A. Lange & Sohne Saxonia Double Split Chronograph REF 404.032

In 1845 near Dresden, Germany in a town called Glashütte, Ferdinand Adolph Lange laid the foundation for what was to become one of the most prominent watch manufacturers worldwide, rivaling the mechanical innovations and artisanal finish of the greatest Swiss houses. After the collapse of the Berlin Wall in 1989, A. Lange & Söhne was reborn by Walter Lange, great-grandson of Ferdinand Adolph Lange, and watch industry legend, Günter Blümlein. Since then, the Glashütte-based brand has become a prominent member of the Richemont group, producing modern classics such as the iconic Lange 1, the first A. Lange & Sohne of the new era, and their traditionally made column-wheel chronograph known as the Datograph. Ultra-complicated versions of their traditional models, such as the Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon, have positioned A. Lange & Sohne as an important force in high-end watchmaking among collectors. Despite their complicated nature, these watches still manage to adhere to Lange’s clean and elegant design language, with a timeless style capturing the eye of collectors everywhere.
