In his laudatory speech, Wilhelm Schmid touched upon the aspect of timelessness in automobile and watch design. “Utopia today. Standard tomorrow. Legend thereafter.

Defining new standards with a forward-looking attitude is equivalent to establishing icons that in time become legends.” The Lange 1 Time Zone “Como Edition” was designed to complement the competition’s most alluring automobile.

Its two time zones symbolise the art of travelling in style. The caseback of the white-gold watch displays the hand-engraved coat of arms of the Concorso d’Eleganza. In homage to the venue, Como represents Central European Time on the rotatable city ring.
