Lange & Sohne Private function

[Langnam]

Well, it wasn't too private as I suppose anyone could walk into the AD and request a showing, but hey, I had an official invitation. After being plied with some 12 year old Dewar's (quite nice, btw) I strolled the all the watches. The AD must have had over 100 L&S on display along with a few pre war pocket watches. I was amazed how finely finished the pocket watches were finished. Certainly as fine as the modern watches.
The AD had a flat panel TV showing all aspects of the watches along with the history of the brand, both old and new. I had to chuckle as the AD also sells the other German brand GO. They must have felt awkward about this as the AD had as the speaker the US Lange president. To solve their problems, the AD had a salesman tape over with white paper the GO backlit display. Don't wanna sell a GO by accident at the Lange show!
I didn't buy another Lange, yet. I'm only one third of the way there for the Lange fund, but I do have my eye on the RG Datograph.
As I left, I was handed the L&S goody bag which contained a L&S mouse pad, polishing cloth, a copy of the DVD playing at the AD, along with two books. One is a complete catalog of all watches past and present along with the history and the other is a glossy paperback chock full of photos of everything Lange.
Lange knows how to put on a show!
