Best Replica A. Lange & Söhne-Marking 200 Years of Horological Excellence

Most of us call the replica Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin and Audemar Piguet the holy trinity of watchmakers. However, today I would argue that the fake A. Lange & Söhne deserve Audemar Piguet’s spot on that list of legends.
Not to discount Audemar Piguet, but I believe the quality and lineage of A. Lange & Söhne shines brighter and is more storied than that of the other great watchmaker. A. Lange & Söhne, all things considered, is one of my favorite watchmakers of all time and one that I believe is worthy of your attention and your praise.
In 1845, a man by the name of Ferdinand Adolph Lange founded a new watch manufacturer he named Lange in the small town of Glashütte, Germany, in the eastern state of Saxony.
Known for producing superlative handcrafted pocket replica watches, Emil and Richard Lange began to give their most prized productions a designation we now call “1A”. As the company grew so did their following and by the beginning of 1939, the German military requested they make oversized wrist fake watches for its airmen the way American companies like Waltham and Elgin had produced watches for the US Forces.
In spite of the prominent fake watch makers all being in Switzerland, Walter Lange wanted to commemorate his ancestors by keeping the manufacturer in its home of Glashütte. He named the new company A. Lange & Söhne (meaning “sons”) and, together, with a group of fine watchmakers, began to produce fine timepieces introducing their first range just four years later.
Many experts agree that the way you can tell if you’ve made a mark on the replica watch industry is if companies like the Richemont Group offer to acquire you. Of course, like many before it, that’s exactly what happened and A. Lange & Söhne became a member of the Richemont group.
Despite only reappearing in the 1990s, the replica A. Lange & Söhne has taken the watch world by storm and produces some of the finest timepieces available on the market today. Different from many other luxury watchmakers, A. Lange & Söhne makes their own in-house mechanical movements and, so far, has refused to produce a watch with an inferior quartz movement. Almost all of the company’s watch cases are made of gold or platinum with the only exception being certain special editions released in limited quantities. They offer a range of gold colors including yellow, rose and white and produce all of its parts in-house. In an ongoing effort to separate their collection from the Swiss manufacturers, A. Lange & Söhne forgoes typical features such as multiple bridges and cocks in favor of three-quarter plates, screwed gold chains and handmade balance cocks. All of the movements produced by them are made from German silver which is a copper and nickel alloy. This further separates them from the well known Swiss manufacturers that typically use plated brass. The nice thing about this difference is that it’s visually evident to the average consumer and gives the watch a very distinct sheen.
Replica A. Lange & Söhne also strives to give its watches a very distinctive German appearance focused on clean lines and asymmetric styles. A perfect example of this is the Lange 1 as it has no overlapping indicators which makes the timepiece far more teutonic in comparison to the luxury Swiss watchmakers.
Since the fake A. Lange & Söhne has had to work so hard to compete with the historic brands of Switzerland in such a small time frame, they’ve focused a great deal of their efforts on producing complicated timepieces that cater to the new-money market by producing chronographs and perpetual calendars.
