Marina Göhler: I treat my family as lovingly as I treat “my” watches. Warmth and harmony at home and having fun together are very important to me. That doesn’t mean that I can’t also be strict. Setting rules and drawing the line is important, especially for children. Then they know what’s good and what’s bad. It shapes their character. I also draw the line when I take a close and careful look at an Lange & Söhne. Here, the lines are called “tolerances”. In a way, you could say that I’m shaping the character of our watches, too – as regards their degree of perfection.

	Marina Göhler: A good watch has to be reliable. As does a good person. The outside of the watch should also be immaculate. There’s nothing wrong with feeling a bit of pride when you look at it. When I look at my children, I’m proud too. I hope I can teach them honesty and openness and hope that they will approach difficult tasks with optimism. Another human value matters a lot to me: tolerance. Exactly what I try to prevent in our watches.

	Marina Göhler: There’s no problem at all about that here. I simply go to the colleague’s department. Then we discuss whether the fault can be rectified or if the part has to be replaced. Everyone makes the occasional mistake. Even an experienced master watchmaker at Lange. The only bad thing would be not to admit it.
