Foversta delivers a comprehensive report on the Concorso d'Eleganza 2013 Villa d'Este, an exclusive event where A. Lange & Söhne serves as a key partner.

I already posted the pictures yesterday: This WG watch features a hinged caseback with an engraving commemorating the Concorso d'Eleganza. It is not the first time a Lange gets this special case as, for example, the 1815 Walter Lange had a similar caseback.

I would like to finish the report with several movies whose objective was to catch the beauty of the setting and the atmosphere of the event. Ready for a cruise on the Lake Como? Full throttle with a Riva boat! View from my hotel room: Villa Erba: Reaching by boat the Grand Hotel Tremezzo: The skills of the Lange & Söhne engraver: I would like to thank a lot with this final part the Lange team for the perfect organization and the warm welcome. It is an event I will never forget.
Thank you for bringing us along to the Concours! Almost felt that I was there. Just missing one thing, the smell of gasoline in the air. A very thorough introduction to this Concourse. I haven't been to Lake Como in years, but I'm fondly reminded of it through your post. Another sailor (at the Americas Cup) tells me that the winds at Lake Como can be very consistent and thus makes it ideal for leisure sailing certain parts of the year. Thank you for the post! Really enjoyed your post! And some a
