The short answer
The closest alternative to the A. Lange & Söhne 1815 Updown is the A. Lange & Söhne 1815 ($35,500) — same family (1815) and Classic dress. If price is the constraint, the Blancpain Villeret Ultraplate at $12,600 (vs $39,600 for the 1815 Updown) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Oblvlo AM-FG is the standout microbrand take — racing chrono and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Blancpain Villeret Équation du Temps Marchante ($263,500) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
