German observe maker A. Lange & Söhne marks the occasion of hiring its 500th employee, with the addition of young watchmaker Nadine Görgl, 19. Miss Görgl, who will lend her skills to the final adjustment section, joins a team of eleven gifted new watchmakers, seven of whom received their watchmaking education from Lange's proprietary watchmaking school. A. Lange & Söhne has experienced a truly notable degree of success since the brand was revived in 1990, following the collapse of the Berlin Wall and German reunification. Walter Lange, greatgrandson of founder Ferdinand Adolph Lange envisioned that the brand would eventually be able to employ somewhere around 100 watchmakers, but customer appetite for exceptional A. Lange & Söhne timepieces has been a happy circumstance that has necessitated a far larger staff. A. Lange & Söhne CEO Fabian Krone stated, "Because of the growing global demand for the timepieces created by A. Lange & Söhne, we expect the need for highly qualified staff to remain over the coming years. And since the number of complicated observe movements is continuing to increase, there will still only be a few thousand replica watches leaving the manufactory each year in the future despite the growing size of the workforce." Currently, Lange is planning to expand its production facilities, a project which will begin this year. The Glashutte view industry, comprising a handful of brands, employs somewhat over 1,000 individuals. Of this number, approximately half are employees of the A. Lange & Söhne firm. The company is particularly proud of its contributions to the cultivation of new watchmakers, noting that more than fifty watchmaking students have graduated from the Lange Watchmaking School, with another twentyfive currently undertaking their professional training.
