1815 F A Lange 200th Anniversary
Ferdinand Adolph Lange was born in 1815 and after 200 years, A Lange & Sohne introduced a model to celebrate the legendary watchmaker's 200th Anniversary. As to be expected, 200 pieces of the limited edition was made in platinum. This came in a case dimension of 40 mm, somewhat bigger than the latest 1815 productions. Also, it featured a stepped bezel, instead of the usual rounded edges.
The watch feels very solid and durable on the wrist and uses the manual winding L051.1 caliber that generates a power reserve of 55 hours. After the watch was introduced in February 2015, a honey gold version - also in 200 pieces - was launched later that year at the Watches and Wonders Exhibition, this time with a white dial. Both versions were quickly sold out.
This simple, elegant, subtle and exceptionally finished watch had turned out to be the perfect tribute to someone who created some of the most astonishing timepieces in the wonderful world of horology.

Super nice version of the 1815.
Is it heavy on the wrist? What do you think of the 40mm size?
Beautiful piece Sam!
I wish they had also made it in 38 or 38.5mm. Here is my incoming in a smaller 38mm case The 1815 ultra thin honey gold ...
I would imagine Sam
that you would usually be the first to receive any limited edition!
I was toying with the idea of a 37mm Saxonia thin
but have always preferred the arabic numerals of the 1815 so decided to go for this as I doubt 1815s will be made in a smaller size like they used to be a decade ago.
I actually like the 40mm 1815. I find the 38.5 mm version too big for me!
But this piece really is super cool. What a nice watch!
You have a beautiful collection of Lange watches.
And the photos are first class. Thank you for sharing all the eye candy. Kindest regards,
Thanks Nico
This is the half way mark of my latest posts...next week I will post some independents
LOL but don't hold your breath
My friend is an artist, so does things meticulously and slowly
Beautiful. I always loved the 40mm 1815...
This is one of the best watches Lange makes!
It's spectacular in a subtle sort of way...
It's a big generous watch. Some Lange pieces are too thick. This one isn't too thick. This one is just right. I personally wished I had bought the 1815 in 40mm in white gold with the blued hands. Each time I see Jocke's photos, I wished I had gotten it!
