A. Lange & Söhne represents the pinnacle of German precision watchmaking, founded in 1845 by Ferdinand Adolph Lange in the small town of Glashütte. With a vision to create the world's finest timepieces, Lange established an entire industry in the Saxony region, pioneering innovations like the three-quarter plate that enhanced movement stability. The company flourished for a century before its post-WWII expropriation, causing the brand to vanish for over 40 years.
