Just back from Dresden: the 20th Anniversary event will always remain in my memory

 

I will come back later this week with a detailed report... but I just wanted to tell you that the 20th Anniversary event was successful. Of course, the Anniversary watch was unveiled on Friday but I didn't feel that it was the most important, at least for a true fan of the brand like me. The most important was to be able to enjoy the celebration of the first collection which was presented 20 years ago in a room located a few meters from the place of the event. Two of the three persons who symbolized this rebirth were present these last days: Mr Walter Lange of course and Mr Hartmut Knothe. And the late Günter Blümlein was obviously in our minds.

It was a very moving event supported by the perfect organization of the Lange team.

I would like to share with you a few pics I took during my stay in Saxony:

I could shoot the Watches & Wonders collection... including my fav version of the Lange One  20th Anniversary, the blue dial one:

The Langematik Perpetual with black dial is beautiful:

Fortunately, I was supported in my shooting duties by a nice lady:

During a walk in the streets of Dresden, I could see this Tourbillon PLM with a gold bracelet in a boutique:

And here is... the Lange One Tourbillon Handwerkskunst...

Well... just the dial:

The finishings movements and the gorgeous lay-out of the plate:

The black enamel dial creates a lot of shades, sometimes it seems to be deep dark and a few seconds later, it tends to be lighter. A very subtle dial.

And of course... the usual wristshot!

More to come soon...

A big thank to the Lange Team for this great event which will always remain in my memory.
