Beautifully finished, as would any timepiece leaving Lange’s workshop, a stellate embossing is applied to its minute chapter and subdial, creating a textured dial that plays coyly with light. Tastefully executed both inside and out, the sapphire case back invites its wearer to appreciate the hand-polished cal. L155.1, which is as technically sound as it is aesthetically pleasing.
Offered with “no reserve”, this is an exciting opportunity to obtain an unobtainable (at retail) wristwatch. It remains complete with original accessories, including an individually numbered polishing cloth.
A. Lange & Söhne
German | 1845Originally founded in 1845 by Ferdinand Adolph Lange in Glashütte, Dresden, Germany, the firm established an entire watchmaking culture and industry in Glashütte. The brand quickly became Germany's finest watchmaker, first creating dependable, easy-to-repair watches before going on to produce some of the world's finest complicated pocket watches, including Grande Sonnerie watches, tourbillon watches and Grande Complications.
On the final day of World War II, their factories were destroyed by Russian bombers, and in 1948 the brand was confiscated by the Soviet Union. Following the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1990, Ferdinand's great grandson Walter Lange re-established the brand with the objective to once again produce top-quality luxury watches. Now part of the Richemont Group, its original vintage and modern creations are highly coveted by collectors. Key models from the modern era include the Lange 1, Pour Le Mérite Tourbillon and the Zeitwerk.
