The ARKADE is crafted with passion in every sense of the word. Debuted in 1994, this unforgettable masterpiece was created as a monument en miniature of Ferdinand Adolph Lange’s lifelong love for Antonia Gutkaes. Its shape reflects the architecture of Dresden’s royal palace courtyard where Ferdinand Adolph and Antonia most likely met for the first time. In fact, it was her father, the famous court watchmaker, Johann Christian Friedrich Gutkaes, who was Lange’s mentor. The most fascinating feature of the ARKADE is the patented outsize date display of seemingly incredible proportions relative to the timepiece’s delicate size. Making this timepiece to one of the most sophisticated creations ever to grace a woman’s wrist. #alangesoehne #arkade #unforgettablemasterpieces #timepieceperfection
