The antimagnetic Lange & Söhne pocket watches were manufactured only in a very clear, lower number and are only rarely offered on the watch market. The development of antimagnetic watches served to protect the mechanical movements from magnetic influences.
The movement of this pocket watch is equipped with a Palladium balance spring and a screw compensation balance according to Paillard, the plate of the movement bears the engraving "Paillards Patent Bal". This palladium alloy was particularly resistant to magnetic influences.

The solid gold case has a form of "Lucia", the diameter of the case is 52mm. The twopart enamel dial has large radial Arabic numerals in attractive combination with red Arabic minutes.
The high quality movement in 1A quality with beautiful Glashütte quality features is protected behind an 18k gold case.
This hunter case pocket watch is one of the few exemplars that were made with antimagnetic movement. It belongs to the high-quality watch production of the Lange & Sohne manufacture.
