If there was such a thing as a "pedestrian watch" at A. Lange & Sohne then it would surely be one of their "more basic" watches priced under $50,000 like this 1815 Up/Down. Anything over that simply could not be considered "ordinary." There of course is jest in my words as A. Lange & Sonhe is among the most exclusive high-end brands in the world that given their volume (about 5,000 or less watches a year) produce the nicest movements around. Turn over one of their watches - ideally a chronograph, and you'll see what the fuss is all about.
In the same year A. Lange & Sohne released a new version of their 1815 power reserve watch, they released the most complicated version of the 1815 yet with the 1815 Rattrapante Perpetual Calendar watch. The 1815 collection is among my favorites, especially since Lange has been increasing their size to meet up with Western demand. The simple dial with its proper sized hands and Arabic numerals offer a precise, calm sense of legibility. This 1815 Up/Down is a new version of an older watch. Rather than produce a lot of new pieces, Lange is feeling rather comfortable with their existing collection and offering new or updated versions of popular ones from the past.
