Lange & Söhne Part 3The Great RevivalAs the son of Rudolf Lange, grandson of Emil (link to part 2) and great-grandson of Ferdinand Adolph Lange (link to part 1), Walter Lange always knew what he wanted to be.

Lange & Söhne, absorbing as much knowledge as he could. – Walter LangeIt’s been just 25 years since A. Lange & Söhne presented its first four watches to the market.
