A. Lange & Söhne developed DUF (Deutsche Uhrenfabrikation) watches with the Dresden company Dürrstein & Co. to create a more accessible, but still precise watch for consumers. The present lot is typical of DUF watches, including the signature on the dial as well as the 14 ct. gold case. DUF watches mainly differentiated from ALS-branded watches in that their jewels did not have the screwed bushings in gold, and were only adjusted to three positions rather than five. Their movements were also slightly more plain and contained a ruby endstone instead of the typical diamond.
