A. Lange & Söhne "30 Years of the Lange 1" Exhibition in Singapore

10 October 2024

The renowned German watchmaker will mark the 30th anniversary of the LANGE 1 with a special exhibition at ION Atrium in Singapore from 24 to 29 October 2024, showcasing distinctive models and live craftsmanship demonstrations.

A. Lange & Söhne announces a special exhibition to mark the 30th anniversary of the LANGE 1, one of the most distinctive timepieces in the world of fine watchmaking.

Titled “30 Years of the LANGE 1”, the exhibition will take place at ION Atrium in Singapore from 24 to 29 October, offering visitors an exclusive opportunity to explore the rich history of this timeless model and the brand’s dedication to precision and innovation.

The history of the LANGE 1

First introduced in 1994, the LANGE 1 was part of A. Lange & Söhne’s first collection after the revival of the Saxon brand, which had been dormant for over 40 years. The watch immediately set itself apart with its distinctive asymmetrical dial and outsize date display, a bold departure from conventional design at the time. 

The LANGE 1 family has since become synonymous with the brand’s pursuit of horological excellence and has been a cornerstone of the A. Lange & Söhne collection for three decades.

“The LANGE 1 is more than just a watch – right down to the last detail, it symbolises our unwavering pursuit of precision, innovation, and timeless design. For 30 years, it has been the heart of our brand, continuously inspiring us to push the boundaries of horological excellence. We are honoured to celebrate this milestone in Singapore, a city with a strong community of connoisseurs who deeply appreciate the art of fine craftsmanship and design,” says Wilhelm Schmid, CEO of A. Lange & Söhne.

A special collection on display

At the exhibition, visitors will be able to admire an exclusive collection of LANGE 1 creations, showcasing key references that have defined the evolution of this model.

Some of the highlighted pieces are:

The original LANGE 1 from the first collection introduced in 1994, was pivotal in re-establishing the brand and is a testament to how the design code of the LANGE 1 family has not wavered over the last three decades.

Another key timepiece on display is the LANGE 1 “Luminous” in white gold, boasting a black dial with luminous markers and offering a modern, assertive take on the LANGE 1’s design.

In addition, the exhibition will also showcase the complete LANGE 1 “25th Anniversary” series, consisting of 10 models that were introduced as limited editions in 2019. Each of these watches is crafted in white gold and with blue accents, highlighting A. Lange & Söhne’s commitment to artistry and innovation.

Among these, the LANGE 1 “25th Anniversary” model stands out with a hand-engraved hinged cuvette. With its silver dial and blue details, it encapsulates the timeless elegance of the original design. The GRAND LANGE 1 Moonphase “25th Anniversary” features a moonphase complication, merging practical functionality with a celestial charm. Moreover, the LANGE 1 Tourbillon “25th Anniversary” offers a sophisticated tourbillon complication, adding an extra layer of precision to the distinctive design.

A showcase of craftsmanship

One of the highlights of the exhibition will be live demonstrations by a master engraver from the A. Lange & Söhne manufacture in Glashütte, Saxony. Guests will witness the rare art of hand engraving that goes into every timepiece, from the intricate detailing on the balance cocks to the decorative elements on case backs.

These demonstrations will offer visitors a glimpse into the meticulous craftsmanship that defines A. Lange & Söhne watches.


The engraving on the balance cock is the artisanal fingerprint that makes each Lange watch one-of-a-kind.

Not only does this celebratory exhibition offer an intimate look into the manufacture’s history, but it also showcases the innovation and artistry behind one of the brand’s most famous watches. Visitors will leave with a deeper appreciation for A. Lange & Söhne’s unwavering commitment to precision and elegance.
