The company, which represents one of German watchmaking's proudest traditions (Ferdinand Adolphe Lange set up his workshop in Glashütte in 1845) rocked the watchmaking world with its iconic Lange 1 wristwatch, which it launched when it resumed watch production in post-reunification Germany in 1994. Though the Lange 1 remains its most recognizable watch Lange & Söhne has since gone on to demonstrate its mastery of watchmaking at every level of complexity.
