ZEITWERK

Devoted to mechanical ingenuity

The ZEITWERK is the first mechanical wristwatch that displays the time digitally with jumping numerals that allow unambiguous legibility at all times. In addition to a tens- and a units-minute disc, the jumping numerals mechanism is endowed with a large hour ring that spans almost the entire diameter of the movement. All numerals are identical in size and arranged for natural left-to-right reading.

Digital Display with a Mechanical Heart

When we developed the ZEITWERK, we questioned everything – except for the mechanical heart. The result is a digital-display watch with a jumping numerals mechanism. Its most salient design feature is the time bridge. Framing the displays of hours, minutes and seconds, it is a component of the movement that penetrates the dial in this place.

Constant power

The Constant-Force Escapement

The purpose of a constant-force escapement in a mechanical watch is to provide the escapement with a consistent flow of power, regardless of whether the watch is fully wound or nearly unwound. But the multitalented device boasts other functions involving jumping displays.

The new era of the mechanical watch

The ZEITWERK watch family

When they developed the ZEITWERK, Lange’s engineers questioned everything – except the mechanical paradigm. The result is a digital-display watch that no doubt ranks among the most progressive timepieces of our epoch. Its trailblazing concept with mechanically driven, precisely jumping numerals is unparalleled in watchmaking and appeals even to individuals who could not imagine that they would ever wear a digital timepiece.

ZEITWERK HANDWERKSKUNST

Engineering prowess with artisanal perfection

The lining burin resembles a flat burin, but its cutting edge has sharp teeth. To execute the tremblage on the dial of the ZEITWERK HANDWERKSKUNST presented in 2012, the engraver manually guides the custom-crafted lining burin across the black-rhodiumed white gold in different directions. The lavish finissage underscores the technical sophistication of the digital jumping numerals display.
