Commit Ginza Top 5 Watches in 2024 "Second Half" ~ [A. Lange & Söhne] Edition ~

Whether you own a luxury watch or not, you have probably wondered at least once, "Which model is popular?" While everyone has their own motivations, such as "I want a popular classic model!" or "I want a model that no one else has!" , it is difficult to know which models are actually popular unless you get real-time information.

So this time, we will be revealing the top 5 A. Lange & Söhne models handled by Commit Ginza (hereinafter referred to as our store) in the second half of 2024! Please enjoy reading the article while imagining the rankings together with us.

5th place

1815 Chronograph "Ref.414.026"

In fifth place is the "1815 Chronograph" "Ref. 414.026," named after the year of the birth of the company's founder, Adolf Lange, and characterized by its dignified and solid construction.

Also known as the "Doctor's Chronograph" because of the pulsometer (scale for measuring pulse rate) on the outer periphery of the dial , this watch has a case thickness of 11mm, which fits comfortably on the wrist, and the elegant two-counter chronograph is placed on the 39.5mm dial in an exquisite balance. Like the classic "Datograph," it uses a "precision jumping minute counter," which makes the chronograph measurement extremely accurate.
(*Precision jumping minute counter: A mechanism in which the scale of the counter moves exactly at the 60-second position. With a normal chronograph, the scale starts to move "around" 60 seconds, so when the counter is stopped exactly at 60 seconds, it can be misread as to whether the counter is advancing or not.)

This high-precision function is realized by the hand-wound movement "Cal. L951.5" that boasts a power reserve of about 60 hours. This high functionality and beautiful engraving that is worthy of being called a work of art can be appreciated from the case back. It is a high-quality model that even watch enthusiasts will groan with .

4th place

Lange 1 Time Zone "Ref. 116.032"

Coming in fourth place is the Lange 1 Time Zone "Ref. 116.032," which has a "world time function" that allows you to read the time at home and in a second time zone.

This watch not only has a world time function, but also has a day and night display for both time zones, so you can tell the difference between day and night at a glance, which shows the high level of technology. In addition, the automatic movement " Cal.L031.1 ", which can be viewed through the see-through case back, has a power reserve of approximately 72 hours, and its performance is impeccable. In terms of design, the 18KPG (pink gold) case and silver dial, while retaining the elegance unique to the "Lange 1", have changed from a classic impression to a modern atmosphere. This is a watch that I would definitely recommend to those who are looking for a model that is a little different from others and those who fly abroad.

3rd place

Lange 1, Reference 191.032

In third 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 that allows the date display to be switched instantly. 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 a bold yet elegant impression. If you are looking for a model that expresses dignity and style, this is a watch you should definitely try.

2nd place

Lange 1, Reference 191.039

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

While the design is almost the same as the previous Lange 1, the movement is equipped with the Cal. L121.1, which uses a lot of new parts produced in-house, and the accuracy has been greatly improved. Furthermore, the "outsize date", which is a characteristic of the brand, has also been improved, changing from the previous slow date change to an instant date change. Packed with the latest technology and beautifully arranged in the golden ratio, this is an attractive watch that can be called a work of art.

1st place

Odysseus "Ref.363.179"

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

This model has a three-piece structure consisting of a middle case, bezel, and case back, and is water resistant to 120 meters, a leap in functionality from the 30 meters of the previous Lange 1 and 1815 models, making it more practical. The dark blue dial features a large oversized date at the 3 o'clock position, highlighting the 18KWG (white gold) hands and indexes, making it not only stylish but also easy to read. This is the most expensive collection from A. Lange & Söhne, and it can be said to be an excellent watch in terms of design, functionality, and value.
