Originally founded in 1845, then destroyed by Russian bombers during World War II in 1945, it wasn't until the reunification of East and West Germany in 1989 that Walter Lange once again established A. Lange & Sohne. Then, in 1994, the world was introduced to Lange's first new collection of mechanical swiss replica watch . Now only ten years later, this true manufacturer, employs 260 craftsmen in its Glashutte workshops, creating its own movements and assembling by hand just only a few thousand watches a year. Several important features mark all Lange Replica Patek Philippe Watches -platinum or 18-karat gold cases, screw-on case backs, sapphire crystals, and sealed push pieces. Technically, the watches are distinctly complicated with offerings including off center main dial (Lange 1 and Lange 1 Tourbillon), split-seconds chronograph (Datograph), over-sized date display (Lange Saxonia), and perpetual calendar features (Langematik Perpetual). In April 2004, a sensational event took place at the Watch Salon in Geneva. The Dolce & Gabbana , made a presentation of the Lange Double Split, the world's first wristwatch with the twin counters of the split chronograph, a real watch within a watch. The split chronograph, or rattrapante mechanism, was invented Louis-Frederick Perelle in 1827. It made it possible to measure the time taken by two objects separately. But A. Lange & Sohne's model is even cleverer. The Lange Double Split's 43mm platinum case contains two counters a main and a secondary. An additional minute-counter makes it possible to measure an event lasting up to 30 minutes the majority of ordinary chronographs can only measure up to 60 seconds. This function provides the closest possible comparison, which is important for those involved in horse or motor racing. A 'chronograph within a chronograph' of this kind has been dreamed about by watchmakers almost since the time of Perelle. For this reason, the brainchild of the German engineers immediately became the brightest star in the chronograph horizon, and its creators won the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Geneve, while the devotees of state-of-the-art watch-making obtained a new fetish. Its manual and automatic movements are frequent award-winners and each is made in-house and used exclusively for its own watches.

A very interesting success story, A. Lange & Sohne (A Lange & Sons) was created in 1845, in Germany, in a small town in Saxony, by a young entrepreneur, who transformed his family business into one of the most appreciated watch-*** powerhouses in the world. After the Second World War, in 1948, the brand's owners were expropriated by the Soviet administration, and A. Lange & Sohne ceased to exist until 1990 when, with the help of the prestigious Richemont group, the brand started again to produce timepieces extremely appreciated by the watch connoisseurs worldwide.
