Lange & Söhne Zeitwerk Striking Time reference 145.032 in 18k pink gold was introduced in 2011 and remained in production until approximately 2022. This reference is distinguished by its integration of an acoustic chiming mechanism with the digital jumping numerals display. The manual-wind caliber L043.2 features a constant-force escapement to manage the high energy requirements of the discs and hammers. The dial is crafted from solid silver with a rhodium-finished German silver time bridge, displaying two visible hammers that strike a low-pitched gong for the hour and a high-pitched gong for every quarter-hour. Collectors value this model as the brand’s first chiming wristwatch. On the secondary market, this reference typically trades in the $85,000 to $115,000 range. A notable production detail is the pusher at four o'clock, which allows the wearer to silence the chimes without interrupting the movement's timekeeping."}, "listing_stats": {"count": 0, "median": 0, "low": 0, "high": 0}, "listings": [], "auction_lots": [{"slug": "a-lange-s-hne-145-032-2024", "brand": "A.
