- #alangesohne #datograph #watchesandwonders2024 @alangesoehne @watchesandwondersofficial 25 years after the launch of the DATOGRAPH, A. Lange & Söhne introduced a lustrous new interpretation: the DATOGRAPH PERPETUAL TOURBILLON HONEYGOLD “Lumen”. At Watches and Wonders 2024, the timepiece combining a flyback chronograph with a precise jumping minute counter, perpetual calendar and tourbillon with a stop-seconds mechanism has been presented ‒ for the first time in Lange-exclusive honey gold (HONEYGOLD®) and as a “Lumen” version, limited to 50 watches. Price: 620.000.- Euro including VAT.
DATOGRAPH designates a flyback chronograph with the typical Lange outsize date. The flyback mechanism allows quick consecutive time measurements because the three switching steps stop, reset to zero and start are executed with one single push of a button. The minute counter assures unambiguous readings of stopped times: it jumps to the next increment at the precise moment when the chrono seconds hand completes the 60th second. The functionality of the chronograph is complemented with a tachymeter scale for determining average speeds; it is located on the outer circumference of the dial made of coated sapphire crystal.
PERPETUAL refers to the perpetual calendar with its instantaneously switching displays. With a view to long-term time measurement, it is based on the Gregorian calendar and takes into account the different durations of the months, including leap-year deviations. Due to its stunning mechanical precision, the forward-looking moon-phase display will only deviate from the true lunation by a single day after 122.6 years. The rapid-correction button at 10 o’clock can be used to simultaneously advance all displays by one day. Three correctors on the flank of the case make it possible to separately adjust the moon-phase display, the day of the week, the month and the leap year.
TOURBILLON refers to the one-minute tourbillon with a stop-seconds mechanism; it offsets the influence of gravity on the going train. Once a minute, it rotates the rate-governing components ‒ balance, lever and escape wheel ‒ inside a filigreed cage about its own axis around the stationary fourth wheel. The highly aesthetic and horologically intricate device substantially improves rate accuracy of mechanical timepieces. 200 years after the tourbillon was invented, A. Lange & Söhne presented its stop-seconds mechanism in 2008, taking a huge step towards optimising this device. It made it possible to stop the tourbillon at will and set the watch to one-second accuracy for the very first time, regardless of the angular position of the balance or the orientation of the tourbillon cage. When the crown is pulled, a lever mechanism releases the stop lever, which guides the arresting spring in the direction of the balance. The contact pressure of the spring instantly stops both the balance and the tourbillon cage. When the crown is pushed home, the balance and tourbillon are released, and the watch instantly starts running again.
Not only does the DATOGRAPH PERPETUAL TOURBILLON HONEYGOLD “Lumen” distinguish itself thanks to its ingenuous mechanisms but also because of the lucid arrangement of the displays, translating technical finesse into an exceptional design language. Comprising an equilateral triangle formed by the Lange outsize date in a framed twin aperture beneath 12 o’clock and the two subsidiary dials, the dial architecture is a well-organised model of clarity, despite the abundance of displays. The subsidiary seconds dial, the day of the week and the day/night indicator are located on the left-hand side, while the precise jumping minute counter, the month and the leap year can be found on the right. The moon-phase display at 6 o’clock is harmoniously embedded in the ensemble.
The DATOGRAPH PERPETUAL TOURBILLON HONEYGOLD “Lumen” also reveals its radiant personality in the dark ‒ thanks to the semi-transparent dial and the luminous coating that make the displays and functions glow. The darker the surroundings, the more prominent the luminous elements appear. The hour and minute hands are inlaid with a luminous compound, while the chrono seconds hand is completely coated. The hands of the subsidiary seconds, month, day of the week and minute counter move above luminous subsidiary dials. The subjacent luminous compound causes the inscription on the circumferential dial ring with the minute scale and tachymeter scale to glow. The luminous outsize date, a distinctive highlight, first featured in the GRAND LANGE 1 “Lumen” in 2013, rendering the ingenious disc mechanism visible. Guaranteeing that the outsize date display also glows just after the daily switching sequence, presented a considerable challenge.

I’m so happy you’re doing this watch today!!!🎉🎉🎉
I am happy to read this! Thanks for sharing your passion with us!
Incredible. I adore ALS, my favorite high end watch brand. Would love to own a saxonia or 1815 up down
Thanks for sharing your passion with us!
This is a beautiful watch. Absolutely stunning! ( I cannot afford it, but I love it)
Same here… can’t afford it, but utterly impressed about what A. Lange & Söhne is doing….
Great watches. For me personally A. Lange makes the most beautiful watches on the entire watch market. Unfortunately I can never afford one😢
Thanks for sharing your passion with us! Never say never… we keep our fingers crossed 🤞🏼
Mutter Gottess!! 👮♂️
Amen!
😍 heaven on the wrist, i think superior to Patek Philippe.What beauties 😍
Love your passion, thanks for sharing! Which ALS is your favorite?
Horological heaven.
If there is something like heaven and if it linked to watchmaking... this in fact could be it ... Thanks for sharing your passion with us!
Right now a patek executive is destroying his office...simply stunning
😁😁😁 Both brands respect each others very much... it is more a friendly competition....
The Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon has always been in a class of its own since its launch in 2016. But as I personally like colored gold, the platinum/black dial and the white gold/salmon dial versions didn’t completely steal my heart. But this honeygold version… with such a fantastically executed lumen dial… I will never be able to afford such a watch and many who can will find it very hard to get one, but who cares? That this watch exists and that we are able to see it (thanks to you, Alexander) is pure joy in itself! Thank you!
Thanks for sharing your incredible passion with us! Love your comment…
A marvelous engineering masterpiece ! Thank you for presenting this Alex
Thanks for sharing your passion with us!
I could not agree more than a tourbillon should only be visible on the back. Its my belief that dials look better without a huge cut-out and spinny thing going round and round plus I like the romance of a high-complication that's only for the wearer. Its a really stunning watch but I have to say I think I prefer the original (technically the 2nd series) Lumens, in white metal. Just seems more cohesive than a colored gold case.
Thanks for sharing your passion with us… that’s an interesting read…
Moonphase, chronograph and tourbillion. What a curiosity!
Don’t forget the big date indication and the perpetual calendar…
Why most of a Lange design language never miss
Lane offers a more puristic design… if you like it there is nothing better… Which model is your favorite?
very nice...
More than this!!!! 😉
Just amazing
Yep! Thanks for sharing!
I wonder why the whitegold dato is priced similarly to the platinum
B cause it has been decided that way… this limited edition is sold out …
@@WatchAdvisorI can guarantee you its not sold out. That is what the brand will say.
The brand needs to make profits!
It is easy for ALS to sell a chronograph for that price…
@@WatchAdvisor the Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon in Salmon was “sold out” according to ALS years ago. There was one being offered at retail last year so…
Horological masters
Yessssss!
Nice watch
More than this!!! The ultimate chronograph....
Nice! 😎👍
Thanks for sharing!
Holy grail definitively, this will be a lifelong goal
Thanks for sharing your passion with us! We keep our fingers 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
Vielen Dank für das schöne Video. Ein echtes Kunstwerk! Leider finanziell für mich unerreichbar 😉
Was zählt ist die Leidenschaft … Näher als das werden die Meisten von uns nicht an diese Uhr herankommen…
Die Uhr ist einfach brutal. War an der Watches and Wonders, konnte die Uhr zwar nicht anprobieren aber ein Uhrmacher aus Glasshütte konnte uns die Uhr im Detail erklären. War sehr beeindruckend. Währen die Komplikationen nicht schon genug ist es noch eine Lumen, was die Uhr nochmals spezieller macht.
You are among very few lucky ones who had the chance to see the datograph in real - congratulations and thanks for sharing!
Wonderfull
Thanks for sharing!
Whats the price on that and how many are made ?
Everything is mentioned in the video…
Kunstwerke für das Handgelenk… irre die Werke!
Die klotzen und kleckern nicht…
Had the opportunity for the blue dato....but it's a $30k premium to downgrade to white gold and a dial color change...beautiful watch but I just can't justify it 😑
I hear you… Thanks for sharing!
Hhmmmm.... Why did it jump from April 29 to May 1st!? I´m guessing it's a prototype and the month hand was set incorrectly?
No this was a handling issue from my side. Why? you must always fully release the push piece once you press it… apparently I was lazy and/or handling it in front of the camera with clothes caused what you see in the video … two days moved the same time…
Shame the tourby isn't shown in the front. Beautiful piece tho.
IMHO that’s not a shame at all… I very much prefer the decent way of wearing such a watch…
