Last month the latest 2018 watches (including the flagship Triple Split) from A. Lange & Söhne arrived Down Under, and Watches of Switzerland got first dibs. The German watchmaker’s sole retailer had its clients as well as members of social media community Lange Nation over for a warm and cosy evening of watches in Melbourne.

The soiree kicked off with a panel discussion, with participants including two of Lange Nation’s founders as well as a quantum physicist (who’s working with Lange on some top secret projects). It was a wide ranging discussion encompassing Lange watches and watchmaking, enjoyable for both the audience and panellists. Here are eight highlights from the session.
