Time for the next give-away on Monochrome to celebrate our 10th anniversary, and this time we can give away 5 sets from A. Lange & Söhne. The beautiful German watch brand, who just launched the renewed Lange 1 Moonphase Day/Night, provided us with 5 x the book “Sign of the Times”, 5 x a Lange notebook and 5 rollerballs.
The book, written by Christoph Scheuring, is a historic novel inspired by the fascinating personality of Saxony’s watchmaking pioneer, Ferdinand Adolph Lange. Quite a few books already covered his accomplishments, however little has been known about the first few years of his life so far. Lange grew up with foster parents who encouraged him in his ambitions and allowed him to study at the newly founded Royal Technical College, the precursor of what is now the University of Dresden. There, Lange was able to develop his scientific talents. Johann Christian Friedrich Gutkaes, who was later appointed clockmaker to the court, quickly recognised the youngster’s exceptional aptitude and became his apprentice master and mentor. What sounds like an entertaining piece of fiction is actually a true story – the perfect subject for a book.
Hamburg-based writer and award-winning journalist Christoph Scheuring pays tribute to Ferdinand Adolph Lange in “Signs of the times”, his historic novel about an exceptional personality. Scheuring embeds Lange’s biography in a portrayal of Saxony’s early industrial history.
Each of the five winners of this give-away will win a copy of the book, a beautiful rollerball, partially made of wood, and a A. Lange & Söhne mathematical notebook.
And again, please answer a few questions to help us learn how we can serve you best, and you will also be subscribing to our daily newsletter. This is our 16th give-away this year, and two more to come…
Entering this give-away is not possible anymore.
