A. Lange and Sohne 1815 Flyback Chrono Boutique Edition 414.026 18K White Gold - 2019

Introduced in 2015 as a Boutique-only release, the Flyback Chronograph 414.026 is perhaps the ultimate expression of the 1815.

Let’s start with the white gold case which is a perfectly proportioned 39.5mm x 11mm thick, with a lovely stepped bezel masking any extra height. It houses a solid matte silver dial, with rhodiumed gold and blued steel hands and pulsometer outer track helping to fill in negative space and works wonders for the aesthetics. While other 1815 Chrono’s also feature the Pulsometer, this boutique edition’s is slightly thinner, with minute railway track and better proportioned subdials helping to once again elevate this over the regular edition.

While these small but significant changes on the dial side make for perhaps the best looking 1815 Chronograph, the star of the show is still undoubtedly on the reverse of the case. Like a mini-city filled with hundreds of years of watchmaking chops, the calibre L951.5 is absolutely astounding visually and technically and you could spend hours each day simply staring at it in awe. The use of German silver adds a warmth you don’t get with other movements, and helps accentuate the multi-layered construction. It’s phenomenal.

As well as being simply unbelievable to look at, this generation of the movement also features a 60 hour power reserve (the earlier versions only had 36) as well as a free sprung, adjustable balance.

This particular piece was sold by the HK Boutique in 2019 and presents in mint condition. Clearly worn very sparingly, only minor swirlies and hairlines distinguish it from new. Please see images for full condition details.

Comes with outer sleeve, outer box, inner box, inner leather case, cleaning cloth, instruction manual and guarantee manual dated January 2019.
