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.
