A. Lange & Söhne 1815

The name "1815" of this timepiece collection from A. Lange & Söhne is based on the year of birth of Ferdinand Adolph Lange, the founder of the company. In 1845, he set out for the Saxon village of Glashütte and laid the foundation for German watchmaking. Thanks to his ambition and vision, the impoverished region experienced a major boom as the luxurious pocket watches from Saxony quickly attracted worldwide attention and became coveted investments in wealthy circles.

Classic in construction and design

Design-wise and mechanically, the 1815 is primarily characterized by tradition. Classic components make this watch family a showcase for Lange's watchmaking art. The 1815 timepieces come with hand-wound movement and pointer date, are harmoniously created and captivate with the time-honored quality of the finest pocket watches. The functional and aesthetic demands of the family business are high and are completely fulfilled here.

Marking a historical turning point

The most impressive design element of the 1815, however, is probably the rotating minute track in the "Chemin de fer" style. This makes the timepiece reminiscent of the era of the emerging railroad industry. This was a highly significant period for the watch industry, as it was precisely at this time that pocket watches became essential. Ferdinand Adolph Lange recognized this in time and took the courageous step of founding the manufactory in Glashütte, so that watch fans can now fortunately enjoy luxury watches like the 1815 from A. Lange & Söhne that are convincing all along the line.
