A PASSION FOR CLASSICS
A. Lange & Söhne CEO Wilhelm Schmid is convinced that cars and watches are far more than the sum of their properties and functions. Behind every invention and design are passionate people.
He knows from his own experience that choosing the right car or the perfect watch is a very emotive matter:
“My two passions in life are cars and watches, so the prospect of displaying our timepieces in this beautiful and historic space alongside over sixty of the most amazing cars ever created is a dream come true. Speaking from experience, I know that there is a great deal of common ground between car and watch collectors: ultimate craftsmanship, technical innovation and unrivalled heritage are the key values of both vintage cars and our approach to watchmaking. That’s why this partnership between A. Lange & Söhne and the Concours of Elegance is such a perfect fit.”
This is why A. Lange & Söhne supports the Concours of Elegance at Hampton Court.
