Lang Had access
In Response To: So it's Brunner vs. Lang??? ()

: Hi all,

: first of all I have to apologize not having
: named my source in my posting: It is in fact
: the book Alistair refers to: Gerd-R. Lang -
: Reinhard Meis, Chronographs, Wristwatches,
: the time to stop, published by Callwey, 1992
: (not continued). I myself call it the
: 'Chrono-Bible'...

: Gerd-R. Lang, owner of Chronoswiss,
: watch-maniac and chrono specialist and
: Reinhard Meis wrote this compendium on
: chronographs and focusses on the technical
: specialities and the chrono-movements, the
: patents several watch manufacturers
: launched, but not on the brands in their
: collectivity.
: On the other hand: Gisbert L. Brunner and Marc
: Sich, authors of (TAG Heuer) Mastering Time,
: Edition Assouline 1997, which is dedicated
: to (TAG-)Heuer. Gisbert L. Brunner is one of
: the best known authors on watches.
: Who is right??
: To cut a long story short...only the concealed
: (?) Heuer-archives could tell us the truth.
: I'm quite sure: any Heuer maniac would give
: the right arm to get access to this
: archive....if it exists(?)

: Keep on hunting

=======================
As he worked for Heuer before the sale and was and still had lot-o- Heuer stuff as well as a nice car guy
But books do have errors, I have seen them in both these books.
