// Episode 6 //

Recorded on the same day that Lange launched the new Zeitwerk Minute Repeater in Honeygold, this episode features Ben chatting with Wilhelm Schmid, the CEO of A. Lange & Söhne. The two chat about the evolution of the brand on the eve of its 30th anniversary, the metric by which Lange measures its own success, what it takes to buy one of the brand's extra special limited editions and even some of Wilhelm's favorite non-Lange watches. It's a fascinating chat and a rare chance to better understand the perspective and philosophy guiding the influential and talented German brand.
