May 20, the world’s largest watch maker Swatch Group’s top luxury brands – official stationed in Beijing Oriental Plaza new ground, opened the first store run. Swatch Group and other brands of Omega, Tissot is different from that in China much to keep a low profile, the lack of stars and the overwhelming endorsement of the ads, never to appear exaggerated expression dazzling. Languedoc is also another German brand in China last year opened its first overseas store, they seem to enter the Chinese market is also very slow very conservative. It is clear that with their origin in Germany, and Germans do things low-key personality in addition to rigorous projection to the automotive industry, in the watch industry is also reflected.

Today’s most well-known watch brand from Switzerland. However, more research into the history of the watch and clock industry, people will discover that the British and the French watch industry also play a vital role, the most well-known brand is Cartier. In addition to Britain and France, from Germany, watch the same process exquisite watch industry occupies an important one seat, which many people do not know. Mercedes-Benz and Porsche may be more representative of the German technology of their choice, wrist watches were easily ignored.

Tragic history of the watch

Many people do not understand the German watchmaking industry, it is possible that the German marketing and publicity for the watch looks indifferent. Germany may not be the world’s largest or most influential persons of the watch industry, but it is definitely one of the oldest. Since as early as the 15th century, the German watchmaking industry began to flourish. 1530, Nuremberg, Germany peterhenlein locksmith created the world’s first pocket watch, Germany in the early 19th century as the world’s major cities of the tab. Languedoc founder Adolf Ferdinando watch the Germany of today’s brilliant achievements and played an important role in the key.

Languedoc Breguet master in the subglottic years, 7 December, 1845 he government loans created in the first workshop production of watches and clocks a.lange & cie, and began to train local workers and the Silver Mine farmers to switch production of watches. in German is “bright metal treasure” means, with long years of exploitation of the gradual depletion of the silver, Languedoc created just want to watch the first workshop to help local mining workers to change jobs to earn a living, but they accidentally create a Germany’s largest industrial clocks. Watchcase related industries such as parts, and other indicators have been set up after the factory for the German watch industry has laid a solid foundation. this small town in Germany has finally developed into a hub of precision watch and clock industry, the production of the clock, pocket watch, wrist watches and navigational equipment, industrial instrumentation popular in Germany, Europe and even China.

In 1868, the son of Richard and Languedoc has joined Amiel will be renamed a.lange & cie Languedoc. German King Wilhelm II visited Turkey in 1898, it will be a pocket watch given to Sudan

Abdul Hamid II. Languedoc table has been recognized and affirmed the royal family, of course, also reflects the quality of the table with elegance. This watch collection is now also a museum in Istanbul.

Lange World War II experience to date so that the most serious blow. Since the factory was the location of the allied forces that the production of munitions for the Nazi watches, it suffered heavy bombing of turns, a lot of watches factory was razed to the ground. After the war, ownership of socialist East Germany, and Soviet troops remaining after removal of the majority of tabulation equipment will be shipped to the Soviet Union.

April 1948, Lange watchmaking factory were classified as state-owned East German government, Languedoc the nature of the family enterprise has been changed by the State to recover. And also with the fate of the other areas in factory 7. During the Cold War, the Western world with complete isolation. East and West Germany until the situation changed after the reunification, the family hei Lange des Nations, president of the gunterblumlein and renaud & papi the help of 4 years to build a new production line. Another brand glashutteoriginal (go, which means original Glashof Timor) in 1994, charges were Heinz Bavarian entrepreneurs in local wells directly naming the name of the town, suggesting a closely linked with the history of the town origin.

Lange and the two brands in today has become a symbol of the soul of the German table, and their development history and the history of Germany has its own clever coincidence: they have separation of the way the world is crowded, but also had the back of failure upon any of the winner. German national character for the determination of the re-emergence of this tragedy has given a ray of color. History and national character by the shape of the rigorous, precise style of Germany, so German watch industry in the possession of high-level tabulation of the important seats.

Classic design and unique

Swiss watches industry-oriented design, often followed the trend of the times, and watch the German R & D focuses on technology, design is more popular classic. once said: “Lange is very typical of watches produced in Germany, is a fancy way of expression is not, is a traditional fine art of watchmaking. Languedoc every table has its own movement Every movement has its own characteristics, or some special function. “German watch manufacturers to rely on Germany’s own strong ability of precision instruments, adding a unique design, began as the designers let Switzerland amazed.

Languedoc form of the production process to date is still to ensure that the traditional hand-made. Table of Languedoc, the luxury is not in the big hands on the dial feet, but movements within the ornamental fishes. After loading the first time after the beginning of re-opened to form a second fine of the assembly, this process involves movement of the engraving, engraving designers will be customized according to each request of the guests watch the specialized content design patterns, patterns of each need to spend about 10 days. Now each of the engraving table

Significantly longer time, usually take 8-10 months to complete a very long production process. In addition to the detailed operation of movement, each table within the small parts also are produced by professional craftsmen, hand-carved, hand-polished. This most traditional and complex tabulation in the last century was the 80′s quartz watch has been the challenge, as the water produced by the fashion of the quartz watch in quiet at the time a serious threat to the survival of high-level mechanical watches, mechanical watches to see up in danger of extinction. At that time, unemployment is not the division of the tab, but fortunately some of the quartz watch did not set off the trend of compromise, was the founder of the German chronoswiss brand gerd-rlang completely in such a period of recession created chronoswiss, such carry forward the fine manual skills, will be carried out in the end of tradition and luxury only a out. Today, the mechanical watch market once again led the trend.

Let innovative design establish its status in the watch industry and make it quickly in the end of the Cold War returned to the ranks of the top watch brands. In 1931, Alfred watchmaking schools and found Breguet Classic Tourbillon coaxial device structure is too complicated, relatively severe wear and tear, so bold in the abolition of a fixed bracket on the tourbillon, and used suspended a wonderful way of comparison, let tourbillon and the pointer looks like suspended in mid-air, on the realization of an innovative tourbillon in precision on a step forward. Suspended Tourbillon Tourbillon triggered a revolution, in order to commemorate this revolutionary innovation, respectively in 1996 and launched in 2001, “Alfred black flying tourbillon 1″ and “Alfred Reid flying tourbillon and 2 “two watches. In 1995, go to launch the “Julius calendar tourbillon limited form,” The global limits the complexity of the performance of 25 tables, a unique design can be used when the pocket watch can also be put on a special table in the After the base into a wrist watch with hand lens. This table started quickly go back to the ranks of the top manufacturers.

Original word in the German watch industry has been repeatedly stressed. Tab in the highly competitive industry, the movement to self-developed enterprises with the largest advantage of no doubt. Lange has always been to stick with a solid sheet of gold (206, -1.34, -0.65%) or platinum watchcase movement and self-made, using the “German Silver” splint material with the Swiss movement of the movement of traditional materials show different texture, in order to uphold the good tradition, and strive to preserve too difficult due to the production and the Swiss watch industry was virtually abandoned by the 3 / 4 plywood design, assembly of the core functions of this complex is still the single mode of operation .

Adhere to these traditional spreadsheet model seems to explain why Germany can watch in history 50 years after the interruption of the rapid re-emergence. Traditional discarded not so easy, heritage is also considered mechanical watches should have the basic quality. Langer’s ceofabiankrone that “there are very clear Languedoc dna, clear brand characteristics, these are the need to watch the quality of tradition.” Perhaps with another Swiss watch company slogan more appropriate publicity to explain that what they watch to pursue, “no one can have a Patek Philippe, you are only in custody for the next generation.” In this regard, the Swiss trade with Germany reached the same table.
