A. Lange & Söhne

Early Lange & Söhne antimagnetic pocket watch info sought.

 

 .



Hello fellow purist 


I have a new pocketwatch which I think is an A1 anker chronometer 


My question is about the dial and spefically the red writing  anti- magnetisch on the dial . 


I have searched in the watch catalogus of auction houses and online . 


I found that L&S made anti magnetic pocket watches but not one has the writing on the dial. Also I cannot find further information on L&S and anti magnetism. 


Also it has the anti magnetic features of paladium balance wheel and lever. 


Is there a significance to the mention of anti magnetisch  ? 


And like milgauss why is antimagnetic always written in red?



I think it is important because vacheron claimed to have the first truly anti magnetic pocket watch .


This Lange & Söhne is dated late 1910...


Thanks in advance.

to ask Mr. Reichel from German Watch Museum in Glashütte for a Certificate. He is a very helpful expert and should be able to answer your questions. For me the minute and seconds hand looks bent and the balance spring has the same blue color as the normal...

Your watch Nr. 60721 in 1A quality was sold in 1908 for 470 RM At that time you could order "antimagnetische Balance und Spirale" for just 40.- RM (in 1908-1911) But honestly I never saw before script Antimagnetisch on the dial... With best regards, Serge... 

Cannot see it properly,
