Alkis Update... Thu, 25 October 2012 21:49 Go to previous message


Hi All,

I received permission from Alkis (Lange USA repair watchmaker) and his wife to post this update.

As many of you know, Alkis and his family have been spending a lot of time and emotional energy helping one of their sons recover from a sports injury. Thankfully, their son has improved considerably and is continuing on an upwards trajectory. And we should commend Lange, our favorite brand, for their amazing gesture: Lange made an unsolicited, part-time offer of employment to Alkis's son (which he accepted) to help him occupy his time as he recovers and awaits his return to college. How many other companies would do such a thing? Kudos to Lange, and continued best wishes to Alkis and his family!
