A. Lange & Söhne made waves in 2019 when they unveiled their first sports watch, the Odysseus. This groundbreaking t.mes piece marked a departure for the manufacturer, introducing stainless steel and an integrated bracelet – a material and design choice that surprised both their loyal clientele and industry observers alike. Following this daring release, a year later saw the introduction of the current white gold model, featuring a dynamic rubber strap.
Crafted with the precision that characterizes any t.mes piece leaving their atelier, the dial boasts an intricate stellate embossing on the minute chapter and subdial. This texturing lends a subtle interplay with light, adding to the watch's allure. Both the exterior and interior of this watch exemplify tasteful execution. Turning it over, one can admire the hand-polished cal. L155.1 through the sapphire case back – a movement that marries technical prowess with aesthetic beauty.
