About Lange & Söhne: The history of Lange watchmaking artistry is closely related to the company’s Saxon homeland. The roots of its values and ideals that are still valid today date back to the Royal Court of Saxony under the reign of Augustus the Strong.
At A. Lange & Söhne, every part of a movement is decorated with its very own finissage tec
hnique, whether or not it is visible through the sapphire-crystal caseback of the watch. Additionally, as these finishing touches are applied by hand, Lange’s finisseurs endow each timepiece with their personal signature.On 7 December 1845, Ferdinand A. Lange established the first production facility for pocket watches in Glashütte and began to train 15 young people from the impoverished region with the aim of turning them into accomplished watchmakers. This courageous step was preceded by long negotiations with the government of Saxony which he had asked to support his venture. Finally, he was granted a repayable loan of 7820 thalers.
Ferdinand A. Lange introduced the metric system in watchmaking; this change simplified the calculation of movement parts. To craft components with greater accuracy, he fitted the lathes with flywheels instead of the bows that were common-place in those days. And to increase the stability and resilience of watch movements, he invented the three-quarter plate that was to become one of the typical hallmarks of watches made in Glashütte.After he had trained his apprentices in all basic manufacturing techniques, he encouraged them to specialise in particular technical domains. This is how their individual talents were used to enhance the quality and precision of pocket watches. Several years later, many of them founded their own workshops where pinions, mainspring barrels, or hands were crafted. Eventually, Glashütte became a hub of German precision watchmaking that helped a growing number of people make a decent living.
For thirty years, Ferdinand A. Lange fought hard to make his venture a success. In 1875, he died – only 60 years old. During this period, he had established a flourishing manufactory that enjoyed considerable prestige. His venture had brought back modest prosperity to Glas-hütte. In 1895, the town, which he also served as a mayor for 18 years, erected a monument for him in commendation of his great merits.
After Ferdinand A. Lange died, his sons Emil and Richard assumed the responsibility for managing the company that had operated under the name A. Lange & Söhne since 1868. It was the year in which Richard Lange became a co-owner of the manufactory. His younger brother Emil joined the firm three years later.
Together, they evolved A. Lange & Söhne timepieces to a degree of mechanical and artisanal maturity that perpetuated the renown of A. Lange & Söhne to this very day. Richard Lange in particular had inherited Ferdinand A. Lange’s horological talent and, following in his father’s footsteps, he relied on the latest scientific insights as he designed new calibres. Overall, the company was granted 27 patents and utility models for which he can take credit.
To this day, Lange & Söhne timepieces are still crafted by their time honored tradition:
A. Lange & Söhne, every part of a movement is decorated with its very own finissage technique, whether or not it is
visible through the sapphire-crystal caseback of the watch. Additionally, as these finishing touches are applied by hand, Lange’s finisseurs endow each timepiece with their personal signature.All movements inside A. Lange & Söhne watches are calibres crafted and finished in-house at the manufactory. To a very great extent, these operations must be performed manually, because the human hand is still much more sensitive and versatile than a tool can ever be.
