This year, A Lange & Sohne proudly releases the new-designed Grand Lange 1 “Luminous” watch. Why it has “Luminous” in the name? It is because it features hands and hour marker that grow brightly in the evening on the black dial. Made from solid silver, the dial sports excellent legibility even in the darkness thanks to the sufficient Superluminova application on the rhodiumed gold hands and markers. The 42mm case is crafted from white gold.
