In 1845 Ferdinand Adolph Lange founded a watch factory in Saxony's Glashutte that became world famous for its luxury, high-precision pocket watches. In 1948, Walter Lange, the founder's great grandson, took flight to the West after expropriation of the company by East German authorities. But, after the fall of the Berlin Wall, Lange rebuilt the company with spectacular success! Walter Lange's life reads like a novel: war, wounds, flight, intrigue, and the climb back to the summit of international watchmaking!
