A. Lange and Sohne 145.029F Zeitwerk Striking Time 18K White Gold Black Dial

The A. Lange and Sohne Zeitwerk Striking Time, reference 145.029F, stands as a pioneering example of technical wizardry and Saxon watchmaking ingenuity. Introduced circa 2017, this distinguished white gold model showcases a striking digital time display and a sonorous chiming complication—a signature difference that sets it apart from typical mechanical wristwatches. The L043.2 manual wind movement features a precisely orchestrated jumping numerals mechanism paired with a visible hammer-operated chiming system, allowing the passage of each quarter and full hour to be audibly marked. Ingeniously, the hammers and gongs are fully integrated and visible within the dial, underscoring this creation’s technical transparency. The Zeitwerk Striking Time is noted for requiring a larger 44.2mm case, crafted from white gold, to accommodate its sophisticated mechanism. This approach to acoustics and horological architecture cements its relevance for collectors seeking innovation without compromise. The deep black dial and matching black alligator strap reinforce its bold contemporary aesthetic. Lange’s exceptional movement finishing alongside the robust construction make this watch an aspirational milestone in modern striking timepieces, highly regarded among connoisseurs of both traditional and avant-garde designs.
