For decades, Metz meant two things at once: premium televisions built in a small Bavarian town, and the legendary mecablitz flash units found in camera bags around the world. Then came November 2014, and the company that survived a world war and a factory fire was cut in two — with each half meeting a very different fate. This is the full story of Metz: the Baby radio that sold 150,000 units, the hammerhead flash photographers still swear by, the last televisions made in Germany, and what remains of the brand today.
