Pre-Owned A. Lange & Söhne
A.Lange & Sohne is an historic German name revived by its founding family after the fall of East German communism. Under the direction of Lange family scion Walter Lange and watch industry legend Günter Blümlein, the re-born Saxon horologer presented its first modern wristwatches in the fall of 1994. Since that watershed moment, the Glashütte-based brand has risen to rival the mechanical innovations and artisanal finish of the greatest Swiss houses. Often described as the "German Patek Philippe," Lange's unique designs and traditions make it more than a mere rival to Patek; Lange is a true alternative.

History of A. Lange & Söhne
A. Lange & Söhne's history is rooted in the rich watchmaking tradition of Glashütte, Germany. Ferdinand Adolph Lange founded the company in 1845, establishing a reputation for producing exceptional pocket watches. The brand quickly gained recognition for its innovative movements and meticulous craftsmanship. The company faced challenges during the 20th century, particularly during the division of Germany. Following reunification in 1990, the Lange family revived the brand, returning it to its former glory. A. Lange & Söhne watches are known for their technical complexity, exquisite finishing, and distinctive German design. The brand is celebrated for its high complications, including tourbillons, perpetual calendars, and rattrapante chronographs. Lange watches feature in-house movements, meticulously assembled and decorated by hand. The brand's commitment to quality and innovation has made it a leader in haute horlogerie.
