The present 18 karat white gold 1815 Chronograph, from the first generation produced between 2004 and 2008, is a wonderful representation of the goals set forward by Walter Lange. The watch combines traditional watchmaking with 21st century engineering with the caliber 951, their renowned chronograph movement first used introduced in 1999 in their Datograph model. The flyback mechanism allows the hands to zero reset for immediate new measurements.
The dial has incredible dimensionality, with the pulsation scale, hour track, and inner dial all on slightly different levels. While the subdials feature a guilloche pattern, the smoothly opaline dial glistens like freshly powdered snow. Within the warmth of a white gold case, well-proportioned at 39.5mm diameter, it feels comfortable yet substantial like the watch of substance that it is. Furthermore, it is accompanied with its original paperwork and presentation box.
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.
