A. Lange & Sohne Highlights - Tapa dura

Immediately after German reunification in 1990, Walter Lange returned to his Saxon hometown of Glashutte in order to continue the work that his legendary great-grandfather Ferdinand Adolph Lange had begun in 1845, interrupted one hundred short years later. He did this with the resolve to once again manufacture the best watches in the world. The presentation of A.Lange & Sohne's wristwatch collection in 1994 was an instant success: The German manufacturers comeback caused a rash of excitement the world over - in the trade as well as among the general public. The author comprises a clear company history and provides an overview of the most beautiful and remarkable models, describing the design and the discreetly traditional yet innovative technology of each watch. Numerous large format photographs illustrate the relevant model families such as Lange 1, 1815, Arkade and Cabaret models and many more.
