Glashütte, April 2012

Reinhard Meis’ book entitled “A. Lange & Söhne – Great Timepieces from Saxony” is a standard work of encyclopaedic precision and a must for every true aficionado of mechanical watchmaking. Now it is also available in English and Italian language.

A writer of acclaimed books on horology, Reinhard Meis invested eight years to thoroughly revise his standard work dedicated to Germany’s most famous watch brand A. Lange & Söhne which is highly coveted by watch enthusiasts all over the world. With his profoundly detailed knowledge, the author builds a bridge from the grand heritage of the brand in the 19th century to its current eminence at the pinnacle of international precision watchmaking.

In December 2011, the standard work was already published in German language by the Munich-based publishing house Callwey as a two-volume treatise. Now the two books with a total of 916 pages and more than 2700 illustrations, mostly in colour, is also available in English and Italian language at book stores. Furthermore, a Chinese version is planned to be ready in May.
