The Driving Seat
The best moment of the trip was when Schmid acted as Schmid's navigator. He soon gave up the tour book and switched to Google Maps. Schmid raced to Lake Como in order to make it to dinner for his VIP customers. He was a great driver and put his AC through its paces. I also learned about his dislike for German drivers (every time traffic came to an abrupt halt it was because of someone with a Teutonic license plate). This was made clear when a group of Porsche drivers decided to pass us in a blind corner with almost disastrous results. And, of course, his passion for Lange. We had a lot of fun discussing the famous steel Lange 1 replica watches - which would eventually appear on Ben Clymer, Hodinkee founder - which was one of 20 made for Orologia Pisa Milan. There was also one steel Pour Le Meritein and oneesteel Double Split.

This is a watch with a huge-ass barrel and runs consistently for 31 consecutive days.
