In 2015, A. Lange & Söhne is celebrating the 200th birthday of Ferdinand Adolph Lange. In his honour, the commemorative 1815 “200th Anniversary F. A. Lange” edition in platinum with a black dial was launched last February. Now, with the introduction of a second version, A. Lange & Söhne pays tribute to the founder of Saxon precision watchmaking yet again – with another exceptional timepiece. Its characteristic features: a dial with a special surface finish and a case crafted from an innovative gold alloy.

The solid-silver dial of the new 1815 “200th Anniversary F. A. Lange” is endowed with a finely textured argenté-grainé surface. With this artisanal decoration, reminiscent of the silvery dials of historic observation watches and marine chronometers, the Saxon manufactory showcases a rare and traditional finishing technique.
