Catalogue Essay
- The A. Lange & Söhne 1815 collection is the perfect depiction of artisanal Saxon watchmaking. Initially introduced with a tourbillon mechanism, the model significantly differentiated itself from the other three watches that were launched together during the revival of the brand in 1994.
- The present 1815 Up Down is undoubtedly a quintessential A. Lange & Söhne design. Boasting an opaline dial with printed Arabic numerals, the movement's power reserve is positioned at 8 o'clock while the small hacking seconds preside at 4 o'clock. The result of this distinctive dial display is an aesthetically pleasing symmetrical design, inspired by a design patented by the company in 1879.
- Offered in excellent overall condition, this early 1815 Up Down from 2002 is further accompanied by its original accessories.

A. Lange & Söhne
German | 1845Originally founded in 1845 by Ferdinand Adolph Lange in Glashütte, Dresden, Germany, the firm established an entire watchmaking culture and industry in Glashütte. The brand quickly became Germany's finest watchmaker, first creating dependable, easy-to-repair watches before going on to produce some of the world's finest complicated pocket watches, including Grande Sonnerie watches, tourbillon watches and Grande Complications.
On the final day of World War II, their factories were destroyed by Russian bombers, and in 1948 the brand was confiscated by the Soviet Union. Following the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1990, Ferdinand's great grandson Walter Lange re-established the brand with the objective to once again produce top-quality luxury watches. Now part of the Richemont Group, its original vintage and modern creations are highly coveted by collectors. Key models from the modern era include the Lange 1, Pour Le Mérite Tourbillon and the Zeitwerk.
