A. Lange & Söhne 1815 Rattrapante

The 1815 Rattrapante is a luxury wristwatch by A. Lange & Söhne.

This model was introduced 2022. It follows the limited edition model 1815 Rattrapante Honeygold “Homage to F. A. Lange”, which was presented two years earlier, but unlike the latter, it has a platinum case.

The watch is powered by the same manufacture caliber L101.2, which is limited to the essential functions of a rattrapante chronograph, i.e. it also dispenses with the display of date and power reserve.

On the other hand, it shines with a handcrafted perfection, which is reminiscent of the historic pocket watches in top quality: bridges and cocks made of untreated German silver, a screw balance, screwed gold chatons that secure the jewels and a hand-engraved balance cock. All upper sides of the moving parts of the rattrapante chronograph, such as levers, springs and jumpers, are decorated with straight graining while the peripheral chamfers are polished. Bevel-polishing re-entrant angles is a particular challenge for the finishing specialists. Only experienced artisans will succeed in polishing the corners acutely and so they are truly sharp.
