Fun with Ampersands...
Look closely at the "A. Lange & Söhne" logo as it appears in various places on Lange's watches, in Lange's printed and other marketing materials, etc. You'll notice that sometimes the ampersand (the "&" symbol) has a flat top, while at other times it has a rounded top, as follows:
See if you can figure out when Lange uses the flat top versus the rounded top.

Big migraine
I nose about to intern, i did not find this graphics, neither in the 30 '' esperluettes de la typographie'' Perhaps it is an exclusive ''Lange''
I'm not sure how accurate this is, but here's what I've observed...
