The exhibition focuses on details that potential collectors may have missed.
“A lot of what we’ve been working on really hasn’t been spoken about before,” James Marks, international head and director of Phillips Perpetual, told. “We’ve gone into great details, to go as far as studying hallmarks on the casebacks of very early solid caseback watches from the mid-nineties or the first production watches that Lange released following the relaunch of the brand.
Looking to walk out with some wrist candy from the German watchmaker? The good news is Phillips Perpetual will also have 20 timepieces from the brand available for private sale. They include everything from a gem-set platinum Datograph reference 815.036 and a blue-dial Lange 1 reference 191.028 to modern examples such as a first-generation steel Odysseus .
The fanfare over the elite German watchmaking house was solely a passion project for Marks. He says the company was not involved in sponsoring the exhibition. “It’s a brand that I personally love,” says Marks. “I love the quality of the watches they produce. They have a very unique design aesthetic.”
