New Release
Author jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) shares live photos from Watches and Wonders 2015, focusing on A. Lange & Söhne's novelties. While the anniversary 1815 in honey gold garnered significant attention, jrwong23 highlights the unexpected appeal of the Saxonia models with slate dials, offering a fresh perspective on the brand's new releases.
The A. Lange & Söhne 1815 reference 206.032, introduced in 1999, is a notable example of the brand's commitment to traditional watchmaking principles. This model is part of the 1815 collection, which pays homage to the birth year of Ferdinand Adolph Lange and emphasizes classic design elements such as Arabic numerals and blued hands, drawing inspiration from historical Lange pocket watches. It represents a more understated and purist aesthetic compared to some of the brand's more complex offerings, focusing on fundamental horological excellence.
This particular reference features an 18k rose gold case measuring 36mm in diameter and 7.5mm in thickness. It houses the manually wound L941.1 caliber, visible through a sapphire crystal case back. The movement provides a power reserve of 45 hours. The watch is fitted with a sapphire crystal on the front, protecting a solid silver dial. Water resistance is rated at 30 meters, suitable for everyday wear but not for immersion.
The 1815 206.032 appeals to collectors who appreciate classical proportions and a focus on fundamental watchmaking without excessive complications. Its smaller case size reflects a more traditional approach to men's wristwatches, making it a desirable piece for those seeking a discreet yet highly refined timepiece. The combination of rose gold and a silver dial offers a warm and legible presentation, consistent with the collection's historical inspirations.
than what we thought from the press-kit pictures: can you confirm a difference with rose gold references standard dials? Thanks again for the pics Robin, it seems to be a very nice Salon. Cheers, Mark
It definitely is a different dial with a grainy texture compared to the rose gold standard dials Another pic here which may look clearer Cheers Robin
I'm eager to see this one in Paris when available Cheers, Mark
it simply looks amazing, a very special watch!
Between the honey gold 1815 and your PT black dial 1815, I prefer yours! Cheers Robin
The dial looks creamier than the regular Argente dials.. And the grey dial saxonia looks nice.. Lange should totally do more grey dials
