About the Movement

L132.1 movement

The L132.1 is the most complex movement A. Lange & Söhne has built for a production watch — a hand-wound rattrapante chronograph with split-time capability in hours, minutes, and seconds simultaneously. This means three separate rattrapante hands can be stopped, compared, and rejoined independently, a mechanical achievement that required developing an entirely new movement architecture from the earlier Double Split. The calibre contains 567 parts in a diameter of 30.6mm and a height of 9.4mm — a density of engineering that required years of development. The power-reserve indicator has been repositioned relative to earlier rattrapante movements to provide more display space for the hour rattrapante counter, a detail that reflects the depth of design work required.

About the Family

The Saxonia family takes its name from the German state of Saxony, home to Glashütte and the Saxon watchmaking tradition. It is A. Lange & Söhne’s most versatile family — spanning dress watches of extreme thinness like the Saxonia Thin, complex chronographs like the Datograph, and sophisticated complications including the Annual Calendar and Double Split rattrapante. What unifies the family is a commitment to restraint in design: clean dials, precise proportions, and finishing that rewards examination under magnification rather than impressing at first glance. The Saxonia represents the breadth of what A. Lange & Söhne can do when not constrained by a single complication or design brief.

About this reference

The Triple Split is among the most mechanically complex watches A. Lange & Söhne has produced — a rattrapante chronograph capable of measuring elapsed times in hours, minutes, and seconds simultaneously with split-time capability in all three registers. The L132.1 calibre contains 567 parts in a movement 30.6mm in diameter and 9.4mm tall, representing years of engineering development from the earlier Double Split. Limited to 100 pieces in pink gold with a distinctive blue dial, the Triple Split is a watch for collectors who understand that the rattrapante complication at the hour and minute level — not just seconds — represents an entirely different order of mechanical ambition.
