A. Lange & Söhne x Dutch designer Sabine Marcelis
A. Lange & Söhne has presented the new DATOGRAPH UP/DOWN “Lumen” – a watch that is not only a precise, little machine for measuring time but also an object with a visual presence and unlimited facets depending on the surrounding light. The launch at Solo House Office in Cretas, Spain, was accompanied by an interesting discussion between architectural and design experts about the links between timepieces, architecture, design and light.

To emphasize the special features of the new timepiece, Dutch designer Sabine Marcelis created a pyramidal-shaped structure that, while allowing to know the time of day, is sensitive to light. Located in the middle of Solo Office’s garden, the piece offers endless nuances and colors influenced by light and by the environment, which it is at the same time modified by them.

In the new master timepiece – the fourth model in the “Lumen” series, which A. Lange & Söhne launched in 2010 – the ingenious configuration reveals a new aesthetic dimension as soon as darkness sets in: a distinctive green hue that is particularly pleasant to the human eye. All indications, from the time and date to the chronograph function, glow in the dark. A special coating on the semi-transparent sapphire-crystal dial filters out most of the visible light but not that part of the UV spectrum which is needed to charge the luminous pigments with light energy. The darker the surroundings, the more clearly the display contrasts against the dark background. The chronograph – with a flyback function, a precisely jumping minute counter and a power-reserve indicator – comes in a limited edition of 200 watches.

After graduating from the Design Academy Eindhoven in 2011, Marcelis began working as an independent designer in the fields of product, installation and spatial design with a strong focus on materiality. Her work is characterised by pure forms which highlight material properties. Marcelis applies a strong aesthetic quality to her collaborations with industry specialists. This method of working allows her to intervene in the manufacturing process, using material research and experimentation to achieve new and surprising visual effects for projects both showcased in galleries and commissioned by commercial clients. She considers her designs to be true sensorial experiences and not simple static works.
The venue was designed by OFFICE Kersten Geers David Van Severen.
