Opening Fair Held from Friday, July 30 to Tuesday, August 31, 2021
The "A. Lange & Söhne Boutique Osaka Shinsaibashi" spans 67.75 square meters, with its highlight being the Experience Library. This area, showcasing items that tell the story of the manufacture's history, serves as an entryway into the world of A. Lange & Söhne. The words "Never Stand Still" inscribed on the wall welcome guests. This motto belonged to Walter Lange, the founder of the reborn Lange, who passed away in 2017. Additionally, two separate spaces have been created for individual customer consultations by appointment: a VIP area and a private lounge.
Details such as the metal decorative bands integrated into the walls express the hand-finished detailing found on A. Lange & Söhne timepieces. The edges of the decorative bands are chamfered at 45 degrees, similar to the German silver bridges of the in-house calibers, and their surfaces are polished to a high sheen. Thus, the quality, functionality, and permanence of A. Lange & Söhne are reflected even in the minutest details of the interior design.
Within this special space, one can view rare and exclusive timepieces, including boutique-exclusive models. For instance, the "1815 Chronograph" boutique edition, with its striking blue dial against a silver case, and the "Triple Split," the world's first mechanical rattrapante chronograph capable of measuring and comparing two times simultaneously for up to 12 hours, are among the models available only at the boutique.
"A. Lange & Söhne Boutique Osaka Shinsaibashi" is scheduled to open on Friday, July 30, 2021. We look forward to enjoying a refined watch selection with its extensive collection and the advice of knowledgeable staff.
