Cover An afternoon of horological discoveries with A Lange & Söhne

In a toast to timeless craftsmanship, A Lange & Söhne and Tatler welcomed watch collectors to Raffles Sentosa for an exclusive event to unveil the new pink-gold Zeitwerk Date

In Singapore’s haute horological circles, few brands carry as much gravitas or whispered reverence as A Lange & Söhne. With over 175 years of heritage since its founding by Ferdinand Adolph Lange in Glashütte, Germany, the maison has become celebrated for ushering in precision standards that would define German watchmaking. 

Ask any seasoned collector and they will admit: A Lange & Söhne evokes a hush—rarely flaunted but always deeply appreciated. It’s seen not as a fashion statement, but as a personal manifesto of modern mastery.

Building on this legacy of excellence, Tatler GMT recently partnered with A Lange & Söhne to host an intimate showcase for twenty of Singapore’s most discerning watch connoisseurs, ranging from entrepreneurs to next-generation leaders. Staged at the Empire Grill at Raffles Sentosa, the event offered a refined yet relaxed setting for guests to to deepen their appreciation of the maison’s philosophy of craftsmanship and precision.

At the heart of the afternoon was a chronological showcase of Zeitwerk models from 2009 to 2025. Presented in sleek glass vitrines, the display offered guests a rare opportunity to admire and trace the evolution of the collection—from the original Zeitwerk and the technically ambitious Minute Repeater, to the Zeitwerk Date and the luminescent Zeitwerk Honeygold Lumen—through its groundbreaking complications and distinctive design codes.

Tatler GMT editor Annabel Tan gave a warm welcome address, before announcing a highlight of the afternoon: the unveiling of the new Zeitwerk Date in pink-gold with a grey dial—a striking reinterpretation of the brand’s pioneeringa lange and söhne price timepiece.

Not long after, it was time for guests to break into smaller groups for a hands-on session with the coveted timepieces. This was a rare opportunity to examine the watches up close—not just the Zeitwerk but other icons from the maison’s repertoire, including the Triple Split and Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon. A Lange & Söhn’s brand specialists were on hand to guide the guests through the details, from the finishing of the German silver plates to the artistry behind the Lange-style floral pattern engravings on the balance cocks.
