A. LANGE & SÖHNE
ALS
A. Lange & Söhne is a German luxury watchmaker which traces back to 1845 when Dresden-born Ferdinand Adolph Lange established his atelier in Glashütte, Saxony, the home of the German horology industry. Lange’s attention to detail and impeccable engineering, typical of German manufacturing, quickly caught the attention of the most discerning clients, including emperors and royals. Lange timepieces were the preserve of the noblest houses and were in high demand. The company has undergone a number of changes and reincarnations since its initial foundation and, today, is a marque in the Richemont stable of luxury brands. The company remains known for its high-quality movements, excellent finishing, and traditional German aesthetic sensibilities making their watches highly coveted amongst horologists and collectors.

RICHEMONT
Rimowa, like so many of our most celebrated luxury brands, began life as a saddlery in the 19th Century, crafting high quality equestrian goods, accessories and leather goods for exacting customers in the age of horse-drawn travel. The company, founded in 1898 by Paul Morszeck and his business partner, Heinrich Görtz, traded as Görtz & Morszeck and quickly developed a reputation for excellence. Görtz left in 1900 and Morszeck would take the company a different direction, focussing on saddlebags, travel trunks and luggage, embracing the advent in aviation and steamship travel. When his son, Richard, joined the business in 1931, changing the businesses name to a play on his own, Rimowa would begin to craft the highest quality luggage, robust and indestructible and inspired by the flight cases used by pilots. This design brief would become the house’s signature and is still very much in demand today. The house was taken over by the luxury goods conglomerate, LVMH, in 2016.

KAFFEEHAUS BAYREUTH / WIENER KAFFEEHAUS
A coffeehouse in the Viennese tradition, 1897 has been a Bayreuth institution since it’s foundation more than a century ago. Located in the beautiful medieval old town of Bayreuth, close to the castle and the UNESCO protected Margravial opera house, the café includes a guesthouse and private roastery, producing bespoke coffee under their own brands and as a private label for other organisations. 1897 (sometimes known as the Kaffeehaus Bayreuth or the Wiener Kaffeehaus) maintains the aura and ambience of the great European coffeehouse and grand café archetype. For tourists and locals alike, this is a must-visit for delicate pastries and confections, sit-down meals or excellent coffee.
