A. Lange & Söhne Awards Unique 1815 Chronograph At Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este

The Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este is an event that has no equel. What started in 1929 on the banks of Lake Como, with the famed Villa d'Este as its backdrop, has grown into one of the leading shows of vintage cars in the world. The level is extraordinarily high, as only 50 cars, built between the 1920s and 1980s, are welcomed at the event. They represent the finest in automobile history, yet as it is a Concorso, they will also be judged by some of the leading names in the industry. Last night, at an exclusive gala dinner, the winner of the "Best of Show" category, has been awarded a unique version of the 1815 Chronograph by A. Lange & Söhne.

A. Lange & Söhne Presents Three Honey Sweet Delights

With three new creations is A. Lange & Söhne paying tribute to its founder, Ferdinand Adolph Lange, who founded the manufacture 175th year ago. All three watches are part of the 1815 collection, named after his birth year, and feature a honey-gold case. This has become a tradition of the unique “Homage to F. A. Lange” anniversary editions, as ten years ago, they did the same. Despite that they come from the same collection and share the same case material are all the three watches quite different in nature.

A Revolution At Lange & Söhne With A Rubber Strap For The Odysseus

Last year Lange & Söhne surprised us by introducing the Odysseus, not only the brand's first sports watch, but also their first regular-production timepiece in stainless steel. On the dial, it combined a large date with a day-indicator as well, while a subdial for the seconds gave the watch a touch of vintage flair. These ingredients haven't changed for the latest addition to the collection, apart from the fact that it is now crafted from white gold, features a new color dial, and comes on a rubber strap.

A. Lange & Söhne Saxonia Thin And The Purity Of Design

Being understated seems to be a thing that appeals in particular to the German watch brands. A. Lange & Söhne is no exception to this and has made a name for itself, with classic designs in which less is more. The Saxonia Thin is the watch that highlights this in its purest form, with nothing but two elegant hands, aided by twelve hour markers to tell time. But while it seems to be so easy to create a watch so pure in terms of design, brands like A. Lange & Söhne know all too well that the devil is in the details.
