Hello, and welcome, folks, to Fratello Talks. Germany’s most prestigious watch brand has turned 30 (again) this year! So today, in honor of three decades of watchmaking from its seat in Glashutte, we’re talking all about A. Lange & Sohne. Now, some of you may be thinking: “Wait, Lange has only been around since the ’90s?” And you’d be right to question that because the brand was originally founded in 1845 but closed its doors in 1948. After several decades of dormancy, Walter Lange, the great-grandson of Ferdinand Adolph Lange, brought the brand back to life. Since then, it has quickly risen to the top of the heap alongside prestigious watchmaking houses that have existed for centuries. Today, we take a look at A. Lange & Sohne, its watches, and what makes them both so special. But first, let’s get to the wrist check.
