Description

For your consideration is this A. Lange & Söhne 1815 Chronograph, an extremely rare, technically superb and visually stunning timepiece from Germany’s premier watchmaking brand.

The black dial with contrasting white accents is crafted from solid silver. Though simple at first glance, the dial is multi-layered and features differing finishes at each level, making for captivating viewing when seen in person.

Powering the watch is the ALS manual-wind calibre L951.5. As with all Lange movements, the calibre L951.5 is a masterpiece of engineering and is crafted from German silver. With over 306 parts, the movement features 40 jewels, a 60-hour power reserve and column-wheel operated flyback chronograph, which allows you to hit the bottom pusher <i>while the chronograph is running</i> to reset the lap (an extremely complex and seldom seen watchmaking complication).

But of course, what makes Lange so special is that they are one of the few brands that put just as much effort into the visual aspect of the watch both back and front. The German silver movement is finished using various techniques, displaying Côtes ge Genève on the upper bridges, perlage on the lower plates, the bridge chamfers are hand-finished using the anglage technique, the levers and actuators are straight-grained, gears are circular grained and last but not least, the balance cock is hand-engraved with its own individualistic pattern. Phew! To top it off,  each of the upper jewels are housed in their own individual solid gold chatons and the bridge screws are all flame-blued.

It’s all housed in a 39.5mm rose-gold case that sits comfortably on any wrist, and with a thickness of just 11mm the watch will easily slide under any dress cuff.

The watch is fitted on a brand-new, unworn black alligator leather strap

The watch retails for just under AUD $100,000 and is now almost impossible to buy through the boutique. Yes, as with Rolex and Patek Philippe, A. Lange & Söhne watches are now totally sold out around the world and potential buyers face years-long queues. As such, we are very pleased to offer such a special and highly collectable timepiece for sale.
