In October 2014, Germany celebrated 25 years of being a reunited country.

An historic A. Lange & Söhne pocket watch from the film commemorating the 25th anniversary of Germany’s reunification and the 20th anniversary of the Lange 1

In the same month, A. Lange & Söhne celebrated 20 years since the truly iconic Lange 1 was introduced.

The two events are inextricably tied together; they are historically and emotionally connected.

This film, which premiered on October 25 at an A. Lange & Söhne celebratory event in Dresden honoring the double anniversary, needs little in the way of introduction. Hit the play button, put it on full screen, turn up the volume and allow yourself to be transported to a place where “time came home.”

Note that the lion’s share of this footage had never been seen before. Quill & Pad had the immense honor of presenting it to you in “avant-premier.”
