A. Lange & Söhne Replicas – exact imitations of the survivors through time

A. Lange & Söhne had first been established over a century ago in the far-off year of 1868 by Richard Lange in the German capital city of watch making industry – Glashütte. The philosophy behind this brand lies in the greatest interest to the tiniest details and the radical counter measures taken over the tiniest irregularity – characteristics of a typical German made watch of every kind, whether it is a stature, a pocket watch, or a wristwatch, irrespectively. This thing has made them extremely popular brand and they were the main target of the passionate watch collectors from around the world.

The reputation of this brand only got better in years. A. Lange & Söhne was a very respectable brand and gained the respect and high admiration from everybody, the watch experts, the amateurs, the curious customers, and even the emperors and important members of the monarchy. Yes, that is right, and if you do not believe it, we will provide an argument. In the year of 1898, the monarch Kaiser William II has placed an extravagant order for a unique pocket watch beautified with jewels all over the timepiece as a present for the prevailing Sultan of the Ottoman Empire.

Unfortunately however, this craftsmanship which was very close to perfection has come to an end, for some time at least. To make it clearer, throughout the war in Europe, the manufacture of A. Lange & Söhne was destroyed by an aerial bombing attack, and Glasshütte being located in East Germany became under the authority and control of the Soviet Union for some time in the post war period. Lange’s grandson, Walter Lange was already moved westwards to save his life, however, he did not forget about his grandfather’s tradition and was working hard for accomplishing the same success as this brand enjoyed during the time of his grandfather and after Germany got reunited, Walter got back and with a few employees began to revive the brand of the new era – A. Lange & Söhne.

However, to get a piece of the ‘survived brand’ would cost you a fortune. Prices that rise tens of thousands of dollars and all that for a wristwatch is not something everyone could afford, and especially not in this hard time of recession.

The solution for this problem is purchasing a replica of this brand. Do not worry, the A. Lange & Söhne replicas are made in Switzerland only and have the same quality, possess the same features and has the same or at least approximately the same durability of an original A. Lange & Söhne wristwatch, the only thing that differs is the price. For a couple of thousand of dollars you can obtain the quality and design without your wallet being all dried out. A replica of this watch has the same manual engravings at the same spots as the originals, yes, the engravings are only handmade as in the originals, then we have the common circular case present at most of A. Lange & Söhne watches, the dial color usually being white mother of pearl, silver or champagne, the dial always having several sub dials with different functions and the strap always being made of genuine leather (we never really found out what A. Lange & Söhne had so much against the bracelets and stuck strictly to leather straps). Now, you would surely ask how come these replicas are so cheap. Now, the answer of this questions lies in the materials used for manufacturing these pieces, however it is neither the case material which is usually made of rose gold and platinum, nor the material of the clasp which is always of the finest leather. The answer lies in the beautifying stones. Now, in the original are used real precious stones and gems whereas in the replicas are most often used gem imitations. Nevertheless, an A. Lange & Söhne wristwatch will give you sophistication, style and beauty wherever you go.
