Glashütte, 29 July 2009
On his 85th birthday Walter Lange, founder of Lange Uhren GmbH, looks back on his life's work in conversation with journalist Christoph Scheuring.
Is your 85th birthday an opportunity for you to take stock?
To be honest, my whole life long I’ve lived as if I was going to go on forever. So I see
no reason to take stock at this time.
But no-one lives forever.
Of course, that's right. However, there’s no sense in darkening life by brooding on your
own mortality.
So what do you do instead?
I enjoy my life. Amongst other things, I travel a lot, for instance to the Salzburg Festival.
Also, a year and a half ago I fulfilled a long-held dream and bought a 1971 Mercedes 280 SL “Pagoda”, which I have already driven to Lake Maggiore and Glashütte.
