Experience: 20 Years of A. Lange & Söhne. Like a Phoenix Rising from the Ashes in 1994.
No other event has spurred the renaissance of fine watchmaking in Saxony like the presentation of Lange & Söhne’s first four timepieces 20 years ago. Suddenly, as if from nowhere, what must be Germany’s most famous watch brand took the stage of time. The beating heart of a flourishing region, it has long since regained its place among the world’s best watch brands. After the presentation of the quartet of new watches from A. Lange & Söhne on 24 October 1994 in the residential palace in Dresden, the world of fine watchmaking would never be the same. Congratulations to everyone at A. Lange & Söhne for this amazing milestone!
Suddenly, exclusive mechanical timepieces no longer came from Switzerland alone, but also from Saxony once more. Indeed, with their new technical ideas, individual signature construction and supreme perfection of craftsmanship, the four watches on exhibition set a new standard. This historic moment was the culmination of four years of intensive development work.
Experience: 2013 The Year in Review. 12 Amazing Watches in 24 Pictures.
As we wrap up the year and we say goodbye to the old to welcome the new, here are twelve amazing timepieces we reviewed this year to celebrate each month of the year. These 24 images tell a story and capture the best of these fascinating watches. If you want to check the full review for each timepiece, just click on the watch's name.

May the new year bring you and your families lots of health, love, happiness and wealth to buy more watches!!! Happy New Year 2014 from Watch Collecting Lifestyle!!!.
