The exceptional A. Lange & Söhne 1815 Chronograph in 18-carat white gold, a 2017 production example of modern horological artistry.
The Ref. 414.028 showcases an extraordinarily well-constructed 18-carat white gold case, as one would expect from a brand like A. Lange & Söhne. The contemporary-sized 39.5mm case is constructed with three distinct sections, each featuring its own finishing. The mid-case and caseback boasts a satin brushed texture, while the bezel is meticulously mirror-polished.
The dial of this timepiece possesses an indescribable subtle-yet-striking quality. Its monochromatic appearance exudes sophistication and modernity, beautifully accentuating the intricate details. On the dial, you’ll find a pulsometer scale at its periphery, followed by a set of elegant Arabic numerals, a small-seconds sub-dial on the left, as well as a 30-minute counter on the right. The final touch is the use of white gold hands here, adding an elegant finishing flourish to the Ref. 414.028’s clean and well-spaced-out dial.
Driven by the manufacture’s legendary manually-wound Calibre L951.5, this movement is a visual spectacle through the sapphire case back, complete with a column wheel, chronograph bridge engraving, and a precise jumping minute counter. The watch is presented on its original black alligator leather strap, secured by a signed 18-carat white gold tang buckle. This represents a rare opportunity to acquire a modern classic from the German master.
