Deutsche Uhrenfabrikation Glashütte - A. Lange & Söhne, Movement No. 22147, Case No. 22147, 37 mm, 42 g, circa 1888
A small Glashuette hunting case pocket watch in a pink gold case
Case: 14k pink gold, engraved monogram. Dial: enamel. Movm.: 3/4 plate movement, screw compensation balance.
This fine hunting case watch is unusual because of its size and the engraving on the gold dome tells us that it was most likely a Christmas gift - it reads "Weihnachten 1888", i.e., Christmas 1888.
One of the first watches produced by Lange & Söhne in quality standard "DUF". Many of these early "DUF" timepieces bear no signature on the dial.
