There are many watches with beautiful movements, but the Datograph movement, in particular, is breathtakingly beautiful. Its structure, which seems to draw you in like a skyscraper, has earned it the title of the most beautiful chronograph in the world.

The Lange 1, a flagship model, incorporates the "1:1.618" golden ratio, which people unconsciously perceive as beautiful, into various elements such as the dial and the oversized date display.

A. Lange & Söhne is a top German watchmaking house founded in 1845 in Glashütte, Saxony, Germany, and revived in 1994 after German reunification. Alongside prestigious Swiss brands, it is considered one of the "world's top five watch brands," and its exquisite finishing, including movements made of German silver and hand-engraved balance bridges, which are considered works of art even on the reverse side, and its robust and practical design have captivated enthusiasts around the world.

The Lange 1, a flagship model released simultaneously with the brand's revival in 1994, is a prime example, characterized by its asymmetrical dial layout and large, oversized date display. Other highly popular models include the Datograph, considered one of the world's best chronographs, the elegant dress watch Saxonia, and the sporty Odysseus.

The Lange 1, with its asymmetrical design based on the golden ratio and its oversized date display that allows you to read the date at a glance, is a watch that symbolizes the philosophy of A. Lange & Söhne. The Datograph is a hand-wound chronograph with a flyback function and an oversized date display, and is called "the world's best chronograph" for its beautifully finished movement. Both are classic models and tend to retain their value well in the pre-owned market.

Lange & Söhne is a rare fashion house with extremely limited production numbers, and its watches maintain high prices even in the pre-owned market. Classic models like the Lange 1 and Datograph, in particular, hold their value well, and some high-end models with complex mechanisms can fetch over 10 million yen. Due to their rarity and exceptional craftsmanship, they are highly valued collector's items with significant investment potential.

Yes. Lange has a very small annual production volume, and authorized dealers in Japan are limited, so it is difficult to obtain popular and limited edition models at authorized dealers. Yukizaki offers the advantage of being able to "immediately purchase" models that are difficult to obtain at authorized dealers or rare discontinued models at fair market prices.

Please rest assured. At Yukizaki, our own specialized workshop, "Yukizaki Lab," employs skilled watchmakers and appraisers who conduct multiple layers of authenticity checks, and only products that have been confirmed to be genuine are listed. The rarer and more expensive Lange watches require the expertise of appraisers, but with over 45 years of experience and a keen eye for appraisal, we guarantee that no counterfeit products will ever be included.

At Yukizaki, all pre-owned Lange watches undergo thorough cleaning and polishing of the exterior and inspection and adjustment of the movement by a professional watchmaker before sale. Only high-quality pieces that have passed a double check by the sales manager are handled. The condition of each item is clearly stated on the product page and can be checked in advance through photos and inquiries, so you can choose a pre-owned watch with confidence.

In the used market, items with complete accessories such as warranty cards and boxes are more valuable, and the presence or absence of a warranty card, in particular, affects future resale value. At Yukizaki, we offer items without accessories at a more affordable price, making them a great option if you intend to use the item for a long time. The presence or absence of accessories is clearly indicated on the product page.

The quality and performance of the watch itself are identical. The only difference is the distribution route: genuine products are sourced through official domestic channels, while parallel imports are legally sourced from authorized overseas retailers. Rest assured that even parallel imports will receive official service as long as they are genuine.

At Yukizaki, we offer a reliable warranty on both new and used items (coverage and duration vary depending on the product's condition). Natural malfunctions within the machine that occur under normal use are handled at our own specialized workshop, and we can also arrange for manufacturer repairs through our store counter. For detailed warranty regulations, please check the "Warranty Information" section in our purchase guide.

High-end mechanical watches are recommended to undergo an overhaul (disassembly and cleaning) every 3 to 5 years to maintain their accuracy and water resistance. Because Lange watches feature intricate and delicate movements, regular inspections by expert technicians are key to ensuring their longevity. With proper maintenance, they can be cherished for a lifetime and passed down through generations.

Lange's watches feature German silver base plates, hand-engraved balance bridges, tempered blued steel screws, and meticulous beveling (angulage), demonstrating an uncompromising level of craftsmanship even on the reverse side. The structural beauty visible through the see-through case back is described as "art even on the back of the movement," and, along with the robust and logically sound design characteristic of German watchmaking, provides a true joy of ownership.
