[GreenBoys]

Luxurywatch aficionados are no strangers to the exceptional craftsmanship that comes with opening an A. Lange & Söhne timepiece. However, their latest creation, the Datograph Handwerkskunst, is in a league of its own.

This new limited edition chronograph, released to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the iconic Datograph, showcases the pinnacle of artisanal excellence and technical innovation. But before you start checking your bank account, know this: you won’t be able to buy one – with only 25 units produced, this masterpiece is more elusive than 5G signal in the countryside.The watch features a striking black-rhodiumed dial adorned with tremblage engraving, a rare technique that creates a textured, three-dimensional surface. This intricate engraving requires an exceptional level of skill, ensuring that each piece is a unique work of art. The light-grey subdials and chamfered appliqués result in a super elegant watch.

Beyond its stunning dial, the Datograph Handwerkskunst houses the manufacture calibre L951.8, a manually wound movement. One of its standout features is the black-polishing of the chronograph levers, a technique that gives the levers a jet-black appearance from certain angles. This level of detail extends throughout the movement, with granular surfaces made from German silver that mirror the tremblage engraving on the dial.
