Walter Lange relaunched his family's watchmaking company in 1990, three decades after the East German state had shut it down, and ran it until his death in January 2017. That December, Lange unveiled the 1815 "Homage to Walter Lange," and built the tribute into the numbers themselves: the yellow gold edition is limited to exactly 27 pieces, one for each year between the 1990 relaunch and his passing. The caliber inside, L1924, references his birth year.
