The ZEITWERK MINUTE REPEATER HONEYGOLD, an exceptional time-measuring instrument by A. Lange Söhne, symbolizes a marvelous fusion of technical sophistication and acoustic elegance. As a unique mechanical wristwatch, it integrates a jumping numerals display with a decimal minute repeater, setting it apart with its inimitable sound, character and presentation. Now offered in a limited edition of 30 watches, it features a case crafted from Lange-exclusive honey gold (HONEYGOLD®) which imparts a distinct, resonant sound quality to the watch. Each hour, ten-minute interval, and minute is sounded with precision at the press of a button, creating a seamless auditory and visual correlation. Its honey gold alloy case acts as a resonant body, enhancing the watch’s acoustic characteristics, giving it a rich and warm timbre, and a clear, reverberant sound.
Anthony de Haas and Tino Bobe from A. Lange Söhne elucidate that the sound quality of the watch, reminiscent of a musical instrument, is profoundly influenced by the material of the case, the meticulous tuning of the gongs, and the precision of the other components. The watch’s operating mechanism, marked by innovation and uniqueness, features a button mechanism for triggering the repeater, and it includes elaborate safety and blocking mechanisms to ensure flawless performance and to prevent interference during the striking sequences.
The manufacture calibre L043.5, at the heart of the ZEITWERK MINUTE REPEATER HONEYGOLD, is an intricate assembly of 771 parts, all delicately hand-finished, underscoring the brand’s commitment to exceptional craftsmanship and precision. The design subtly integrates functional components like the gongs and hammers into the aesthetic presentation, creating a visually and acoustically harmonized masterpiece. Offered exclusively in select A. Lange Söhne boutiques, this limited-edition timepiece in honey gold stands as a testament to the brand’s innovative spirit and mastery in watchmaking.
