Tourbillon Tales
The elaborate tourbillon complication dates back to the 18th century while recent innovation allows time to be set the second.
A. Lange & Söhne
A. Lange & Söhne urges its eternally curious devotees to “never stand still”, something you can be sure one of its exquisite German watches won’t do either. The brand itself has never stopped persevering; created in 1845 by Ferdinand Adolf Lange, A. Lange & Söhne lost its factory in the Second World War and took an involuntary 40-year hiatus, only to be reborn at the hand of its founder’s great grandson and fellow horology afficionado, Walter Lange, after the fall of the Berlin wall. Despite this, true perfection of engineering and a determination to achieve the seemingly impossible have always prevailed within its peerless timepieces – just look at the industry-rousing Lange 1, Odysseus and Tourbillon models to witness genuine mastery in motion.
Never Stand Still
Walter Lange, founder of the modern-day A. Lange & Söhne, advises that as with watches, you should also “never stand still.”
