Lange & Söhne Garantie dated 29 July 2011, product literature, leather wallet, fitted presentation box and outer packaging..The present watch is number 54 of a limited edition of 100 examples only..With a crystal clear indication of hours and minutes, the Zeitwerk is A. Lange & Söhne 's very first mechanical wristwatch with a digital time display format using jumping numerals for a precise reading. At the centre of the display, the time bridge that is part of the movement, is also the frame for all time indications..In the Zeitwerk Luminous model, the difficulty was to allow enough daylight to charge the numerals for the night display. Indeed, contrary to classic time display through hands, the jumping hours and minutes system are mostly hidden underneath the dial. A solution was brought through the use of a transparent dial..For another example of the Zeitwerk, please see Lot 2283A in this sale.
