If there was such a thing as a ‘pedestrian watch’ at A. Lange & Sohne then it would surely be one of their “more basic” watches priced under $50,000 like this 1815 Up/Down. Anything over that simply could not be considered “ordinary.” There of course is jest in my words as A. Lange & Sonhe is among the most exclusive high-end brands in the world that given their volume…

A. Lange & Söhne Saxonia Annual Calendar Platinum Watch Review
As Old Ben Kenobi said while bequeathing to Luke his new lightsaber, “An elegant weapon, for a more civilized age”. Had he been handing over his old man’s wristwatch instead of a futures-past laser sword, a single word need only have been changed to properly describe it. That is, of course, if the timepiece he was handing down was the incredible A. Lange & Söhne Saxonia Annual Calender with Moonphase in Platinum.
A. Lange & Sohne 1815 Rattrapante Perpetual Calendar Watch
SIHH is in full swing and A. Lange and Sohne is not pulling any punches. ALS has announced the new 1815 Rattrapante Perpetual Calendar, and it looks to be a complete knockout. Featuring a new Lange calibre, the L.101.1, the 1815 Rattrapante Perpetual Calendar combines…
A. Lange & Sohne Grand Lange 1 Lumen Watch
For 2013 one of the limited edition A. Lange & Sohne watches will be this neat looking and very high-end Grand Lange 1 Lumen timepiece. The piece is a mix of a few ideas that Lange has offered over the years.
A. Lange & Sohne Grand Lange 1 Watch Hands-On
One of A. Lange & Sohne’s more quiet new releases for 2012 was this redesigned version of the Grand Lange 1 watch. Last year they released the great looking Lange 1 Daymatic with an automatic movement, and this year the Lange 1′s slightly bigger brother gets and update. This model is really something that mostly dedicated A. Lange & Sohne fans are going to understand, as it isn’t clearly an update, but more a slight revision.
All The A. Lange & Sohne Lange 1 Watches
Since its birth in 1994, the A. Lange & Sohne Lange 1 watch has been the brand’s most iconic watch. A real gamble at the time, it proved to be a very successful design. You can also thank it for the “big date” complication – that they refer to as an “outsized date.” Here is [...]
A. Lange & Sohne Datograph Up/Down Watch Hands-On
One of the top watches that I was excited to see at SIHH 2012 was the updated version of the A. Lange & Sohne Datograph. The original Datograph from quite a while ago was an awesome watch and one of Lange’s best aside from their iconic Lange 1 range. It is one of the only [...]
A. Lange & Sohne Lange 1 Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar Watch Hands-On
One theme I noticed at SIHH 2012 was a bit of a return to more classy connoisseur-driven high end watches. Brands like A. Lange & Sohne and Greubel Forsey released tourbillon based watches with tourbillons not visible from the dials. For Lange it is this highly useful and complicated creation that pulls at the heart [...]
A. Lange & Sohne Datograph Up/Down Watch
One of my favorite A. Lange & Sohne watch designs of all time is the famous Datograph – and to think the design is over 11 years old now! For 2012 Lange is revisiting the Datrograph with a new and updated model that retains the desirability of the original watch. The new model will be [...]
Celebrating Connoisseurship With A. Lange & Sohne Watches
Back in early 2009 I visited A. Lange & Sohne’s manufacture in Glashutte. It was actually the first watch manufacture I visited, and now almost three years later I have much to compare it to. It is actually a shame that I saw Lange’s manufacture so early in my career because I did not properly [...]
A. Lange & Sohne Langematik Perpetual Watch Available On James List
The perpetual calendar complication has been a fascinating and useful feature on high-end watches for quite sometime. Calendar functions directly related to keeping the time, and offer a variety of information related to the 24 hour cycle. Most watches have just the date, and the more complex you get, the more calendar functions you can [...]
A. Lange & Sohne Richard Lange Tourbillon “Pour le Merite” Watch Hands-On
One of the best surprises at SIHH 2011 was how much I enjoyed the A. Lange & Sohne Richard Lange Tourbillon “Pour le Merite.” The regulator style watch took influence from a pocket watch made in the Dresden area a while back. It had three overlapping subdials, with one for the hours, minutes, and seconds. [...]
A. Lange & Sohne Saxonia Dual Time Watch
To be honest when I first checked out this Saxonia Dual Time watch I didn’t give it much attention. It was nice, but didn’t really look like the A. Lange & Sohne watches I was used to. I was frankly more interested in the Richard Lange Tourbillon Pour le Merite as well as the Zeitwerk [...]
A. Lange & Sohne Richard Lange Tourbillon “Pour le Merite” Watch
2011 will experience the release of this new fusee and chain transmission watch from Glashutte, Germany based A. Lange & Sohne. To be honest, fusee and chain movement watches excite me a lot more than tourbillons. Not that they are mutually exclusive, but I really love the idea that there is a tiny hand-made (bicycle [...]
A. Lange & Sohne 165 Years – Homage To F.A. Lange Collection: Tourbograph “Pour le Merite,” Lange 1 Tourbillon, And 1815 Moonphase Watches
Earlier this year A. Lange & Sohne announced a limited edition collection of (even more) decorated watches as homages of the 165th anniversary of their founder, Ferdinand Adolph (F.A.) Lange. In 1845 Mr. Lange moved from Dresden to the nearby small mountain town of Glashutte. As Lange likes to see it, history was then born! [...]
A. Lange & Sohne Grande Lange 1 Luminous Watch
It is the heat of the night, and you are having an expensive watch wearing worthy good time. You go to look are your luxury timepiece in the dim lighting on the patio of that bar you like, and low and behold those lustrous gold holds show no luster in the dark. Time to rethink [...]
