Jaquet-Droz`s founder, PierreJaquet-Droz was born in LaChaux-de-Fonds in Swiss. His family was well-off and after graduation from university, he had already gradually gained fame in Neuchatel, the watch-making center at that time. After then, PierreJaquet-Droz with his son Henri-LouisJaquet-Droz and his student Jean-FredericLeschot together made three mechanical dolls and in 1744, they were showed to the public. The three dolls were so complex and they could move like writing, drawing pictures and even playing music, and were called the great miracle in the human technology history.

PierreJaquet-Droz was also good at making SingingBird and watches. As early as 1738, he had opened its first watch-making store in the LaChaux-de-Fonds. And in fact, Jaquet-Droz made the world`s first watch in the 18^th century, a women watch of Jaquet-Droz with a strap.

Patek Philippe has large number of customers, many of whom are renowned figures, including Queen Victoria, Tchaikovsky and Albert Einstein, and it is the best love of the nobles. Even having a Patek Philippe watch becomes a sign of noble enthusiasts. The elegant art of realm and expensive materials build the enduring brand effects. About two years ago, Patek Philippe once again broke a world auction record of antique watches. A custom watch for an American banker had a bid price of 11 million U.S. dollars. The watch has 24 kinds of features, takes three years to design and five years to finish making it. Eight years of production time, is just a best evidence of Patek Philippe`s strong boutique awareness. And even now, Patek Philippe still maintain the tradition of making one hand-made watch every year, which is passed down from 100 years ago, and it now worth about 5 million dollars.

as a poster child to watch, A. Lange and S German luxury? EST. To help you all I’m going to the first aid with the pronunciation

the brand name, which I have recently mastered. Phonetically, it is “oh und Zoneh of Lhangeh.” For convenience I shall omit

the umlaut over the o in S? To EST but it should be there. The student watches Lange at the highest levels of luxury is the fact that

they design and manufacture their own watch movements, apply the highest levels of quality in every stage of manufacture and

the process of decoration, and use only materials of the highest quality in every show they produce.

My real journey started on ordering Glashutte Dresden, a small town known mainly for the manufacture of watch. In the small confines

two streets are several major manufacturers of watch. A. Lange and Sohne was the first of them back in 1845 when the company was originally

founded by Adolf Lange ( s? the EST in the brand name means the son, as he was later known as the Lange and Co. were succeeded by Richard Lange

Adolf Lange ’s son). After the Second World War, the sector has been appropriated by the communists and the government has succeeded all plants actually

termination of private business. However, shortly after the reunification of Germany in 1989, A. Lange and Sohne were back, and rejuvenated

To be the best and most exclusive watch manufacturer from Germany. In 1994, after 4 years of development (yeah, it takes that long), released Lange

its first new collection of watches. The flagship model was the Lange 1, a highly – successful, but controversial song at the beginning of the sound

design. Today, the Lange 1 is an icon of Lange Uhren, and one of its best-sellers. Each of the watches “back” of an original Lange 1994

used the individual tends to have developed and built for movement of each watch. The theme behind all the watches was to

model and artisanship of pocket watches (which Lange produced at the origin before the second world war) and places them in wristwatch.

They should watch for those who could appreciate them more, and have the means to afford what has been carefully designed to be

the best.

Getting closer to Glashutte Dresden I learned that the area is known for a history of cutting and porcelain timber. In the eighteenth century,

Fort Augustus, the rule of Saxony then (which is located Glashutte), want to bring Chinese art of porcelain making in

Germany, and were made with great success. Today, Meissen porcelain is one of the best in the world. The timbering of the area is also

impressive, with some modern furniture built the most beautiful I have ever seen. They seem as if perfection is in the blood of

people, and have been for hundreds of years. This course is part of the German work ethic: “slow, regular, and perfect the first time” (As

I like to say).

A. Lange and Sohne has a boutique shop in Dresden, located in the heart of the old sector. While you ‘d do not know as a new visitor

Dresden, the majority of historic buildings are only now viewable again. 1945 was a bad year for Dresden during the war, with many

it being bombed or burned. Almost immediately after the war, and during the communist rule, the reconstruction is slowly coming into force. It was not until

German reunification after the restoration process in Dresden has become much more serious. A. Lange and Sohne is a name you can find anywhere

Dresden, particularly in the museum vault Green placed near the shop in what was the royal house. What you find in Dresden is a

dynamic mix of architecture and personality that combines medieval Gothic buildings with the model of eighteenth-century celebration.

The Green Vault is located near the clock tower which has great historical significance for A. Lange and Sohne because the original founder

be learning here in the main manufacturer Friedrich Gutkaes watch, and began his idea for a fabrication. A short distance away is the famous five

Early clock placed in the theater of the Semper Opera of which is also attached to A. Lange and Sohne ’s history of having been created in Gutkaes “manufactury

in 1841. These places are in Dresden, but not when A. Lange and Sohne began. Lange wanted to write a new region while Dresden was

tight Manufacturers showed. Eyes were placed about 45 minutes south of Glashutte near the mountains of ore. It was a poor region in

time. Here, Lange saw the potential in people as watch manufacturers due to their homes on looms and weaving. The attention to detail can easily tiny

be transferred to other skills with the right direction. Glashutte today is a different place that was completely transformed by them

actions in the 19th century. What was so amazing to me is that after all these years, and seen all the other things that have changed,

core elements of watches and clocks remain the same. This type of tradition qu’A. Lange and Sohne relates using the term

Tradition.

As you drive by the museum Glashutte watch on the way to buildings A. Lange and Sohne along the streets with charm. Smoke pipe chimneys As

roof snow-striped scratch the hills. It was quite the eyes of history book. I noted how Lange is devoted to the city and the region

this matter. Sponsorships of philanthropic events, Lange is one of the people and seems to contribute regularly. They do this because

people here are Lange. More than 500 employees now call Lange ‘workforce of s, and the retention rate among employees is legendary. Apart

international sales of their watches obvious, everything is located in Germany. Saxony It ’s have the master clock, born and multiplied.

the image of advertising A. Lange and Sohne setting reference Saxony is located in the airport of Dresden, and sums up a separate

feature of the mark. Glashutte in next to the plant is a long banner on a barrier that details the history of the brand to go for drivers.

You can ‘t read in a passage, but the point is to educate people of the country while driving by on a daily basis – maintaining a sense of locals

pride.

On arrival at the factory, the tour starts soon. My guide is not a manufacturer of watch, but can answer every question I have, no matter

how technical or obscure. Just kidding about how he must combine two jobs as a manufacturer of watch. No matter your position at Lange Uhren, you are well informed online

how things work there, and which are the precious watches. The situation is immediately impressive modern architecture specific to

the scent of fresh watches.

The company is divided into several buildings all located near one another. The buildings themselves are antiques, carefully preserved and

completely modernized inside. In some departments rely machines alongside the machines more than 100 years. Certain traditional technical

conditions are better performed on the manual machines that are no longer made. You get the feeling that although the complex

modern, purpose is to create the most focused and functional arrangement of tradition for watch manufacturers and c’aucune technique or process is

too expensive to get that perfect result. Why are lab coats manufacturers use to watch? I ask. Most of the time because of tradition, and it helps the subsistence

their clothes clean, but mostly because of tradition. Something in this report relieves me. In the next part of the A. Lange and Sohne shoot you

insurance, I will discuss the process of plant shows more detail because it is a thorough process and I was given but only a preview. So

far the atmosphere is unpretentious and quiet. It feels like it would be a good place to work, with abundant smiles and cheerful attitudes.

View the images on the walls in each chamber are movements shows, parties, or watches made. They are reminders

what is important for people with Lange. These people really appreciate what they do, and take a huge sense of accomplishment and pride in

the final result. After that, I will discuss what goes into everything you can and can ‘t see in a show A. Lange and Sohne.
