Pocket watch: Glashütte rarity, Brinckmann & Lange 1A quality gold

Ca. Ø52mm, ca. 116g, heavy 14K pink gold Savonnette case, case and movement share the same serial number 2434, A. Lange & Söhne precision lever movement in top-quality 1A grade with diamond endstone, gold lever, gold escape wheel and, as an absolute rarity, ‘GOLDEN FINE REGULATION’ – a feature not found elsewhere in the Lange & Söhne range – signed enamel dial, pink gold hands, in very good condition and in working order! This watch is an absolute rarity! Behind this name lies not a watch manufacturer in its own right, but the long-established jewellers Brinckmann & Lange, founded in Bremen in 1874 by Adolph Brinckmann and Gerhard Lange. As co-founder Gerhard Lange maintained close ties with Glashütte, the Bremen-based jewellers were one of the most important and exclusive distribution partners of the world-famous A. Lange & Söhne manufactory in Glashütte. These watches were manufactured by A. Lange & Söhne in Glashütte (often to the highest quality grade, ‘1A’), had their own numbering system and were supplied to Brinckmann & Lange. They are among the rarest Glashütte pocket watches.
