A masterpiece of classical design and uncompromising craftsmanship, the A. Lange & Söhne Richard Lange (Ref. 232.026 / LS2323A.L) exemplifies the brand’s dedication to technical excellence and aesthetic restraint. Released in 2013, this 40mm time-only marvel draws inspiration from 19th-century scientific observation watches—purpose-built for legibility and precision.
Housed in solid 18K white gold, the case is flawlessly finished with alternating polished and brushed surfaces, giving it a refined yet understated presence on the wrist. The pristine solid silver dial is pure elegance, featuring elongated Roman numerals, a railway minute track, and blued steel hands—all contributing to exceptional legibility and timeless appeal.
Beating inside is the exquisitely finished L041.2 manual-winding movement, visible through the sapphire caseback. Meticulously hand-decorated in Glashütte tradition, the movement boasts a German silver three-quarter plate, hand-engraved balance cock, and a robust 38-hour power reserve—a true showcase of Lange’s artisanal prowess.
Finished with a hand-stitched black alligator leather strap and a matching white gold pin buckle, the Richard Lange is a celebration of precision timekeeping for the purest of horological connoisseurs.
