Lange & Soéhne`s Little Lange & Grande Lange

Founded in the mid-19th century, Lange & Soéhne have become a name synonymous with chic Swiss watch design and production. Their two new styles are no exception.

The first is the Little Lange 1 `Soirée` (£26,800). There are two styles of this ladies watch, both of which are limited edition and both come with a metallic-silver crocodile or aquamarine ray leather strap and are adorned with 63 sparkling diamonds.

Each one is a composition of 18-carat white gold, mother of pearl and, for the first time, have diamonds on the lugs and the dial. Not only are they the most gorgeous watches, but A. Lange & Soéhne`s position at the pinnacle of the watchmaking world means that they are collectors` items and therefore have great investment potential.

The second is the Grand Lange 1 (£16,300), which has been re-launched with a new face. It is an enlarged version of A. Lange & Soéhne`s very first wristwatch – the Lange 1 – and is available in yellow gold, pink gold and platinum with matching monochrome solid-silver dials in champagne, argenté and rhodié. This is traditionally a man`s watch but its elegance means that it also ties in with a growing trend for women to wear complicated men`s watches.
