|Spring 2025
A. Lange & Söhne has spent the better part of this year celebrating the 25th anniversary of the seminal Datograph. With the Datograph Handwerkskunst, the watch is elevated to the highest level

You may have noticed an A. Lange & Söhne advertisement that asks a very odd question, “What will you never be able to offer someone who owns a Datograph?” to which the answer is a more exciting view.

In our conversation with CEO Wilhelm Schmid, we get into the two earlier releases celebrating the Datograph but we needed a space to complete the picture because A. Lange & Söhne has finally released - unleashed even - the 41mm yellow gold Datograph Handwerkskunst.
