About A. Lange & Sohne

Originally founded in 1845, then destroyed by Russian bombers during World War II in 1945, it wasn't until the reunification of East and West Germany in 1989 that Walter Lange once again established A. Lange & Sohne. Then, in 1994, the world was introduced to Lange's first new collection of mechanical watches.

Now only ten years later, this true manufacturer, employs 260 craftsmen in its Glashutte workshops, creating its own movements and assembling by hand just only a few thousand watches a year.

Several important features mark all Lange watches-platinum or 18-karat gold cases, screw-on case backs, sapphire crystals, and sealed push pieces. Technically, the watches are distinctly complicated with offerings including off center main dial (Lange 1 and Lange 1 Tourbillon), split-seconds chronograph (Datograph), over-sized date display (Lange Saxonia), and perpetual calendar features (Langematik Perpetual).
