lange concept nova boots

This photo was taken earlier December 6, 2010 during the A. Lange & Sohne 165th Anniversary Celebration Gala dinner party in Dresden, Germany at the Dresden Royal Palace. This image (above) shows the new Lange CEO, Wilhelm Schmid, addressing a group of over 100 journalists from around the world. Schmid will officially take over as the CEO of A. Lange & Sohne at the first of the year. Currently, Jerome Lambert, who also attended this dinner celebration, is the interim CEO of Lange, and the permanent CEO of Jaeger-LeCoultre. Tomorrow, we will be touring the A. Lange & Sohne manufactory, boutique, as well as attending a new product press conference - so expect more photos soon.

Last year, Lange introduced the Zeitwerk. For SIHH 2010, they unveiled the Lange Zeitwerk "Luminous", like the original Zeitwerk, but with an even more contemporary design and, of course, "luminous" (white Superluminova coated jumping hours and minutes). I was surprised to hear that Lange used PVD on any of their watches, however, the PVD coated German silver time bridge probably looks great in-person. Especially on top the dark-tinted sapphire crystal glass that essentially acts as the dial on this Lange masterpiece. Viewing the numbers, in the dim lighting, behind the tinted glass, while the hours and minutes advance, is surely an amazing sight. Press Release PDFRetail is TBDSource: A Lange & Sohne
