Specialist note
The 1815 line takes inspiration from the design of the pocketwatches made by Ferdinand A. Lange and features hand-wound movements made in the finest Glashütte tradition. The dials, just like the pocket watches, and feature the characteristic railway minute track and Arabic numerals.
The present example is from the third series (launched in 2014) and features a case size that was reduced to 38.5 mm from the 40 mm seen on the second series models. It also featured a stepped bezel but is powered by the same manual-winding Cal. L.051.1.
A. Lange & Söhne has impressed connoisseurs since their return to the watchmaking fold in the 1990s and with watches like this 1815, it's easy to see why. Modern in size and extremely wearable, this is a future classic from the German watchmaker.
