Dial: solid silver, rhodié, jumping minute counter. A. Lange & Söhne’s ZEITWERK model was introduced on the market in 2009 – a fascinating combination of modern craftsmanship with traditional art and beauty. The watch features the distinctive "time bridge" with jumping hour and minute numerals – a design modelled on the famous Five-Minute Clock Johann Friedrich Gutkaes created for the Dresden Semper Opera House. Lange’s typical outsize date also draws its inspiration from Gutkaes’ concept. The jumping numerals mechanism of A. Lange & Söhne’s ZEITWERK always delivers a precise reading of time because the discs advance instantaneously rather than in the creep mode. It consists of two minute discs and a large hour ring that occupies the entire diameter of the movement. All numerals are identical in size and arranged for natural left-to-right reading. The constant-force escapement assures the steady flow of power to the balance and, every 60 seconds, the precise switching of the numerals. Case: very good. Dial: as new. Movm.: as new, capable of running, cleaning recommended.
