German manufacturer of prestige watches A. Lange & Söhne has had its grip on the watchmaking industry for a long time now and its legacy precedes it. So much so that it constantly showcases its novelties at the Swiss salon in Genève, also known as SIHH.

This time around, the House offered some surprises, revealing a watch that was so exclusive, it wasn’t even going to be sold anywhere! Indeed, the latter will be going on auction for charity, while another exclusive model was pegged as a limited boutique edition of 100 watches. Talk about exclusivity!

That said, we’ve rounded up the two novelties in the Photo Gallery below to give you a little insight on their constitution.
