Mens A Lange & Sohne 403.035 Watches Platinum 950 Details

Blued steel subsidiary-dial hands. Tachometric scale along flange. Stunning movement perfectly visible to the viewer with no rotor to interrupt the design. Words fail to describe the magnificence of the movement with its levers and springs, circular graining and Glashutte ribbing, chamfering and polishing. In fact, Lange has patented the variable-position switch lever inside the movement to allow for the adjustment of the minute counter with disassembling the entire movement. The twin-disc outsize date is also under Lange patent protection.
A Lange & Sohne was first established in 1845 by Adolph Lange in Glasshutte. The firm established itself as makers of distinctive and fine timepieces - its pocket watches were prized by European gentry. Following the Second World War, the factory was seized by what was then East Germany. Walter Lange, the company's heir fled. It was only after the German reunification in 1990, that the founder's great grandson, Walter Lange, began reviving the company. With funding from LMH, the newly reformed company set out to restore its fine watchmaking tradition. The company was sold to the luxury conglomerate Richemont in July 2000. Although its watch parts may be cut with exceptional precision by the most advanced computer-aided machine tools, they are still finished, decorated and engraved by the skilled hands of some of the world's finest watchmakers.
