German observe maker A. Lange & Söhne marks the occasion of hiring its 500th employee, with the addition of young watchmaker Nadine Görgl, 19. Miss Görgl, who will lend her skills to the final adjustment section, joins a team of eleven gifted new watchmakers, seven of whom received their watchmaking education from Lange's proprietary watchmaking school. A. Lange & Söhne has experienced a truly notable degree of success since the brand was revived in 1990, following the collapse of the Berlin Wall and German reunification. Walter Lange, greatgrandson of founder Ferdinand Adolph Lange envisioned that the brand would eventually be able to employ somewhere around 100 watchmakers, but customer appetite for exceptional A. Lange & Söhne timepieces has been a happy circumstance that has necessitated a far larger staff. A. Lange & Söhne CEO Fabian Krone stated, "Because of the growing global demand for the timepieces created by A. Lange & Söhne, we expect the need for highly qualified staff to remain over the coming years. And since the number of complicated observe movements is continuing to increase, there will still only be a few thousand replica watches leaving the manufactory each year in the future despite the growing size of the workforce." Currently, Lange is planning to expand its production facilities, a project which will begin this year. The Glashutte view industry, comprising a handful of brands, employs somewhat over 1,000 individuals. Of this number, approximately half are employees of the A. Lange & Söhne firm. The company is particularly proud of its contributions to the cultivation of new watchmakers, noting that more than fifty watchmaking students have graduated from the Lange Watchmaking School, with another twentyfive currently undertaking their professional training. The Baume & Mercier ilea watch is a creation of seductive luxury, whose delightful curves symbolize and epitomize the sensuality of all that is feminine. This fine Swiss timepiece in its myriad forms is characterized by its shapeliness, sophisticated craftsmanship and the versatility that enables it to accompany its owner across a range of situations from the playfully casual to the formally elegant. Designed by a woman for other women, the ilea from Baume & Mercier converts the concept of time into an object of pleasure and harmony. The Baume & Mercier ilea watch is presented in a range of tantalizing variants, each of which features a shapely 30mm case, and an extremely resilient sapphire crystal. Dials are crafted in silvered metal or opalescent mother of pearl, some accentuated with diamonds. The bezel captivates the eye with its alluring alternation of satin and polished surfaces, and its curvaceous lines also makes it a fine showcase for the setting of 28 or 46 round brilliant diamonds. A flowing bracelet, whose shapely links compliment the flow of the case design, join the Baume & Mercier ilea timepiece comfortably to its wearers wrist. A finely crafted alligator strap with a triple folding clasp is an equally appealing option, which conveys a particularly dressy quality. Each Baume & Mercier ilea watch is fitted with a Swiss quartz movement, which incorporates a center seconds function and a date display. For optimum convenience, power is supplied by a battery. These extremely precise movements ensure that the timekeeping performance of the ilea is as impressive as its scintillating aesthetics.
