This summer, A. Lange & Söhne stunned the world with the debut of its legendary 1815 Rattrapante, the first pure split-seconds chronograph for the brand, in platinum. On the heels of the massive success of the honey gold interpretation released in 2020, A. Lange & Söhne welcomes a limited 200 pieces in a precious platinum case. Embodying the timeless elegance of the former honey gold version, the new platinum timepiece is complemented with an argenté-colored dial with blue hands and distinctive Arabic numerals, creating a classic, sophisticated look.

Housed inside the brilliant design with a case height of just 12.6mm and diameter of 41.2mm is the manually wound caliber L101.2. Adhering to the prestigious high standards of Lange, the movement is finished with premium quality. It was specially developed for this timepiece in the Lange manufactory. Instead of the traditional horizontal positioning of the small second and minute counters at 3 and 9 o’clock, these two displays are placed vertically at 12 and 6 o’clock.

The timepiece also features a stopwatch function with additive time measurements up to 30 minutes, as well as a split-time function with comparative time measurements up to 60 seconds. As the first pure split-seconds chronograph of the brand, the 1815 Rattrapante continues to stand as a testament to Lange’s complex creations, with the platinum version being a fitting progression for the dynamic wonder.
