Review: the balance spring production – A. Lange & Söhne

The balance spring is the heart of a mechanical watch and as such directly responsible for its rate accuracy. Due to extremely strict tolerances, only very few manufactories are capable of producing their own balance springs. Tino Bobe, Manufactory Director of A. Lange & Söhne, explains the process of our in-house balance spring production, that took over 10 years of development.

Lange & Söhne are crafted from precious materials with the utmost of artisanal skill and only in small editions. They are guardians of a horological culture that is handed down from generation to generation and that began in 1845 with the foundation of the Lange watch manufactory by Ferdinand A. Lange in Glashütte, Saxony. His ambition to define benchmarks with timepieces of the manufactory is still reflected in every single Lange watch.
