<h1 style="display:inline;font-size:12px;"> A. Lange & Söhne Military Watch |Wants & Desires</h1>
In my world, there aren’t many things better than a military watch. The fantastic Hodinkee featured this vintage 1940’s pilots watch from German watch maker A. Lange & Söhne. I have a personal connection with Lange, since I helped with their PR at one of my previous jobs. Near the end of WWII the A. Lange & Söhne factory in Saxony was bombed and completely destroyed by the Allied war machine, forcing the closure of the company for nearly fifty years. The brand lay dormant until its revival in the early 1990’s by Switzerland’s Richemont Group. So this pilot’s watch is one of the last remaining time pieces from the old German factory and is something you won’t see five of your friends wearing, that’s for sure. More on the watch here.
