Easily one of the most complex chronographs to date, the A Lange & Söhne Triple Split sets a new benchmark for chronographs; it is the world's first triple-rattrapante chronograph capable of tracking comparative time measurements in multiple increments for up to 12 hours. The 567-part in-house movement, caliber L132.1, was several years in the making, and is the long-awaited sequel to the iconic 2004 Double Split. There are 10 hands on the watch, including three rattrapante hands for the seconds, minutes and hour totalizers. All hands are color coded so that when split-seconds timing is activated, all functions are easy to read. A major challenge for the master watchmakers was enabling the three hand-pairs to operate in unison collectively, or separately on their own. This required a host of new parts and development of a patented disengagement mechanism that ensures accuracy of both chronograph and rattrapante tracking. Just 100 pieces will be made.

A Lange & Söhne showcases the supreme of German horology. Originally founded in 1845, the watchmaker persevered through Soviet nationalization, its trademark resurfacing in 1990 when it was realized and re-registered by Walter Lange. Early patrons and owners of its timepieces reflect the high regard in which the brand is held, having been worn by men of great prominence including the German Emperor Wilhelm II and Alexander II of Russia.Some of its most famous collections include the Lange 1 and Zeitwerk lines which assure the most intricate of assembly and finishing techniques, as well as carry the brand's distinctive outsize date which is three times the scope as those in watches of comparable dimensions. Recently sprung from the Zeitwerk family is the Minute Repeater piece which, melodically keeping time, is the first mechanical wristwatch to possess a jumping numeral display and decimal minute recurrence. The intricate ticking sounding from this timepiece mirrors the complexity of the watch itself, which is fashioned from 191 individually hand-finished fragments.
