White gold for the Lange Zeitwerk Minute Repeater

Previously available only in platinum, the Zeitwerk Minute Repeater is now offered in a limited edition of 30 in white gold with a deep blue dial. The chime reproduces ten-minute intervals with double chimes instead of every quarter of an hour and logically complements the digital representation of the time. To develop the striking mechanism, which is activated by a complex push-button mechanism instead of the usual lever, Lange's designers made use of the basic principle of the exact jumping numerals mechanism, in which time is represented by an hour ring and two minute discs. This configuration makes it possible to scan the number of beats - separately for hours, ten-minute intervals and minutes - directly on the steps combined with the display mechanism. The larger scanning surfaces also increase the reliability of the chime. Thus, the time displayed and the time struck always coincide. The watch is equipped with the IWC-manufactured L043.5 calibre, consisting of 771 elements and hand-finished. Three of the 93 rubies are set in screwed gold bezels. The hand-engraved balance bridge - the signature craftsmanship of all Lange watches - is flanked by an escapement bridge engraved with the same motif. The Zeitwerk Minute Repeater is available exclusively in the 33 A. Lange & Söhne boutiques.
