A Lange Sohne Watches:
Another new offering from Lange is the 1815 Moonphase. All mechanical moon phase watches will need manual adjustments to keep synchronous with earth's only natural satellite. Whereas most mechanical moon-phase watches will need manual adjustments every few years, the Lange 1815 will, if kept constantly running, deviate from the synodic phase by only a single day in 1058 years! This was accomplished by engineering the moon phase display to the hour as opposed to most moon phase watches which are geared to either change either once or twice daily depending on the movement. This elegant watch quietly draws attention to its moon phase function with the addition of the constellation Ursa Major (the big dipper). A sub seconds dial balances the dial opposite the moon phase display. Only 400 of these very special Lange moon phases will be produced. 250 in 18 kt rose gold and 150 in platinum. Retail price for the Lange Moon phase is $18,200 in platinum and $13,200 in rose gold.
