Every 29.5306 days, a full moon moves across the Dresden skyline. Its surface of lunar rocks reflects a mere fraction of the sunlight that hits the earth after 1.28 light-seconds, which equals an average distance of 384.400 km. But what do we really know about our natural satellite? For generations, scientist, artists and watchmakers have observed the Moon, its impact on the earth, and its game of shadows. Join A. Lange & Söhne in taking an even closer look.

The exclusive mechanical timepieces by A. Lange & Söhne are crafted from precious materials with the utmost of artisanal skill and only in small editions. They are guardians of a horological culture that is handed down from generation to generation and that began in 1845, when Ferdinand A. Lange founded his watch manufactory in Glashütte, Sachsen. After the German Reunification, his great-grandson Walter Lange re-founded the manufactory that had been expropriated in 1948. In 1990, he re-founded the manufactory after its expropriation in in late 1940s. Ferdinand A. Lange’s ambition to define benchmarks with timepieces of the manufactory is still reflected in every single Lange watch.
