FIRST-HAND INFORMATION: CERTIFICATES FOR LANGE WATCHES.

For owners of Lange watches who wish to receive confirmation of the authenticity of their timepieces, the Lange Service Team is the right point of contact. Lange issues certificates for historic Lange watches documenting their origin. For Lange watches crafted after 1994, a different document named proof of origin can be provided upon request.

PROOF OF ORIGIN OF LANGE WRISTWATCHES.

A. Lange & Söhne timepieces are much-coveted collectors’ items among aficionados around the globe. As a result, it is not unusual for counterfeits of these exclusive masterpieces to appear on the market.

To eliminate any doubts whether a timepiece is a genuine product of A. Lange & Söhne, Lange’s master watchmakers will provide proof of origin of Lange wristwatches crafted after 1994.

The proof of origin is provided free of charge. However, the timepiece must be submitted to an authorised Lange dealer and then shipped from there to the manufactory in Glashütte or to one of the service centres for examination.

CERTIFICATES FOR HISTORIC LANGE WATCHES.

On request, the manufactory will issue a certificate for any authentic historic Lange watch. In collaboration with the Glashütte Watch Museum, this makes it possible to remove any doubt whether the historic timepiece is actually a genuine A. Lange & Söhne watch.

Additionally, the certificate identifies the first owner, the date of delivery, and the purchase price paid at the time. A copy of the historic sales documents is also enclosed with the certificate.

To issue the certificate, which is subject to a charge, the master watchmakers of A. Lange & Söhne require at least the movement and case numbers of the pocket watch. More detailed information can be included in the certificate if a photo or the historic timepiece itself can be submitted.
