Up close: The intricate art of engravingA. Lange & Söhne

Hand-engraved and one-of-a-kind timepiece: The 1815 Chronograph for the Concorso d´Eleganza Villa d´Este.

As with the creators of the magnificent vintage vehicles presented at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, the watchmakers of our partner A. Lange & Söhne have consistently demonstrated a pioneering spirit, pushing the boundaries of design and mechanics. These resemblances between the masterworks of motion and their timepieces will unite aficionados of both worlds at Lake Como.

Lange-CEO Wilhelm Schmid will once again present the “Best of Show” award with a unique version of the 1815 CHRONOGRAPH. The hand-engraved hinged cuvette bearing the Concorso crest is the most distinctive feature of this one-of-a-kind timepiece in white gold and solid pink gold dial. The winner’s watch and an exclusive selection of A. Lange & Söhne timepieces will be showcased in the Villa d’Este lobby.

The hand-engraved balance cock with a floral pattern is a hallmark of every A. Lange & Söhne timepiece. This unique feature bears the personal signature of the engraver, making each piece a unique entity.

Visitors to the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este are invited to witness the intricate art of engraving up close in the Villa d’Este lobby. An A. Lange & Söhne engraver will be sharing the various methods employed for the distinct components of the timepieces.
