Yesjb shares a captivating photo essay from a visit to the A. Lange & Söhne manufacture in Glashütte, Germany. The post highlights the exceptional hospitality and organization of the event, which also included a memorable trip to Leica in Wetzlar. This account offers a glimpse into the world of German precision manufacturing, connecting watchmaking with optical instrument craftsmanship.
I know there have been a few other
postings on this trip, but here are a few photos from mine.
First, I have to congratulate Lange und Soehne, its staff and organizers for a
first class visit. Everything was wonderful, the accomodations, the food, the
staff we met at the Manufacture and of course our host, Gaetan Guillosson. It
was also a great pleasure to meet some of the like-minded Lange aficionados
with whom after only a few days seemed like old friends. Ironically there were
also a few Vacheron collectors, but that should be no surprise.
Here are some photos from the trip.
We also travelled on to Wetzlar (where I was born) to visit another great
German manufacturer of fine precision instruments. (as you will see).





















You were perfectly welcomed by the Lange team, I'm glad to see some familiar faces in your pictures! Thanks! Fx
pictures of familiar faces & places. ALS & Leica at the same trip, this is just perfect. Oliver

Beautifully photographed, which is no surprise to me. The Leica leg of the trip must also have been fascinating. It is interesting to see the overlap in collecting VC and Lange. Best regards, respo
Lange was first class all the way. Joseph
