A. Lange & Sohne Exhibitions: Artistic Mediums Illuminate Saxon Fine Watchmaking

Following up its January presentations at the 2009 SIHH exhibit in Geneva, German watch manufacture A. Lange & Sohne will utilize a variety of artistic mediums to illustrate the comprehensive mastery of its skilled watchmakers and artisans in venues around the world.  Among the methods used to showcase A. Lange & Sohne craftsmanship include classical art forms such as sculpture and painting, in addition to the most advanced multi-media presentations.

The new hand-wound movement of the 40mm Lange 1815 watch is the focus of "Explored-View Time", an exceptional reproduction of Lange craftsmanship in an exploded three-dimensional format 25 times larger than actual size.  Painstaking attention to detail ensures that this enlarged model accurately reproduces the surface finishing and decorations which are a signature element of A. Lange & Sohne manufacture calibers.  

"David vs. Goliath" is an installation that uses the driving train of a racing cycle alongside the complex fusee-and-chain mechanism of A. Lange & Sohne's new Richard Lange Pour le Merite watch to illustrate the similarity of function, despite the differences of scale.  "Richard Lange's Fingerprint" is a micro-installation that utilizes the same material from which the in-house produced Lange balance springs are drawn; it pays respect to the significant role that Richard Lange played in the development of hairsprings so crucial to all manner of mechanical watches.  

A. Lange & Sohne will make use of these exhibits at a variety of brand events held throughout 2009.
