Haute horlogerie manufacture A. Lange & Söhne has opened its first stand-alone store in Tokyo, located in Ginza 6-chrome, Namiki Street. This is the brand’s third stand-alone store, after Dresden and Shanghai.

With its peerless reputation – one of the brand’s most famous fans is none other than watchmaking legend Philippe Dufour – and extremely limited production, A. Lange & Söhne watches are amongst the most sought-after in the world.

In the Tokyo store, visitors will be able to not only buy watches but also to get a glimpse of life at the manufacture in Glashütte, Germany. In partnership with regional retailers The Hour Glass, the Tokyo store follows the “state-of-the-art tradition” ethos of A. Lange & Söhne, right down to a replica of Dresden’s Semper Opera’s five-minute clock.
