Ferdinand Adolph Lange founded A. Lange & Söhne in Glashütte, Saxony, in 1845, with the explicit goal of building a German watchmaking centre capable of rivalling Swiss precision. His signature innovation, the three-quarter plate, replaced individual movement bridges with a single stabilising plate — a defining feature of Glashütte watchmaking still used today. The company was nationalised in 1948 under Soviet occupation and ceased to exist for over four decades, until Walter Lange, Ferdinand's great-grandson, re-registered the brand in 1990 following German reunification, precisely 145 years after its founding. Today A. Lange & Söhne remains headquartered in Glashütte and is part of the Richemont Group.
