A Different Glow

Back in December 1845, Ferdinand Adolph Lange started what would become a legacy of precision watchmaking that would define the Saxon region. Now, more than four generations have passed and A. Lange & Söhne celebrates its 175th anniversary without witnessing any deterioration in the strength of spirit in its watchmaking as well as its quality.

For this momentous occasion, A. Lange & Söhne has launched a truly special set of three limited-edition models within the 1815 watch family. After all, 1815 refers to Ferdinand Adolph Lange’s birth year and these watches, the 1815 Rattrapante Honeygold, the 1815 Thin Honeygold and the Tourbograph Perpetual Honeygold, all come in the manufacture's proprietary honey-gold cases as well as being tagged “Homage to F. A. Lange”.
