A PASSION FOR CLASSICS
The appreciation of traditional craftsmanship is also reflected in the desire to preserve this in the most authentic way possible. This holds true for automotive masterpieces as well as for those worn on the wrist. Timeless design and exceptional engineering expertise fascinate aficionados of classic automobiles and mechanical watches alike. The prestigious Concours of Elegance competition, in which the merits of historic vehicles are not only judged but also shared, brings both worlds together.
“I am very much looking forward to a further Concours in a country that is highly esteemed for its engineering prowess and renowned for its automotive passion”,
explains Wilhelm Schmid, CEO of A. Lange & Söhne.
Automotive and horological works of art on the shores of Lake Tegernsee
While the royal grounds of Hampton Court Palace set the impressive stage for the exquisite classic cars exhibited during the British Concours, its German counterpart shines the headlights on around 200 of the most splendid vintage cars – on the shores of Lake Tegernsee, against the magnificent backdrop of the Alps. The historic Gut Kaltenbrunn is the perfect location for hosting the meeting of the international classic car community.
“After last year’s successful premiere, it is a pleasure for us to once again support this spectacular event in our manufacture’s home country,” explains Wilhelm Schmid. “As a partner from the very beginning, we are proud to be part of the Concours, as it brings together enthusiasts with a penchant for exceptionality as well as an appreciation of authentic craftsmanship and technical finesse. Here, the parallels between classic automobile culture and traditional precision watchmaking become evident.”
