A World-Class Exhibition On A. Lange & Söhne And Glashütte Watchmaking By Phillips And Dr. Helmut Crott Comes To New York
A world-class exhibition showcasing the illustrious history of A. Lange & Söhne and Glashütte watchmaking is set to take place from December 3 to 5 at Phillips' New York headquarters. Curated by Dr. Helmut Crott, the exhibition features remarkable pieces from his personal collection, highlighting the craftsmanship and innovation rooted in Glashütte's watchmaking tradition. Visitors can expect to see significant timepieces such as the 1911 A. Lange & Söhne Grande & Petite Sonnerie pocket watch and the 1820 Johan Christian Friedrich Gutkaes pocket watch, offering a rare glimpse into the technical mastery and artistic design that define this renowned horological heritage. The exhibition not only celebrates the legacy of Ferdinand-Adolph Lange, who passed away 150 years ago, but also emphasizes the broader significance of German watchmaking in the luxury market, often overshadowed by Swiss brands. With a focus on in-person experience, the event aims to deepen attendees' appreciation for the art of watch collecting. Open daily from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM, the exhibition invites enthusiasts and the curious alike to explore the intricate world of Glashütte watches and engage with their rich history.
