A gentleman's extremely rare, nearly unworn, large automatic Glashuette wristwatch with hinged back, made for the 100th anniversary of the celebrated German jeweller and retailer Oeding-Erdel in a limited edition of only 38 examples - with original box, original certificate and operating instructions

This model was created specially for the 100th anniversary of renowned jeweller and retailer Oeding-Erdel in 2006. The A. Lange & Söhne "1815 Cuvette" is a striking special edition model fitted with the automatic movement of the "1815 Automatik" model. Only 38 pieces were produced in white and in rose gold; the watch was sold exclusively at Oeding-Erdel in Germany.
The name of the 1815 stands for the birth year of Ferdinand A. Lange, who was the founder of the German watchmaking industry in Glashuette. Its design is shaped by tradition: blued hands that stand out from the solid silver dial and make for easy reading; Arabic numerals and a minute ring that reminds us of a railway track.
