A. Lange & Söhne's new Triple Split is the only split-seconds chronograph that splits hours, minutes and seconds at once

A. Lange & Söhne has unveiled a platinum edition of its Triple Split chronograph, limited to 100 pieces, at the Concours of Elegance at Hampton Court Palace. It is the third version of the watch since its 2018 launch, following a white gold model that year and a pink gold edition in 2021.

The Triple Split remains the only split-seconds chronograph able to measure intermediate and comparative times in hours, minutes and seconds simultaneously, up to 12 hours. The new platinum case measures 43.2mm across and 15.6mm thick, with a 925 silver dial in a rhodium tone and contrasting grey subdials. Its rattrapante hands are blued steel, with red accents on the counters and power-reserve display.

Three pushers control the watch: one at 2 o'clock to start and stop the chronograph, one at 4 o'clock for the flyback function, and one at 10 o'clock to operate the split-seconds mechanism. Inside sits the manual-wind calibre L132.1, made of 567 components, running at 21,600vph with a 55-hour power reserve. The watch comes on a hand-stitched alligator strap with a platinum deployant buckle. Pricing is on request.

Two smaller 1815 Up/Down editions

Lange also introduced two new versions of its 1815 Up/Down, downsized to 37.5mm, in white gold and pink gold, each with a blue dial. Each version is limited to 300 pieces, three times the run of the Triple Split.

The releases extend two of the Saxon manufacture's longest-running families rather than introduce new ones, keeping the brand's Glashütte case language and hand-finished movement work intact. A. Lange & Söhne has not disclosed pricing for either the Triple Split or the 1815 Up/Down editions, so buyers will need to contact the manufacture or its boutiques directly.
