1815

In a larger case and with a new manually wound movement, the latest 1815 by A. Lange & Söhne embodies the paragon of simple, classic mechanical timepieces. With its graceful sleekness, it reflects the horological principles of company founder Ferdinand Adolph Lange. It salutes his proud legacy by taking his birth year as its name.

In the best sense of the term, the new 1815 is a classic three-hand watch with a manually wound movement. It presents itself as a visibly enlarged new edition of what was the fifth Lange model of the new era when it had its debut in 1995. The four digits of its name mark a turbulent year that ushered in a new epoch in Europe. They also stand for the birth year of a man who would much later establish a world-famous dynasty of watchmakers. His name: Ferdinand Adolph Lange.
