A. Lange & Söhne have debuted the ‘1815 Chronograph Rattrapante’ as a follow-up to the famous ‘Honey Gold’ iteration. The watch uses a split-second chronograph function that activates the two second hands simultaneously and allows the user to stop one hand and let it catch up to the constantly-moving one for lap times.
The 41.2mm watch uses A. Lange & Söhne’s caliber L101.2, offering consumers 58 hours of battery life, 365-parts, and 36 jewels. Complete with a set of icy blue minute and second hands, the ‘1815 Chronograph Rattrapante’ is sure to appeal to consumers who appreciate traditional watch silhouettes. The watchmaker will offer the new platinum iteration in a complete run of 200 units with "price on request."
