One of many most intriguing “evolutionary” watches from A. Lange & Sohne in 2011 is this Zeitwerk Striking Time. I call it an evolutionary piece as it builds on the original Zeitwerk by adding a striking mechanism. What that does it automatically sound a special chime on the hour and at each quarter hour mark. Basically the hammers seen on the front of your dial strike the gong that goes around the dial each fifteen minutes. Watches with hammers and gongs on the dial are very very rare – and that is perhaps one of the coolest features of this watch.
