Think deep-gloss German silver plates, hand-engraved balance cocks, and movements finished like miniature sculptures. While Switzerland is undoubtedly known as the home of luxury, Saxony, the region in eastern Germany (specifically in the town of Glash\u00fctte), is all about craftsmanship with a distinctly German edge: less glitz, more grit. And A.

You don\u2019t need to understand any of that to appreciate it. But if you do, it\u2019s an even better spectacle.<\/p><p>This is the watchmaker\u2019s 75th calibre since the brand\u2019s resurrection in the 1990s, and it doesn\u2019t disappoint. Manually wound, as German tradition demands, the new L152.1 movement delivers 72 hours of power reserve with a freely oscillating balance spring and an in-house screw balance. All whilst reducing the size of the piece. <\/p>                <div class=\"row row-center collapse\">\n                    <div class=\"column\">\n                        <div class=\"dmg-ad\"><div id=\"incontent-766668365\" class=\"ad-container\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var load_334039812 = function () {googletag.cmd.push(function () {var slot_334039812 = googletag.defineSlot(\"\/1017963\/DMarge\/incontent\",[[250,250],[300,100],[300,250],[320,100],[336,280]],\"incontent-766668365\").addService(googletag.pubads()).setTargeting('refresh', 'true');if (gamData && gamData.sizeMap && gamData.sizeMap.hasOwnProperty('incontent')) {slot_334039812.defineSizeMapping(gamData.sizeMap['incontent']);}googletag.display(\"incontent-766668365\");});};adsQueue.push(load_334039812);<\/script><\/div><\/div>                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-lange-amp-sohne-also-released-a-larger-dial\">A. Lange &amp; S\u00f6hne Also Released a Larger Dial<\/h2><p>For those after a little more presence on the wrist, the 1815 is also available in a 38.5mm case. It\u2019s still discreet by modern standards, but wears with a quiet confidence that suits the dial\u2019s classic layout: argent\u00e9-coloured in solid silver, with blued-steel hands and all the traditional hallmarks of Lange design. <\/p><p>This version runs on the L051.1 calibre: another manually wound movement, this time with the brand\u2019s signature three-quarter plate in untreated German silver and a hand-engraved balance cock anchoring the whole thing in tradition. There\u2019s nothing flashy here. No gimmicks, no openworked dials, no token nods to \u201cmodernity.\u201d Just technical prowess, character and an obsessive level of finish that demands our attention. Like everything Lange makes, it\u2019s a piece that rewards repeat wear and a long, pensive stare.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A.
