A. Lange & Söhne 2025 Releases

At Watches & Wonders Geneva 2025, A. Lange & Söhne released four new models: a jaw-dropping Minute Repeater Perpetual flagship model, the first Odysseus on a solid gold bracelet, and a new smaller (34mm) 1815 model in two metals. And two more classy models were released in early September. Lange has been gaining steam among hardcore watch collectors for their ridiculously exquisite finishing, especially in the past decade, and it’s easy to see why. Let’s get right into these A. Lange & Söhne 2025 Releases.

Saxonia Thin Onyx

The dressy Saxonia Thin line debuted in 2011 and was most recently refreshed in 2016. In October 2025, A. Lange & Sohne released two versions with onyx dials–one in Honeygold and one in platinum–each limited to 200 pieces.

The Saxonia Thin Onyx models have the same 40mm diameter, 6.2mm thickness, and calibre L093.1 movement as the standard Saxonia Thin models. And “Onyx” isn’t just a nickname for the black color of the dial; an actual piece of polished onyx stone was applied to a silver base. Their first onyx dial came among the 2024 A Lange & Söhne releases on a platinum Lange 1 model.

Whether you choose platinum or Honeygold–Lange’s proprietary gold alloy with a light yellow hue–the list price is the same: $47,900. Some collectors feel that Richemont (the luxury conglomerate who owns Cartier, A. Lange & Söhne, Jaeger-LeCoultre, IWC and numerous other watch brands) is starting to get out of touch with their pricing. After all, this is a manual-wind two-hand watch–about as simple as it gets. But MSRP aside, the Saxonia Thin Onyx looks outstanding.

Richard Lange Jumping Seconds with Salmon Dial

The Richard Lange Jumping Seconds first appeared at SIHH 2016 as the brand’s first wristwatch with a jumping seconds (deadbeat seconds or seconde morte) complication. While the previous three versions of the Richard Lange Jumping Seconds had black or silver dials, A. Lange & Sohne has released a white gold model with a pleasant salmon dial during Geneva Watch Days 2025. With three separate but overlapping subdials indicating the hours, minutes and seconds, it’s Lange’s take on a regulator watch.

Interestingly, Ferdinand Adolph Lange is credited with inventing the jumping seconds concept with a pocket watch that he made in 1867. While a jumping seconds hand may not look impressive, because it simply moves once per second like a cheap quartz watch would, the engineering to make that happen on a mechanical watch is substantial.

Like the 2016 version, the 2025 Richard Lange Jumping Seconds is equipped with a rementoire–a secondary energy source (spring) that winds and unwinds every second in order to effectively “even out” power delivery from the mainspring to the escapement regardless of power reserve level. Not all remontoire watches have jumping seconds, but Lange symbiotically uses the once-per-second release of their remontoire to directly power the seconds hand–voila, jumping seconds.

Also impressive is the convenient Zero-Reset function that automatically zeroes the seconds hand when the crown is pulled out. And the power reserve, which turns from red to white with under ten hours remaining, is very slyly and compactly placed in the overlap of the minute and hour subdials. Overall, the dial proportions work very well with the 39.9mm case. Limited to 100 pieces, expect to pay at least $60,000 for one of these.

1815 Tourbillon with Black Grand Feu Enamel Dial

Another A. Lange & Söhne model with their patented Zero-Reset mechanism is the 1815 Tourbillon, which debuted in 2014. It also has hacking seconds, an impressive feat for a tourbillon. New for 2025 is the third iteration of the 1815 Tourbillon, a platinum model with an exquisite 30-layer black Grand Feu enamel dial, limited to 50 pieces.

The dial plate is white gold, with all the markers and text written in relief. Expect a list price of about $240,000. You can pick up a used platinum 1815 Tourbillon for about half that, but it won’t have a Grand Feu enamel dial. All 1815 Tourbillons have the same impressively hand-finished manual-wind caliber L102.1 movement, with a visible three-quarter plate made of German silver as we’d expect to see from Lange.

2025 A. Lange & Söhne Minute Repeater Perpetual

All new for 2025, the A. Lange & Söhne Minute Repeater Perpetual combines two of ultra-high-end watchmaking’s defining complications: the perpetual calendar and the minute repeater. The multimillion-dollar Grand Complication from 2013 was previously the only Lange watch to have ever combined those. The Minute Repeater Perpetual, limited to 50 pieces, comes in a 40.5mm platinum case.

The new manual-wind L122.2 caliber, comprising 640 parts, features several technical refinements like a patented hammer blocker to prevent unwanted secondary strikes. Basically it reduces “echo” and allows for a clearer sound. Minute repeaters strike the hours, quarter-hours, and then minutes, so on most minute repeaters, when there are no quarter hours to strike (i.e. 0-14 minutes past the hour), there’s a slight pause between the hour chimes and the minute chimes. The “pause elimination” feature of the L122.2 allows the minutes to be chimed seamlessly following the hours.

Also, even though the lunar cycle lasts roughly 29.530588853 days, most moonphase watches effectively round the moonphase length to 29.5 days for the sake of mechanical simplicity. Those moonphases will be “off” by a day in less than 3 years, whereas the Minute Repeater Perpetual’s moon display theoretically won’t need adjustment for over 120 years.

The watch’s black enamel dial, crafted in-house, offers excellent legibility for its perpetual calendar functions. The big date feature, proudly displayed at the top of the dial, is the cherry on top. And despite the Minute Repeater Perpetual’s incredible complexity, its case is a downright reasonable 12.1mm thick. This watch makes it clear why Lange is one of the most expensive watch brands in the world.

Zeitwerk Date in Pink Gold

A. Lange & Söhne made serious waves in the luxury watch world in 2009 with the first Zeitwerk—a groundbreaking watch featuring a true digital display (meaning literal numerical digits, not electronics) powered by the innovative L043.1 caliber. The jumping hours and minutes are displayed horizontally across the dial. Impressively, every Zeitwerk features a remontoir d’egalité, or constant-force escapement, ensuring even power delivery regardless of the power reserve. Fast-forward to 2019, and Lange introduced the Zeitwerk Date, integrating a clever peripheral glass date ring: the date highlights in red, advancing mechanically at midnight, all driven by the upgraded L043.8 caliber and housed in a 44.2mm white gold case.

Now, the latest Zeitwerk Date ref. 148.033 is offered in a pink gold case, with the same slate dial color as the original white gold one. Featuring a 72-hour power reserve, independent pushers for the hour and date adjustments, and spectacular finishing, this 2025 A. Lange & Söhne Zeitwerk Date release will probably sell secondhand for only nominally less than its $132,000 list price.

Odysseus Honeygold

The 2025 A. Lange & Söhne Odysseus in Honeygold is the brand’s first sports watch with a full gold bracelet. The Odysseus is their only sports model, in fact, having debuted in 2019 on a steel bracelet. A white gold version on a strap (either rubber or leather) came the following year. The steel and white gold versions both sell for about $55,000 secondhand, while a limited titanium bracelet version from 2022 goes for twice that.

We named the Odysseus one of the best alternatives to the Rolex Day-Date because of its everyday wearability, good looks, and clear day-of-the-week display located at 9 o’clock. This 2025 Honeygold version is Lange’s most extravagant Odysseus yet, and its rich brown dial looks awesome. The big date at 3 o’clock balances the day nicely.

The Odysseus Honeygold (ref. 363.150) is limited to 100 pieces, and features a 40.5mm case with an integrated bracelet crafted from Honeygold. That’s Lange’s proprietary gold alloy, known for its unique warm hue and increased hardness compared to traditional gold alloys. Powered by the L155.1 Datomatic automatic movement, it offers a 50-hour power reserve and beats at 28,800 vph (8 beats per second). The steel Odysseus has been one of the brand’s hottest watches for years, but it looks like there’s a new top dog in the A. Lange & Söhne sports lineup now.

A. Lange & Söhne 1815: Now in 34mm for 2025

The 1815, arguably Lange’s “cleanest” and most straightforward lineup, is named for Ferdinand Adolph Lange‘s birth year. Launched in 1996 and offered with various complications over the years, the 1815 lineup had always ranged from 35.9mm to 43mm in diameter. For 2025, A. Lange & Söhne has released the most compact version yet, with a 34mm width and 6.4mm height, available in white gold (ref. 220.028) or pink gold (ref. 220.037).

For now, both versions feature a blue dial exclusively. Unlumed lance hands display the hours and minutes, with a seconds subdial at 6 o’clock. The white gold model comes on a matching blue leather strap while the pink gold model gets a reddish-brown one.

Inside is the new manually wound Calibre L152.1, which operates at 21,600 vph (6 beats per second) and offers an extended power reserve of 72 hours. As with the other 2025 A. Lange & Söhne releases, the movement is visible through a sapphire caseback.

“This movement represents the 75th calibre developed by the manufacture since its re-establishment, and includes a new in-house balance spring.”

A. Lange & Söhne

Only a handful of brands in the world can make their own balance springs; it probably helps Lange that they’re a Richemont brand. Richemont is also the company who owns IWC, Panerai, Roger Dubuis, and Vacheron Constantin. Let’s recap all the specs for these Lange 2025 models.

A. Lange & Söhne is essentially known for three types of watches: elegant dress watches, mindblowing complications, and their popular Odysseus. So it makes sense that the 2025 A. Lange & Söhne releases have included all three. As usual, they did not disappoint.
