The Concours of Elegance has announced fine watchmakers, A. Lange & Söhne as the headline partner for its 2018 event.

- These are the best watches to invest in
Concours of Elegance will tell the story of craftsmanship, design and timeless luxury, from the motoring pioneers of the late 19th Century through to the very latest high-performance rarities.
But this year, more than ever,, the event will also be a celebration of the finest offerings in the worlds of fashion, art, jewellery and watches.
There's where A. Lange & Söhne comes in, with, among other displays, a true-to-detail, three-meter high model of the Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon.
In front of the sculpture visitors can follow the creation of a Lange movement in close-up, and look over the shoulder of a master watchmaker as he executes his artful work.
It'll be an amazing event to attend if you love watches or classic cars.
