1815 Thin Honeygold "Homage to F. A. Lange"
Oct 23, 2020,20:21 PM
It arrived incredibly quickly.
The watch was launched to celebrate the 175th Anniversary of the birth of F. A. Lange and was unveiled (along with two other models) at the Watches & Wonders Exhibition in Shanghai from Sep 9 -13. As to be expected, all three models feature timepieces housed in honey-colored gold - an ALS proprietary metal that is exceedingly hard.
Because the two models share the same movement (L0931.1), the 1815 was often compared to the plainer time-only Saxonia Thin. Nevertheless, at 38 mm x 6.3 mm, the 1815 has more pleasing dimensions (Saxonia Thin is 37 x 5.9)
The watch is limited to 175 pieces.
Without further ado, here are some hastily taken smart phone photos:
Note the two-part fired enamel dial and Arabic indices.
The three-quarters plate has a frosted-grain finish, plus black-rhodium filing for the engraving on the balance cock, reminiscent of classic pocket watches. The watch is manually wound.
This is doubtlessly a dressy watch, as it will fit easily with any shirt cuffs.
Since this is my 15th Lange, I will show you an obligatory family portrait
Can you recognized all the models?
Have a nice weekend... I know I will surely have one.
