A. Lange & Söhne Watch Repair & Service

Every A. Lange & Söhne watch runs on a movement made in-house in Glashütte, with in-house balance springs since 2003, so most owners use Lange's own service network.

A. Lange & Söhne factory service

• Overhaul: every five to seven years
• New-watch guarantee: 2 years from purchase against material and manufacturing defects, plus a third year for a watch bought from a Lange boutique and registered on Lange's website
• After service or repair: a further 24 months on every part affected
• Prices: Lange publishes price lists for complete services and repairs

To arrange service, contact Lange's Client Relations Center or visit a Lange boutique. Lange also repairs historic Lange watches at its manufacture and refers owners who want a certificate of origin to the German Watch Museum Glashütte, which holds the company's historic records.

Independent A. Lange & Söhne service

Lange has been part of Richemont since 2000, and Richemont supplies spare parts only to repairers it authorizes, a practice the EU General Court upheld in 2017. Factory service is the practical default, and the place for any watch still under guarantee. An independent is realistic only out of guarantee, with a watchmaker who has real Lange experience and can show where genuine parts will come from.

Before you ship, ask

• Is my watch still under Lange's guarantee? If so, use Lange first.
• Have you serviced this Lange caliber before, and how many?
• Where will genuine Lange parts come from?
• Will I get a written estimate before work starts?
• Are you authorized by A. Lange & Söhne for service, and where does that show on A. Lange & Söhne's own website?
• Will the work be done on site, or sent elsewhere? If it is sent on, where does it go, and does the quote add a fee on top of the service center's charge?

Providers on this page were researched against our Standard at the time they were listed and are rechecked periodically. Details can change between checks, so confirm terms, pricing and turnaround directly with the provider before sending your watch.
