The A. Lange & Söhne Zeitwerk Date Gets an Elegant Update in Pink Gold
A. Lange & Söhneunveils a new iteration of theZeitwerk Date, now presented in warm pink gold paired with a refined gray dial—a first for the collection. Originally launched in 2009, the Zeitwerk disrupted traditional watchmaking with its precisely switching jumping numerals mechanism. The 2019 addition of a ring-shaped date display – now rendered in printed glass – adds a dynamic layer of functionality, with a red marker that advances at midnight to indicate the current date.
This latest model retains the Zeitwerk's signature time bridge in German silver, elegantly framing the hour and minute apertures along the dial's central axis. The patented jumping numerals mechanism performs 1,440 switches per day, powered by a constant-force escapement that ensures consistent energy delivery. Both the hour and date displays can be independently adjusted via pushers at 4 and 8 o'clock, with each switching impulse triggered upon release. At midnight, the watch performs a captivating mechanical ballet as all three numeral discs and the date ring advance in unison.
Inside the 44.2 mm pink gold case beats the manually wound L043.8 caliber, composed of 516 parts and offering a 72-hour power reserve. Visible through the sapphire-crystal caseback, the movement showcases artisanal finishes such as solarized ratchet wheels.

Big banks are now in Trump's crosshairs
President Trump is planning an executive order that would punish banks if they are believed to be discriminating against political conservatives. Why it matters: The president has previously targeted law firms and media companies, but with banks — one of the most heavily regulated industries — the administration has a number of levers it can pull to apply pressure. Driving the news: Appearing on CNBC Tuesday morning, Trump seemed to give a nod to a Wall Street Journal report that the White House is preparing an executive order directing regulators to penalize any bank found to have dropped a client on political grounds. The president accused both JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America of discrimination, by refusing to take his personal business. The big picture: A number of conservatives and crypto executives have claimed for years that they were "debanked" for political reasons, and the Senate Banking Committee held a hearing on some of those claims in February. Both JPMorgan and Bank of America have said that political reasons are not a factor in their customer decisions. "We don't close accounts for political reasons, and we agree with President Trump that regulatory change is desperately needed," a JPMorgan spokesperson says. "We're pleased to see the White House is addressing this issue, for which we've been advocating for many years, and look forward to working with them to get this right." The banking industry has also pointed to anti-money-laundering and reputational risk regulation as possible factors in restricting access. Bank regulators, however, have recently dropped reputational risk as part of their scrutiny. The intrigue: For the president, the political is clearly personal. On CNBC, Trump said of JPMorgan: " I had many, many accounts loaded up with cash. I was loaded up with cash. And they told me, 'I'm sorry, sir, we can't have you. You have 20 days to get out.' I said, 'You got to be kidding. I've been with you for 35, 40 years.'" Reality check: Trump was a businessman before becoming a conservative politician. In a 2019 article about investigations into Deutsche Bank, The New York Times noted that in recent decades, the German bank "was the only mainstream financial institution consistently willing to do business with Mr. Trump, who had a history of defaulting on loans. " What to watch: If and when an executive order comes out (the WSJ cautions the administration's plans could change), it will indicate whether banks' regulatory burden becomes heavier or lighter under this administration.
