Ran into an 1815 Thin Honeygold. Ended well

The other day, I had a catch-up coffee with my AD. Except he had run out of coffee so we had tea. To compensate he brought out a trio of very nice watches.




I went in well dressed with the Jaeger-LeCoultre Amvox 2 - but left with another watch on my wrist.


The first one I picked up was the 1815 Thin Honeygold ‘Homage to F. A. Lange’. A model designed in celebration of 175 years of Lange production in Glashütte.



Next up a Patek Annual Calendar in steel on a steel bracelet. A pretty but very shiny watch.







I also got to try the more traditional white gold model on a leather strap. A beautiful watch with a classic look and a very well designed case.







I had not been planning on actually buying something but the combination of honeygold, the enamel dial, the special decorations on the movement won me over. This beauty went home with me.





The thinness of the movement has led to more wheels being visible than normal for a Lange watch.





The dial in enamel is matched by numbers and the classic 1815 railroad tracks in grey.









It makes for an interesting contrast to my 2nd generation 1815. I always found the original to be very simple and German in its look but Lange managed to make the design even simpler with the Thin.
