Introducing: The A. Lange & So?hne Langematik Perpetual Honey Gold

January 14, 2019

With an argent dial surrounded by warm gold and a dark brown crocodile strap, this 38.5mm Lange is a lovely limited expression of their classic perpetual calendar model. Produced using A.Lange & So?hne's own proprietary honey gold, the Langematik Perpetual Honey Gold is just 10.2mm thick, ensuring a comfortable and classic wrist presence for what is a logical and collectable edition of a core model within the Lange spectrum.?Housing Lange's incredible micro rotor-equipped L922.1 SAX-O-MAT movement, the Langematik Perpetual Honeygold offers a view of this gorgeous movement via a wide display caseback. Featuring Lange's Zero-Reset functionality for syncing with an external time source, the L922.1 is made of German steel and offers 46 hours of power reserve to support a full perpetual calendar alongside hours, minutes, and sub-seconds. The newly announced Langematik Perpetual Honeygold is limited to 100 pieces, each of which will retail for 85,000.? Initial Thoughts Who doesn't like Honey gold? Honey gold is only used for special models, and Lange's proprietary gold alloy is twice as hard as platinum and carries a uniquely warm color. As mentioned above, Lange does not break out the honey gold for just any watch and the use of the alloy is always limited and meant to be a nod to collectors and an interesting way of making their watches just a bit more special. From the 1815 Anniversary Of F.A. Lange to the excellent Lange 1 Time Zone (and of course the very special Honey Gold Lange 1, which you can see in Volume 3 of the HODINKEE Magazine), this custom gold carries a tone that lands between standard yellow or rose golds and, given its selective use, has proven to be very collectable.?
