While other manufactures dole out timepieces in abundance, A. Lange & Söhne unveils a trifecta of watches—each radically distinct yet carries that unmistakable A. Lange & Söhne spirit. Holding these pieces at their booth in Watches and Wonders 2025, felt like an occasion. We begin with the ODYSSEUS model, now in honey gold. A.
