For the fifth time now, A. Lange & Söhne is taking part in the parade of automotive works of art on Lake Como.

The elite in classic automotive engineering is reconvening on Lake Como from 20 to 22 May. Splendid vintage cars with fascinating backstories will be vying for the favour of the jury and the spectators in eight categories. A. Lange & Söhne has sponsored the elegance competition since 2012; it is considered to be one of the most traditional and significant events of its kind.

Last year, it won the prize for the most stunning design. As extravagant as they are rare, Spanish-made Pegaso coupés continue to impress aficionados with their intrepid combination of colour, finesse of form and technology.

This year, in the category 'Daring to be different – designs that pushed the envelope', the show will highlight examples of particularly bold, often controversially debated and yet decidedly trailblazing innovations in the domains of design and technology.

If the LANGE 1 TIME ZONE 'Como Edition' – created especially for the Concorso – were a car, it would rank among the favourites in this category.

The prominent asymmetric dial of the LANGE 1 startled the world when it had its debut in 1994, making the reborn A. Lange & Söhne brand famous overnight.

The innovative home-time and time-zone display expresses the mechanical prowess with which the manufactory continues to thrill watch enthusiasts and collectors. The hand-engraved caseback of the special-edition model in white gold features the Concorso's coat of arms.
