• Lot Description
  Founded in 1845 by Ferdinand Adolph Lange in Glashutte, his company would lead the way to transform the area he chose into a hub of watch making in the Kingdom of Saxony, relevant and thriving today. His sons joined the firm in 1868, this watch relates to the change in the company structure, as the case bears a 1876 inscription. Right from the start, Lange strived for precision and quality. While this example is simple gold gilt plates, engraving on the balance cock, is a clue to the attention to details, even on this early model. The watch has a unique feature, the crown is depressed in order to set the hands. White enamel dial with Roman numerals for all chapters, except six, the location of the subsidiary seconds dial. Blued spade type minute/hour hands, blued stick type sub hand with marquee. All minute hash marks at the dial's edge, bold at chapters. Three quarter plate 17 jewel (diamond end stones on balance) manual wind movement, serial number 10430. To be technical, it is common to associate with the largest city to your proximity, Glashutte, a smaller hamlet thirty miles from Dresden, which you will see noted on the original warranty card bearing correct serial #10430. Also included is the original nested sales box. Crystal weighs 4.8 grams. Movement and 18K gold case weighs 137.2 grams.

  Condition

  Running at inspection but not tested for accuracy. Small chip in crystal. Crown is positioned with a small set screw. It should be removed and a drop of oil placed on the stem, as the spring action sometimes hangs up, causing the release from hand setting mode not to be immediate.
