Introducing The Lange 1 Tourbillon Handwerkskunst, Celebrating Lange's 20th Anniversary
Twenty years ago today, A. Lange & S?hne made history for the second time. Almost a half-century after their appropriation, the Berlin Wall collapsed, and Walter Lange slowly began to turn the deserted halls of the Glash��tte manufacture into a hallmark of excellence and admiration.

Well all weekend I been wondering if the service had been carried out and so I made my mind up I would give London AP service a call first thing Monday.
