A. Lange & Söhne has been a sponsor of the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este, a classic car festival held on the shores of Lake Como in Italy, since 2012. This year, A. Lange & Söhne once again produced and donated a special edition of the 1815 Chronograph to the winner of the "Best of Show" award.

Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este 2022
This year's Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este was held on the shores of Lake Como, as usual. The most beautiful classic cars from around the world gathered together to compete for beauty, elegance, and the finest mechanical and mechanical ingenuity.
The exceptional aesthetics of these classic cars, as well as the skill and craftsmanship put into their engines and other mechanisms, are equally evident in the special edition 1815 Chronograph that A. Lange & Söhne will present to the owner of the Best of Show winning car.
It is precisely because of this shared philosophy and values regarding craftsmanship that the presentation of timepieces to the owners of winning cars by A. Lange & Söhne CEO Wilhelm Schmidt is one of the highlights of the classic car competition.
The winner was a 1937 Bugatti 57S, which was a hit with both the judges and the general public.
The owner of the winning car, Andrew Pisker, could not hide his joy as he held the 1815 Chronograph, which features a white gold case with a hand-engraved open-close case back, specially made for this award, and a solid pink gold dial.
This award, donated by A. Lange & Söhne, was established as a reward for the time and effort that owners have put into preserving their classic cars for future generations. As such, it will resonate with the owners of winning cars who share the same passion for classic cars, as they sense the effort and passion that has gone into watchmaking in the special edition 1815 Chronograph by A. Lange & Söhne.
