The Deep Track, Ep. 72 - Vintage Cars, A New Zeitwerk & More with Wilhelm Schmid

Send us a text

This week, Wesley Smith joins the podcast to chat with Wilhelm Schmid, the CEO of A. Lange & Söhne. This weekend marks the second edition of the Concours of Elengace Germany, and A. Lange & Söhne continues their partnership with the event in a celebration of the cars, and of course, watches. The German brand is releasing a new Zeitwerk Date alongside the event, utilizing a pink gold case and grey dial for the first time in the collection. 

In this discussion, we chat about Wilhelm’s automotive enthusiasm, his history in and around cars (including a stint traveling with the BMW F1 team), and how it influences his work at A. Lange & Söhne. We also chat about the new Zeitwerk, and what it means for the collection.
