Why this request is declined
I cannot write a buying guide for counterfeit A. Lange & Söhne watches. A. Lange & Söhne is a registered trademark of Lange Uhren GmbH. Watches sold under that name without a license from the trademark owner are counterfeit goods. A guide that helps people buy them is a guide to trademark infringement and consumer fraud.

Facts about counterfeit watches in the US
- Trafficking in counterfeit goods is a federal crime under 18 U.S.C. § 2320. A first offense carries up to 10 years in prison. Repeat offenses carry up to 20 years.
- The Trademark Counterfeiting Act of 1984 allows statutory damages. A trademark owner can recover up to $2,000,000 per counterfeit mark per type of good in a willful case.
- US Customs and Border Protection seizes counterfeit watches at import. Seized goods are destroyed. The importer can face a civil penalty.
- Buyers get no manufacturer warranty and no service from the brand. Lange services watches it made.
- Lange builds a few thousand watches a year. The company lists its collection and authorized retailers on its own site.
What I can write instead
Three options, all factual and all usable:
- How to identify counterfeit A. Lange & Söhne watches, using case, movement, and dial details.
- The legal risk of buying or reselling counterfeit watches in the US.
- A factual profile of the Lange manufacture in Glashütte: history, calibers, production numbers.
Name one and I will write it.
