Catalogue Essay
1815 marks the birth year of Ferdinand Adolph Lange, the legendary founder of A. Lange & Söhne. The 1815 collection pays tribute to the brand’s tradition and their dedication to technical excellence in fine watchmaking. Heralded as an epitome of simplicity and elegance, this reference 206.025 is a classic gem adored by watch collectors. Featured with the DNA of the 1815 family, the dial of the watch is embellished by the signature railway track chapter ring with the 3 dots at the quarter hour markers, and Arabic numerals, also found on the very first Tourbillon Pour le Mérite released in Dresden during the A. Lange & Söhne’s Great Revival in 1994.
The most eye-catching feature of the watch must be the blued hands. It is phenomenal to see them move across the stunning silver dial and sweep past the small seconds dial decorated with subtle azurage finish. As you flip the watch over, you will find that the back of this minimalistic watch has a lustrious hidden sight. The transparent case back of the watch reveals the captivating Lange movement L941.1, with the three-quarter plate beautifully chamfered and delicately decorated with Glashütte stripes, gold chatons, blued screws, red rubies, and exquisite engravings. This is further enhanced by the uniquely hand-engraved balance-cork with the classic Lange floral patterns. Complete with its original guarantee and presentation box, this is the perfect dress watch for the modern-day connoisseur.

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.
