The art of watchmaking

For several generations, the watchmakers of A. Lange & Söhne have pursued one goal: to craft timepieces that represent the pinnacle of international watchmaking artistry. At its Glashütte manufacture, the Maison crafts only a few thousand wristwatches per year, each endowed exclusively with proprietary movements that are lavishly decorated and twice assembled by hand. With 73 manufacture calibres developed since 1990, Lange has secured a top-tier position among the world’s finest watch Maisons.

  • Contemporary Interpretation.

The traditional design of the 1815 featuring the characteristic railway-track minute scale is reminiscent of historic A. Lange & Söhne pocket watches. It is enhanced with contemporary facets: a blue dial and an increased power reserve of 72 hours. Now, the watch can be taken off for a whole weekend without it stopping.

  • The 75th Manufacture Calibre.

The aesthetics of the newly developed manufacture calibre L152.1 are typified by characteristic design forms and traditional movement decorations that can be admired through the sapphire-crystal caseback. 

They include, in particular, the hand-engraved balance cock and the three-quarter plate which was introduced in 1864 by Ferdinand Adolph Lange. The prominent movement part is decorated with Glashütte ribbing. The four screwed gold chatons, the bearing jewels and the securing thermally blued screws provide colourful accents.

The manually wound movement of the new 1815 is the 75th calibre since the re-establishment of the manufacture. 

In addition, a new oscillation system with a freely oscillating balance spring and a large screw balance crafted in-house assure supreme precision across the entire power reserve of 72 hours.
