BRAND PROFILE

Founding the brand in Glashütte in 1845, Ferdinand A. Lange not only created the German watchmaking industry in Saxony, but also inaugurated one of the world’s finest watchmaking dynasties.

Five generations of Lange have pioneered innovative engineering masterpieces of the highest quality of craftsmanship, in extremely rare quantities. A.Lange & Söhne was only recently resurrected by the family when the Berlin wall was removed in 1990.

Lange and Sohne’s contributions to horology include:

1. The 5-minute clock for the Dresden Semper Opera House (1841)
2. The German ¾ Plate for stability and dust protection (1864)
3. The patent for the beryllium alloy still used in hairsprings (1930)
4. ZERO-Reset mechanism (2000)
5. Precisely jumping minutes counter (2001)
6. Tourbillon with stop-seconds mechanism (2002)
7. Constant force escapement (2007)
8. Numeric time indication with precisely jumping seconds (2009)

Today, the manufacture is recognised for the meticulous traditional elements it incorporates in its wristwatches: the three-quarter plate, German silver, screwed gold chatons and blued screws, hand-engraved balance cocks, and swan-neck fine regulation.

A. Lange & Söhne maintains its values of precision, tradition, innovation, aesthetics and rarity in each of its five collections: Lange 1, Saxonia, 1815, Richard Lange and Zeitwerk.

A. Lange & Söhne watches are available for purchase at the Melbourne, Perth and Sydney stores. As an approved watch service centre, we provide an after sales service for the lifetime of your A. Lange & Söhne watch.
