Ferdinand Adolph Lange founded the company in Glashütte, Saxony in 1845, creating a German watchmaking tradition to rival Switzerland. The brand was nationalized under East German communist rule and disappeared for decades before Walter Lange re-founded it in 1990 — releasing four watches that immediately established Lange as a top-tier manufacture. Every Lange movement is hand-assembled twice: built, tested, disassembled, cleaned, and rebuilt to ensure perfection. The Lange 1 (with its asymmetric dial and outsized date) is one of the most recognizable modern watch designs. German silver plates, hand-engraved balance cocks, and three-quarter plates give Lange movements a visual identity entirely distinct from Swiss competitors.
