A. Lange & Söhne is a German luxury watch brand that has a rich history dating back to 1845. The company was founded by Ferdinand Adolph Lange in the town of Glashütte, Germany. Lange was a master watchmaker who had studied under renowned Swiss watchmaker Johann Christian Friedrich Gutkaes.

In the early years, Lange & Söhne produced pocket watches, which quickly gained a reputation for their precision and quality. In fact, Lange’s watches were so highly regarded that in 1876, the company was awarded a gold medal at the World’s Fair in Philadelphia.

However, the First World War dealt a severe blow to the company, and Lange & Söhne was forced to close its doors. In 1990, however, the brand was revived by Walter Lange, Ferdinand Adolph Lange’s great-grandson, and a group of investors.
