The elite in classic automotive engineering is reconvening on Lake Como from 20 to 22 May. Splendid vintage cars with fascinating backstories will be vying for the favor of the jury and the spectators in eight categories. A. Lange & Söhne
has sponsored the elegance competition since 2012; it is considered to be one of the most traditional and significant events of its kind. Every car recounts its own exciting story in the rambling park of the Villa d'Este. The 1952 Pegaso Cupula is one of them. Last year, it won the prize for the most stunning design.
This year, in the category “Daring to be different – designs that pushed the envelope”, the show will highlight examples of particularly bold, often controversially debated and yet decidedly trailblazing innovations in the domains of design and technology. The Lange 1 Time Zone “Como Edition”, famous for its prominent asymmetric dial, has been created especially for the Concorso.The innovative home-time and time-zone display expresses the mechanical prowess with which the manufactory continues to thrill watch enthusiasts and collectors. The hand-engraved caseback of the special-edition model in white gold featuresthe Concorso’s coat of arms. On the city ring, Como stands for Central European Time. Lange CEO Wilhelm Schmid will personally present the winner of the ‘Best of show’ category with the unique timepiece on the occasion of the awards ceremony on 22 May.
