A. Lange & Söhne

It seems Walter Lange has passed away. A sad day, and ironic - or fitting? - for it to be during SIHH.

Condolences to his family.

he did so much for Glashuette.
At least, he had a life of achievements and his name will live on.

Rest in peace, Mr. Lange!

My condolences to his Family!

Yours,

I am so incredibly grateful and honored to have been just one of the many beneficiaries of Walter Lange's vision, perseverance, courage, and creativity.  The genuine joy and excitement that I saw in his eyes when he explained to us the movement in one of watches some 15 years ago is a sight I'll never forget. My thoughts go out to his family and friends, and let's all raise our collective glasses to celebrate the long, full life that he led as well as true end of the "dynamic duo" that was Walter Lange and Günter Blümlein.

Walter Lange was a living legend - one of the great come back stories. If you had followed the Lange story or been to the factory or owned a Lange then his death feels like a family member has departed.

But what an amazing story! If you read his autobiography you understand why this gentleman's life should be celebrated for what he managed to accomplish in his lifetime.

RIP Walter Lange

My condolences to the family

Very sad, in special during a festive event (SIHH).

A kind man and one that built something of greatness. He will be missed

And many thanks for bringing A. Lange & Sohne back in the watch dial.

I just last night finished reading his memoir. I can't believe it.

Best wishes

RIP, Mister Lange.

He made a true combination to the world of Horology.
My condolences to his family and friends.
RIP.

Walter Lange was mit only the Membrane of the Lange family Who drove the resurrection of the brand. He was also the one who saw it being killed by some stray bombs at the end of WW II (indeed an attack against retreating German soldiers, not target at Glashütte itself), but much more by the dismantlement by the Sovjet Union and the confiscation by the socialist GDR.
Himself Walter Lange had to flee to West Germany because he was about to be sent to some Sovjet Uranium mine if I remember correctly, which would have meant certain death.
So imagin what it must have meant to him to have being part of bringing the brand back to where it is today.
A true gentleman and heir in the watch business.
Rest in peace.
