{"product_id":"a-lange-sohne-reinhard-meis-9781851496846","title":"A. Lange \u0026 Sohne - Great Timepieces from Saxony","description":"'Future needs heritage' - these were the words with which German philosopher Odo Marquard summarised his insight that the new world cannot exist without the legacy of the old one. The same words aptly describe the quintessence of Reinhard Meis' work devoted to A. Lange \u0026amp; Sohne, probably Germany's most famous watch brand. With his profoundly detailed knowledge, the author builds a bridge from the grand heritage of the brand in the 19th century to its current eminence at the pinnacle of international precision watchmaking. Reinhard Meis invested eight years to thoroughly revise his standard work dedicated to the horological legend from Dresden. In a fourth, significantly expanded edition, it is now being presented by the Munich-based Callwey publishing house as a two-volume treatise entitled 'A. Lange \u0026amp; Sohne - Great Timepieces from Saxony'. Meis' book describes the complete history of the Lange watchmaking dynasty from Dresden and its timepieces, from the early beginnings in the 19th century to the present.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Reinhard Meis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 185149684X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781851496846\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Broadway Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/16\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 916\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 13.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.40h x 11.60w x 4.00d","brand":"Reinhard Meis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43978717430015,"sku":"9781851496846","price":495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_682f8868-0819-4123-9889-a8bb6f192d7d.jpg?v=1683242749","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-lange-sohne-reinhard-meis-9781851496846","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
