The LANGE 1 is the icon of their Saxon manufactory. Hardly any timepiece won more awards in the past decades. When the first four watches were presented it became the focus of interest and since then has symbolised a courageous new beginning as well as the continuation of a long-standing horological tradition.
In 1845, Ferdinand Adolph Lange founded his watch workshop in Glashütte, a town which would become synonymous with German watchmaking. The company quickly grew and Ferdinand’s sons, Emil and Richard, won acclaim for their respective business acumen and watchmaking prowess. As one of the oldest watchmaking companies in the world, A. Lange and Sohne luxury watches have a strong history of innovation and precision.
