, we would like to introduce the top five most popular models for the past six months, by brand, over multiple installments. We hope that you will pay attention to this ranking and use it as a tool to identify models that are in high demand.

This time, we will be focusing on models from A. Lange & Söhne, one of the world's top five watch brands! Please enjoy until the end.

5th place

Lange 1 "Ref. 191.039"

In fifth place is the Ref. 191.039, which was redesigned in 2015, about 20 years after the release of the Lange 1, A. Lange & Söhne's iconic watch.

While the design remains largely the same as the previous Lange 1, the movement is the Cal. L121.1, which makes extensive use of new parts produced in-house, significantly improving accuracy. Furthermore, the brand's signature "outsize date" has also been improved, changing from the previous slow date change to an instantaneous change. Packed with the latest technology and beautifully arranged in the golden ratio, this is an enchanting watch that is no exaggeration to call a work of art.

4th place

Odysseus "Ref.363.179"

In fourth place is the Ref. 363.179 from the Odysseus series, the brand's first luxury sports model, released in 2019 .

This model features a three-piece construction consisting of a middle case, bezel, and case back, dramatically increasing its functionality and practicality by increasing water resistance to 120m from the 30m of previous models such as the Lange 1 and 1815. The dark blue dial, accented with 18K white gold hands and indexes, features a large oversized date display at 3 o'clock, making it not only stylish but also highly legible. This is the most expensive collection from A. Lange & Söhne, and it is an excellent watch in terms of design, functionality, and investment value.

3rd place

"A. Lange 1 Moon Phase" "Ref. 192.032"

Coming in third place is the Lange 1 Moon Phase, Ref. 192.032, released in 2017.

Equipped with a swan-neck spring and a beat error correction device that can be fine-tuned using the side adjustment screws, this watch is equipped with the hand-wound "Cal. L121.3" movement, which is based on the intricate "Cal. L121.1" and further refined to achieve a power reserve of approximately 72 hours. The moon phase display, which displays the phases of the moon with a high degree of precision—with an error of just one day every 122.6 years—is integrated with a day/night indicator called the "Celestial Disc," which rotates once every 24 hours and changes to various beautiful shades of blue depending on the time of day. The refreshing blue and silver combinations are eye-catching, making this a recommended watch designed according to the golden ratio.

2nd place

Datograph "Ref. 403.035"

Coming in second place is the Datograph Ref. 403.035, a chronograph model released in 1999 .

The combination of a platinum (PT) case and a bold black dial creates a dignified finish, and its greatest feature is the chronograph movement "Cal. L951.1." Its beautiful form, visible through the skeleton case back, has been described as "the most beautiful mechanical watch," and is sure to captivate anyone. It also features a patented "Precision Jumping Minute Counter" technology, which ensures extremely high accuracy when measuring the chronograph, making it exceptionally functional. This is a supreme watch packed with stunning design and technical prowess.
( *Precision jumping minute counter: A mechanism in which the scale of the counter moves exactly at the 60-second mark. With a normal chronograph, the scale starts moving "around" 60 seconds, so when you stop the counter at exactly 60 seconds, it can be difficult to read whether the counter is moving or not. )

1st place

Lange 1, Reference 191.032

Taking the honorable first place is the Lange 1 (Ref. 191.032), which can be said to be the face of A. Lange & Söhne.

Its main features include the adoption of the new movement "Cal. L121.1" and an updated outsize date display that allows instant switching of the date display. Not only is the asymmetrical dial layout, formed in the golden ratio, visually beautiful, but the combination of the 18KPG (pink gold) case and silver dial gives it a bold yet sophisticated impression. If you're looking for a model that expresses dignity and style, this is a watch you should definitely try.

summary

What did you think?

While A. Lange & Söhne's iconic watch, the Lange 1, was the clear winner, popular collections such as the Odysseus and Datograph also made it onto the list. Each of the brand's products has its own eye-catching individuality, making it difficult to choose a favorite, which is why they made the list without being biased towards any particular collection. When it comes to luxury watches, the best way to experience them is to see them in person. If you're in the area, be sure to stop by Commit Ginza.

We hope this article will be helpful for your buying and selling. Please look forward to the next access rankings!
