A. Lange & Sohne Zeitwerk Watch, round 18kt rose gold case (41.9mm diameter, 12.6mm thickness) with see-through sapphire crystal caseback, brown crocodile leather strap with rose gold tang buckle, silver dial with rose gold hands, large hour and minutes window at 9 and 3 o'clock, innovative jumping numerals mechanism, constant-force escapement for switching step generation and controlled torque delivery, power reserve indicator at 12 o'clock, small seconds sub-dial at 6 o'clock, #L043.1 Caliber manual-winding mechanical movement with 36 hour power reserve, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, water-resistant to 30 meters.
One small step for a watch, but a giant leap for horology: thanks to the innovative jumping numerals mechanism, the Lange Zeitwerk displays the hours and minutes in a larger-than-ever format to assure perfect legibility. Thus, the watch probably constitutes the first truly mechanical alternative to the indication of time with rotating hands.
