The History of A. Lange & Söhne: From the Beginning to the Rebirth | A Lange Story
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 сер 2024
- Langepedia’s Alp Sever in partnership with WatchBox presents an eight-part video series on the history of A. Lange & Söhne. Sever has spent years researching and writing about all aspects of the German brand. In the first part of the series, Sever examines Ferdinand Adolph Lange’s beginnings in watchmaking and his eventual founding of a watchmaking institution. He looks into the Lange family’s tradition of watchmaking and their production of grand complications, tourbillons, and pocket watches, before taking a closer look at the fall of the company during World War II and its rebirth in 1990.
You can connect with Alp from Langepedia via alp@langepedia.com and read more of his articles at Langepedia.com.

AP to me is officially in the bin!
Yes!! More of Alp and more of Lange please!!!👍👍👍
As an admirere of L&S watches, I found this story fascinating. Thank you and I look forward to watching the other episodes.
Thank you for this interesting video Alp, Lange is one my favorite watchmaker and I'm really interested in the history of this brand.
Thank you, Enrico! Always happy to chat if you have any questions.
I had the pleasure of a few days in Dresden with a visit to Glashutte. A brilliant few days. The German watch Museum in the centre of Glashutte is well worth a visit.
Dresden is a beautiful city too. The Lange boutique in the centre of town is to die for.
If anyone is in Germany - take a detour!
Word!! Fantastic city to enjoy in both seasons, and Glashütte is much worth a de-tour!
Thank you very much for this excellent video. I´m a big fan of the brand and was glad to have the ability to visit the ALS production facility in Glashüttte four years ago. Thanks also for your effort to pronouce the german wording correctly.
Great video Apl. Lange is one of my favorite brands. Looking forward to the next episode!!
Excellent. It feels like an audio book! Loving it.
Hahah, thank you, Sir!

Really enjoyable to watch. Thanks Alp!
Many thanks, Sir!

Thank you very much, Peter!
@@alpsever5279 you're a wealth of information Alp and presented it beautifully, looking forward to the next one 👍
@@PeterKotsa Oh, deaely appreciate it, Peter. So very kind of you.
All thanks to those “people whom I’m proud to call friends” and fantastic people over at Lange who responded my endless questions tirelessly. Couldn’t be luckier!
By far one of my favourite watch brands. They have not departed from their heritage and I love that. Appreciate the history lesson.
@Yorkiepoocharlie I only own 1 at the moment. A Yellow Gold Lange 1.
My next purchase is an 1815 Homage. These timepiece are so beautiful to look at.
A combination of craftsmanship and tradition.
Well done, Alp! I have been a Lange collector for years and have always enjoyed your content and WatchBox’s content. It has been a pleasant surprise that your presence in front of the camera has been as good as your writings on Langepedia. Your narration is strong, and your English continues to improve. I am very much looking forward to parts 2-8!
Thank you very much, Christopher. Absolutely a pleasure to hear this, many thanks!
Wonderful storytelling. Always been a big fan of A.Lange. Can't afford them but admire them none the less. Looking forward to the next episode.
Thank you, Rick! I hope you continue to enjoy!
Very good start, looking forward to seeing more!
Thank you Sir!
Love the content, Alp. Thank you.
Lange is my favourite watch-maker, and I think that their 1815 thin honeygold (ref. 239.050) is one of the greatest dress watch ever. Hopefully, I can find and purchase one in the near future.
Looking forward to future episodes!
Thank you, Nikhil! Thrilled to hear this.
On the 1815 thin, I completely agree. It is one of the best value watches Lange has put out perhaps in the last 15 years. Brilliant watch.
Please feel free to email me if I may be of help with anything at all.
Many thanks,
Really looking forward to seeing more episodes.
Thank you, Robert!
I’m going to have to keep an eye out for the OLIW, the Caliber 28, and ALP watches!
Hahah indeed - I found an ALP, never again unfortunately! Best of luck with the search.
Fantastic Alp! Excellent story telling, all class!
Thank you very much, James. Dearly appreciate it!
Great story for great watch
Really insightful story into one of the most important manufacturers today. There’s a beautiful platinum 1815 limited edition of 200 pieces on sale at a good price on Chrono24 from a seller in Switzerland which I’m really interested in acquiring
Awesome! We are looking forward to the next episode 🙌🏻 Greetings from 🇩🇪
Amazing series. Can't wait to see more. Watchbox fully understand that they need to educate their customers.
Thank you Sir!
Fascinating! This is a great idea for a series by Watchbox. Looking forward to the following episodes and hope this series gets expanded to other interesting watch brands too. But Lange is one of my all time favorites, so this’ll be great!
Wonderful first video Alp, can’t wait to see the rest and you came across as a natural. 👏👏🥃
Cheers buddy!! The ones we talk about coming very soon! :)
Great work, Alp, as always! I've learned a great deal from you and Langepedia a great deal over the years!
This is great content
Now we talking!
Thank you Alp! Excellent series and looking forward to the deep dive in the next few episodes!
Thank you very much, Sir!
Thank you. Looking forward to the rest of the series.
Thank you, Sir!
Kinda glossed over the whole WW II era… Hopefully you’ll address this chapter more thoroughly in one of the upcoming episodes.
Pretty cool
Love the brand, but hate their barriers-to-entry. I am a one piece owner, but can’t even get on a waiting list without owning multiple pieces. The brand sacrifices newer and growing customers for the sake of taking care of its VIP’s.
I’m new to this brand , but sad to know like Rolex my money is not good enough, I’m seriously thinking about purchasing an ALS , just trying to decide which one , I love the datagraph but boy is it expensive but I also like the chronograph which looks better value for money , as it’s half the price
@@laurencefahey2085 all their models are for serious watch collectors so you can’t go wrong. You’ll be staring at the movement all the time. If an owner wants an Odysseus, they won’t even put you on a waiting list unless you first have at least two Langes in your collection. Frustrating considering the high price point of all their models.
@dvolla depends on which 2 pieces you are keen in. I think they also profile their customers.. so if they have record that you maybe a flipper, they wouldn’t allocate you a more limited piece. Great watch and looking forward to the day their more common pieces actually retain value…
@@brpugonlatour1636 excellent point. Plus, they seem to be moving away from Authorized Dealers and more towards a Boutique model, which again is a higher focus on their existing VIP’s.
Illuminating

So will we find out about Glashutte Original - the real successor company to ALS? Tim mentions this all the time in the review videos.
ALS benefits from the "aura" of its' hyper watches - those above say $75, 000, of which relatively few are made. At the more "modest" price points, GO, and a few others are more than competitive and frankly offer better value. At the very least you will get a 4Hz movement versus ALS's 3Hz...
I'm not sure what a "real successor" means here. Walter Lange is re-registered the trademark in December 7th 1990 once again as A. Lange & Söhne, therefore, I think we don't need to look somewhere else. It is true that A. Lange & Söhne was expropriated and merged under GUB, which later was Glashütte Original; alas, it has nothing to do with the brand Ferdinand Adolph Lange founded in 1845, even more so, when there's a modern founder.
I simply see them as two very different brands. GO offers brilliant pieces at different ranges, no question on that front.
@@alpsever5279
I think B Munson means that the assets/business of the original Lange creation were incorporated into what is now GO; hence GO being the successor of the original AL&S.
Although the name of AL&S was re-registered and today belongs to a different company, that company has a far lesser connection to the original business/assets of AL&S than GO has.
Like all Swiss watches - produce less watches and jack the price up astronomically .
Lange 1815 Auf / Ab 2006 : 11300 Euro
Lange 1815 Chronograph 2006: 29600 Euro
Lange 1 2006: 20900 Euro
Price 2022 ? 😏
Thank you, I’m not interested.
