A. Lange & Söhne, a renowned German luxury watchmaker, has a storied history dating back to 1845 when Ferdinand Adolph Lange established the company in the town of Glashütte, Germany. The brand quickly gained a reputation for producing some of the world’s finest timepieces, known for their exceptional craftsmanship and precision.

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, A. Lange & Söhne made significant contributions to horology, pioneering innovations like the three-quarter plate, which improved movement stability. However, the company faced challenging times during World War II and the subsequent division of Germany.

In the 1990s, after German reunification, Walter Lange, the great-grandson of Ferdinand Adolph Lange, revitalized the brand. A. Lange & Söhne made a triumphant return to the watchmaking world with a focus on high-end, handcrafted watches. They introduced iconic collections such as the Lange 1, Saxonia, and Datograph.

Today, A. Lange & Söhne is celebrated for its exceptional watchmaking, blending tradition with innovation to create exquisite timepieces sought after by connoisseurs worldwide.
