Lot Essay

The world reknowned company of A. Lange & Shne was re-established in December 1990 as Lange Uhren GmbH by Walter Lange, grandson of the original founder Adolph Lange. The original company, famous for its high quality pocketwatches (see lot 344), was badly damaged in the last days of World War Two and was later requisitioned by the East Germany government.
