Mechanical masterpieces at Lake Tegernsee
On 26 and 27 July 2024, the Concours of Elegance Germany took place on the shores of Lake Tegernsee for the very first time. The vintage car event is organised by the hosts of the British Concours of Elegance at Hampton Court Palace that has been sponsored by A. Lange & Söhne since 2018. The Glashütte manufacture is also involved in the German counterpart and exhibits refined watchmaking artistry on this exclusive stage.
An impressive manor dating from the 14th century, nestled in the foothills of the Bavarian alps, boasts a breathtaking view of Lake Tegernsee and brings together the world’s most important collectors. At Gut Kaltenbrunn, about 50 of the most rare and valuable cars can be admired at close range. Another 150 rarities of the Specialist Concours and car clubs will also be part of the exhibition.
Watchmaking artistry meets automotive culture
The unique ambience creates the perfect setting for visitors to explore the intricacies of A. Lange & Söhne watchmaking artistry. A carefully curated selection of timepieces invites enthusiasts on a journey of discovery into the world of the Glashütte manufacture where they can also acquaint themselves with some of the novelties presented at the Swiss watch fair Watches and Wonders.
The awards donated by A. Lange & Söhne epitomise its recognition of the countless hours invested in the preservation of the automotive masterpieces ‒ because the appreciation of trailblazing engineering and traditional artisanship is especially evident in the commitment to conserve this cultural heritage for future generations. This holds true for motorised works of art as well as those that are worn on the wrist.
“Our horological works of art splendidly complement the automotive masterpieces that will be exhibited on the shores of Lake Tegernsee,” emphasises Wilhelm Schmid. “We are honoured to be the Presenting Partner at the Concours of Elegance and we are particularly delighted that it is staged in the country where our manufacture’s roots lie, especially as Germany is world-renowned for its engineering artistry and automotive passion.”
