A. Lange & Söhne 1815 235.026 White Gold Silver Dial (2026)

The 1815 235.026 is the classic time-only 1815 in White Gold, named for the year Ferdinand Adolph Lange, who founded the company in Glashütte, was born. The family dates to 1995, shortly after A. Lange & Söhne's revival, and it remains the manufacture's clearest link to its 19th-century pocket watches, from which it takes the railway-track minute scale and Arabic numerals that set it apart from the Lange 1 and Saxonia, whose designs start elsewhere.

Its 38.5 mm White Gold case, 8.8 mm high, frames a Silver dial of solid silver with blued steel hands, black Arabic numerals, a railway-track minute scale and a small seconds at 6 o'clock. The movement is hand-wound and decorated in the Glashütte tradition, with a three-quarter plate of German silver and a hand-engraved balance cock visible through the sapphire caseback. A black alligator strap and White Gold prong buckle complete it.
