Review: A. Lange & Söhne 1815 ‘Homage to Walter Lange’

The 1815 'Homage to Walter Lange' was conceived in memory of Walter Lange, the spiritual figurehead of the brand since its revival in 1990 who sadly passed away on the second day of SIHH last year at the age of 93. More than just a tribute piece, the watch also features an atypical, but interesting complication.

Seeing Omega’s 1957 Trilogy 60th Anniversary boxed set in the metal was one of the highlights of Baselworld this year for Andrew, Andy and myself.
