A. Lange & Söhne New Blue Dials Presentation in Singapore

Dec 21, 2017,10:59 AM
 

Last week, A. Lange & Söhne presented their new Blue Dial Watches to their Singapore clients and press-members with a crash course in watch photography partnering with Leica.  Both brands, leaders in their fields and crafts from Germany.

A recap of the morning session, starting with a presentation of the Blue Dial Watches followed by a watch photography workshop and then, a nice lunch to celebrate Christmas too.




The venue, 28@ Wilkie.  Props for the workshop were prepared in the cigar-room.




A beautiful Blue Dial Saxonia ...


Leica Singapore prepared 3 models for hands-on session -  Leica Q (Special Edition) and a Black Body, and  Leica CL ( in the middle) and Leica SL.

Gaetan Guillosson, Managing Director Asia Pacific of A. Lange & Söhne introduced the A. Lange & Söhne 1815 Rattrapante Perpetual Calendar Handwerkskunst, limited to 20 pieces.



Followed by the 4 new Blue Dials - Lange 1, Lange 1 Daymatic, Saxonia Automatic and Saxonia.


Next up, the watch photography workshop by a popular local photographer.


Tethering from the camera to the PC and monitor,  he explained how to reduce reflection by blocking and using white cards.


After that he set up for model shoot (with watches) ...

Alas, the beautiful half-hunter, 41.9mm diameter  1815 Rattrapante Perpetual Calendar Handwerkskunst reached me ... but with no Leica available smile


Stunning Caliber L101.1 with relief tremblage engraving on the bridges ...


Beautiful enamel work with engraved Luna, Moon Goddess.



Thanks A. Lange & Söhne for the wonderful afternoon.

Merry Christmas EveryOne!

a good experience for those who seldom use DSLRs. Thanks for viewing. Kong

That's a brilliant idea!

Many of the watch gathering/presentation evidently involved many guests taking shots of the watches... What a great opportunity to educate them taking better photos while potentially selling high end camera gear!!!

Well said...

if you ever know if HK is planning one, please request them to have continuous lights instead of using flashes. Happy New Year! Kong
