Appropriately then, its latest birthday is a milestone the Glash\u00fctte-based brand is keen to mark, and sees the release of the limited-edition Datograph Handwerkskunst in celebration.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The original Datograph from 1999 was the first newly developed chronograph in the industry for many decades, and not just in Germany,\u2019 says director of product development Anthony de Haas of why the occasion is a momentous one. \u2018It is clear how important this watch was to us in the late 1990s. It ushered in a level of fine watchmaking that we hadn&#8217;t seen before and that still continues today.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>\u2018\u201cHandwerkskunst\u201d is German for \u201ccraftsmanship\u201d,\u2019 de Haas adds. So, the finishers and engravers create the decorative opulence our Handwerkskunst editions are known for with endless patience, ample experience, a keen eye, a steady hand, as well as the absolute commitment to perfect every single detail.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-231393 img-responsive img-center\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mancodestyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/kentrikh-1-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mancodestyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/kentrikh-1-3.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.mancodestyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/kentrikh-1-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mancodestyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/kentrikh-1-3-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.mancodestyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/kentrikh-1-3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mancodestyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/kentrikh-1-3-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-231399 img-responsive img-center\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mancodestyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/lange-datograph-handwerkskunst-movement-L951.8-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mancodestyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/lange-datograph-handwerkskunst-movement-L951.8-2.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.mancodestyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/lange-datograph-handwerkskunst-movement-L951.8-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mancodestyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/lange-datograph-handwerkskunst-movement-L951.8-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.mancodestyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/lange-datograph-handwerkskunst-movement-L951.8-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mancodestyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/lange-datograph-handwerkskunst-movement-L951.8-2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-231397 img-responsive img-center\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mancodestyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/lange-datograph-handwerkskunst-dial-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mancodestyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/lange-datograph-handwerkskunst-dial-2.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.mancodestyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/lange-datograph-handwerkskunst-dial-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mancodestyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/lange-datograph-handwerkskunst-dial-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.mancodestyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/lange-datograph-handwerkskunst-dial-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mancodestyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/lange-datograph-handwerkskunst-dial-2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-232414 img-responsive img-center\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mancodestyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/kentrikh-2-3-702x697-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"702\" height=\"697\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mancodestyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/kentrikh-2-3-702x697-1.jpg 702w, https:\/\/www.mancodestyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/kentrikh-2-3-702x697-1-300x298.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mancodestyle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/kentrikh-2-3-702x697-1-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 702px) 100vw, 702px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\" data-ogsc=\"rgb(0, 0, 0)\" data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"><strong><em>Photos by\u00a0<a id=\"OWAc704c09a-1c7c-f54a-1ded-e985f224fc1a\" class=\"x_OWAAutoLink\" href=\"http:\/\/www.alange-soehne.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\" data-linkindex=\"1\" data-ogsc=\"\">Alange-soehne.com<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/div>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\" data-ogsc=\"rgb(0, 0, 0)\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Upon its launch 25 years ago, the A Lange &amp; So\u0308hne Datograph watch set the standard in classic chronograph design and technique.
