“Great customer service is one of those things where you just know it when you see it (or get it, rather). For me, great customer service is when I am warmly welcomed into an environment, and I feel special in my interaction with the staff. Questions are answered promptly and to the best of the salesperson’s ability, nothing is too much trouble and I never feel like I’m taking up too much of someone’s time. Great customer service means that I feel appreciated, walk out the door with a smile on my face and will recommend the place to everyone I know (whether they ask me or not!). That’s how we want every person that walks through the doors of the Melbourne Watches of Switzerland Boutique to feel when it comes time for them to walk back out again.”

A. Lange & Söhne Sydney

The A.

As the largest Lange boutique in the Southern Hemisphere, we invite you to discover our broad selection of handcrafted timepieces including sophisticated complications – many available for the first time in Australia, as well as all the latest novelties from the brand. We are also pleased to present boutique exclusives, which are not available anywhere else in the country.

“Considered one of the greatest high-end watch manufacturers in the world today, there is a powerful sense of pride in being the custodians of the rich storied history of Saxony watchmaking, from a brand with an unmatched dedication to creating a product built to last for centuries. It fills me with extraordinary sense of satisfaction and delight to be ambassadors for such an esteemed watchmaker. Knowing the blood, sweat and tears that goes into producing every timepiece instils in me a sense of responsibility to uphold the values and merits of A. Lange & Söhne. Likewise, I consider it a great privilege to manage the largest Lange boutique in the Southern Hemisphere and welcome the opportunity to share the brand’s story and its timepieces with an ever-growing clientele.”
