For the second time, A. Lange & Söhne bestows young talent award for next generation of watchmakers
On 7 December 2011, the “F. A. Lange Watchmaking Excellence Award”, sponsored by A. Lange & Söhne, was presented in Dresden for the second time. The winner of the international competition for young watchmakers is the 23 year-old Suliac Monfort from Lycée Edgar Faure in Morteau, France, who was awarded the 10,000 Euro prize by an expert jury for his construction of a power reserve indication based on a Unitas pocket watch movement. The award was overhanded to Suliac Monfort during an event on the occasion of the company’s anniversary by Walter Lange and Lange-CEO Wilhelm Schmid.
