Description:

This is the A Lange & Sohne 1815 Up/Down reference 221.032. Founded by Adolf Lange in the German watchmaking town of Glashutte, Lange has a storied history. Post World War II, the company was actually nationalized, leading to their company’s disappearance from the late 1940s till 1989. Post the communists’ abandonment of a single party rule in Eastern Europe, Walter Lange managed to return to his origins in Germany and re-established the company. Lange is often thought of as a watchmaking powerhouse, with workmanship, finishing and quality rivalling the best of the Swiss counterparts like Patek Philippe. The 221.032 is an earlier variant of the 1815 Up/Down in a rose gold case with a symmetrical dial. Each subdial is titled in black font with a small seconds and a power reserve indicator of AUF / AB. The timepiece is powered by the Caliber L942.1 with a power reserve of 45 hours and hacking seconds and this can be viewed in the open sapphire caseback. The case size measures a comfortable 35.9mm.
