Lang & Heyne

Lang & Heyne is a manufacturer of luxury wristwatches based in Dresden, Germany.

History
Marco Lang began as a precision mechanics apprentice and later, after the German reunification allowed him to, spent a further seven years in horology study. In 2001, he and his friend Mirko Heyne formed Lang & Heyne in Dresden. Whilst their partnership ended in 2003, when Heyne joined Nomos Glashütte, the favourable terms of their split allowed the company name to remain. In 2005 Lang, a fifth-generation watchmaker, was accepted as a member of Académie Horlogère des Créateurs Indépendants.

Models
Current models as of 2015 include Augustus, Köning Johann, and Friedrich August I. The names are all chosen from the Fürstenzug, a large 19th-century mural in Dresden depicting rulers of Saxony, which Lang personally visits on completion of each design.
