After last week's presentation of the 1815 Thin Honeygold, I would like to introduce you to the 1815 Rattrapante Honeygold, which is also one of the three watches celebrating the 175th anniversary of the opening of Ferdinand Adolf Lange's first workshop i...  

Just one point I regret: The lack of choice between honey gold and another version in white metal ( gold or platinum ). Best, Nicolas

of an outstanding watch! Merci beaucoup dear Xavier 🙏😀
