What did we got here?

Lets open it up.

There is something at the bottom.

Looks good.

Lets start with this one.

Manual, service book and a polishing cloth. As the manual says it's the 1815 inside the box.

The Lange & Söhne 1815 is a salute to the company founder Ferdinand Adolph Lange that was born this year.

The 1815 have the look of a classic Lange pocket watch.

The solid silver dial. Arabic numbers and railway minute scale. Blued hands will make a very good contrast.

Finally A Lange & Söhne just open my eyes with this new model of 1815 that was  released in 2009 is called

"Die große" (The big one) with it's 40 mm case instead of the 36,5 mm as the 1815 that was released in 1995.

This one is the WG model, Lange only made watches of  precious metals.

The clasp is made of WG too.

The "manufaktur kaliber" (inhouse) L051.1 contains 188 parts and most of them is hand-decorated, I will say this is watchmaking artistry.

The three-quarter plate is something that A. Lange & Söhne introduced in 1864 and has since been a characteristic feature of watchmaking in Glashütte.

The movement is a manual wound with a three-quarter plate made of untreated German silver, hand-engraved balance cock, whiplash

precision index adjuster, screwed gold chatons and thermally blued screws. 21 jewels and 55 hours power reserve

Untreated German Silver. This special alloy is used for the plates and bridges in the movements.

Whiplash precision index adjuster. This device allows the rate of a Lange watch to be adjusted with high precision.
