Portrait LANG & HEYNE Dresden MARCO LANG was born in 1971 as a fifth-generation watchmaker. In his early childhood he used to look over his fathers’ shoulder, who worked as head restorer in the Mathematical / Physical Cabinet (Mathematisch Physikalischer Salon), housing a world famous collection of watches and precision instruments. His early passion for the filigree led him to first of all learn the basics of metal working. In Glashütte he had served as an apprentice in precision mechanic for three years. Again, in this important historic town, Marco was inevitably inspired by the watch-making tradition. After the German reunification Marco found his way to Ihno Fleßner, a watch expert from Northern Germany, where he completed his apprenticeship as a watchmaker. During his years as an assistant, Marco particularly worked on the production of fine precision pendulum clocks. After seven instructive years, he returned to Dresden with his master certificate where he built up his own shop as a watch creator and restorer. True to the family tradition, Marco soon made his mark among German watch enthusiasts. MAR CO LANG Watchmaker´s certificate of Martha (Hartding) Lang 15
