With the fall of the Berlin Wall, a legendary watch manufacturer was reincarnated. Walter Lange with the help of IWC and the Richemont Group has brought to the fore a full realized German manufacturer of elite, superior and complex timepieces.
True to the most esteemed methodology and artisanship A. Lange & Sohne has emerged as a true competitor for the greatest of watch makers. Uniquely designed, superbly crafted and very limited in production, the line is classic and yet innovative in the complications produced.
The brand continues to produce its own movements and produces a few thousand timepieces annually. The company produces watches in 18 karat gold and platinum and has recently followed the trend of larger cases and produces many of its models in a new 42mm size that debuted in 2008.
Quality, rarity and classic design coupled with top notch hand craftsmanship and rarity makes this brand desirable and recommended. Many of the watches are available at 10% to 20% discounts off suggested levels and previously owned watches can be acquired at significant discount when available. New releases are often selling at or near suggested retail levels..
Limited edition models are highly recommended. Platinum models are the most desirable due to rarity.
