- Here is my review of the Lilienthal Berlin Chronograph Blue Orange watch - It will win you over too, I am sure.
Note that they generously gave me this watch to review, but note that they did not influence my opinion in any way. On the contrary, they insisted that I do an honest review. Enjoy!

I own four Lilienthal (pronounced with T sound, not a TH sound, as I was corrected by German speakers) I have no issues, they are very well made. Many people have tried to box them in as a fashion watch. They are not, one doesn't have to spend thousands to have a smart good looking watch that tells time more accurately than any mechanical watch.
Totally agree!
And thanks for the correction on the pronunciation 🙂👍🏼
Yes, from my knowledge of German, it's something like Lily-en-taal.
The pronunciation is actually more like "Lee-lien-tal" with the "t" sound of the "th" as was pointed out correctly before. But in English I would think it's totally fine to pronounce it like you did. It's not necessary to try to pronounce it in German. It sounds a bit funny sometimes haha! But that's okay!
@@mrfinlay7516 I own 12 of these watches, all but two purchased second hand. I am a true lover of the brand. They have now introduced a new line featuring Japanese movement Miyota. Japanese movements are very fine, nothing wrong with them. I purchased the watches because of the award winning German unique design, and Swiss movement. For a guy like me with limited money, it is an opportunity to own something really especial even if they are not to everyone 's taste.
The new line looks like any other line, I hope this was not a mistake for the maker.
W H Y IT COSTS 383 .- DOLLARS , WHILE IN EUROPE IS ONLY 199 ,- €uro ?!?!!!! - IT WAS 176- IT IS ONLY 264 .- CANADIAN DOLLARS !!!!

Nice! You'll love it even more "live"!
Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching.
How’s the watch ?

François you are a man of exquisite taste. Excellent review. Hope the watch is holding up after 1 year.
Thank you for your kind words.
Yes, it is holing up. On top of that, I have another of their watches for which a review is soon to come out ... that one, however, is not as lucky ... stay tuned, you'll see why 😌
Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching.
I own two of these...the Blue/Orange and Red/Silver Huxleys both with mesh bands. They are beautifully designed and quality made, and they are two of the nicest watches in my collection. At less than $300 Canadian each, they are also quite affordable. And to hell with resale values, these are not for snobs, but normal people who enjoy a quality product.
You said it all ... nothing to add here!
By the way, I have another review coming up soon for the "L1" grey. Love 'em both.
Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching!
Since my previous post, I have ordered another one...Black and Rose Huxley....they are addictive..
@@TOURMANBOB Ha, ha, ha, 😂👍🏼
Yes, indeed ”addictive” is the right word.
I’m part of their email newsletter and see fantastic models every time … it’s tough to resist 😫

I love the colour they have given the stainless steel case and the mesh band!
Indeed! That colour is the reason I got so many compliments on the watch 😎
Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching!
Classy watch... Very nice. Great design and love the bracelet. 👍
Thanks for your comment.
It’s still one of my favourite ones.
Thanks for watching! 😃👍🏼
A great watch. I love their design and affordable price despite great look and quality. I've ordered 4 L-B during their 35% sale!
Oh! 4 of them! 😃👍🏼
Enjoy them all!
Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching 😄
I just got one. Meteor 2. Beautiful. Comfortable. Works well
Thos meteor dial are 😍👍🏼
Thanks for watching.
Just an update to my previous post. I now own four of the Huxley model watches but I have had to send two of them back for repair under warranty, One won't respond to a battery change, and the other, the minute is loose and flops around. Yet my el cheapo Chinese watches have been working for years with not a problem.
I can't help but wonder about the quality control on this make of watch with two out of four needing repair. . I will report back how they handle my warranty repair claims, which is an important part of any companies true measure of worth.
Hi @@TOURMANBOB, I truly appreciate this update. Keep me/us posted.
Hola he comprado este reloj, como se ilumina en la oscuridad?? Muchas gracias ya lo he comprado y si es así,, ahora tengo otra duda, que no se poner la fecha, me lo podrías explicar,, gracias
Hola, simplemente hay que iluminar la esfera con una luz brillante. La pintura luminiscente brillará. En mi vídeo, si miras el minuto 10:13, verás cómo brilla. Espero que esto le ayude. ¡Gracias por verlo!
Juat bought it 35% off (white dial). It's my third from this brand 👍
Very nice! Lucky to have gotten that discount!
I have a “L1” model version review that will come out soon on my channel. Is that one of the ones you already have?
@@timetowatch_francois I have a deep Green Dial L1 and also a Black Dial Huxley.
@@spg5658 Hey, can you tell me how their shipping works? I've been trying to contact them to find out. I live in an apartment, but I don't have a buzzer for my door currently, so I don't want it to be left outside the door and potentially be stolen.
@@brando3342 Mine was actually USPS shipping from Philadelphia. How do you usually get USPS packages? Are they left outside that door ?
@@spg5658 Okay thanks. Sometimes when they can get in the locked building door, it's left outside my apartment door. A few times my Amazon packages have been left outside the building door in the mailbox area. And other times, they take it back to the post office and leave a notice to go pick it up. Hard to say what will happen. I imagine USPS would likely take it to the post office.
I have a mesh bracelet on a DeTomoso, which is so comfortable! I think that they look great on the right watch. I think that a L-B is in my future. Thanks!
I truly hope so b/c you’ll love it even more when you see it “live”.
Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching.
Is it noisy? Can you here it ticking?
@seoguru5826 - I just took a closer look and it confirmed my initial thought; I can barely hear any ticking. I really have to get it close to my ear before hearing a faint ticking sound.
Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching 🙂👍🏼
@@timetowatch_francois Nice. I had hoped it would run quietly. Thanks!
Lol..."zero axel"
@@kleinball - I have a Timex quartz watch that makes my walls vibrate … 🤷🏼♂️
Thanks for your comment. Appreciate you adding your insight 🙂👍🏼
@@timetowatch_francoisI love a ticking sound
Thanks for the review!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching.
How is the lume?
The Lume is not great I must admit.
Thanks for asking and thanks for watching.
@@timetowatch_francois thanks and Godspeed to you
Is this automatic watch?
Thanks for your question. You’ll see by the ticking second hand that this is a Quartz watch, not an automatic.
Thanks for watching.
It has been 2 months since I ordered my watch and I still haven't received it, no communication from customer service, this is looking like a fraud
@@jaimealvarez4566 , sorry to hear that! That was NOT my experience, typically, they are very responsive.
I hope you get to receive it soon.
Why aren't there sub markings on the sub dials??? Seems to defeat the purpose of a highly accurate chronograph.
Indeed … totally agree 🤷🏼♂️
I figure they went more for a simple design look-n-feel.
Thanks for your comment.
How much it weights?
Thanks for your question. Let me get back to you on that. I’m currently on a family vacation and I don’t remember the exact measure.
Thanks for watching 🙂👍🏼
@teodorpenchev3651 - Here is the weight of the watch: 111 grams.
Thanks for your patience and thanks again for your comment.
how long does lume last?
The lume is just “ok” I would say.
It will be visible if you wake up in the middle of the night but it won’t be very bright. Just enough for you to see what time it is.
Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching 🙂👍🏼
The Lume doesn't work at all on the two watches I have@@timetowatch_francois
Simply beautiful.
I completely agree.
Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching 😊
Have had nothing but a miserable experience with the company and brand. Pay for expedited shipping been a week with radio silence from the company. Almost seems like they are becoming fraudulent... 😔
Was this an issue for you?
@Robert - I'm saddened by your experience b/c it was not what I experienced. They were very responsive and even sent me a replacement watch when the initial watch they sent me had mechanical issues.
Thanks for sharing nonetheless.
I hope they read these posts and look into improving their Customer Xperience.
Thanks for watching.

THEY ARE GERMANS !!!!
Great review, The color looks off in the video though
Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching.
I guess it's all in the lighting 🤷🏼♂
a company with poor quality and careless employees. I ordered a leather strap that I liked in a different color along with the watch and they sent the wrong strap. There is a screwdriver mark on the screws under the watch. The biggest disappointment I have ever experienced in a watch shopping. Using the name of German quality is the biggest insult to the Germans. never again!!!
Sorry to hear that 😞
This has not been my experience with them but I understand your frustration.
Thanks for sharing your input. Hope this gets resolved soon.
I agree. I have recently bought two of their watches, the automatic that is not at all accurate, being always several minutes in advance when i constantly wear it, but stops if I take it off before going to bed. I have wound it up to get it going but have had to shake it violently. Very annoyin. I have put it away because I now have one of their quartz numbers, which is very attractive but the black dial is impossible to read in artificial light. However, regarding your specific point, I have contacted them twice by e-mail but they never replied to my questions, even though a preliminary response states they gladly will. Incredible they don't reply to legitimate questions. In my last e-mail I told them off. I do like the minimalist design and the leather straps as well as the discounted prices, I must admit.
@@robertfredericktatlow5599 - That’s very unfortunate 😔
I hope you find something better suited to your needs.
In any case, “the hunt” for a watch is, for me anyway, a fun process.
Thanks for sharing your experience nonetheless.
@lacatedrale - Every time the video zoomed in, it was easy to notice that the finishing and quality wasn't the best one.
Despite that, I liked this watch ⌚️ very much.
@@GPDF - I have to agree 100% with you.
Thanks for your input.
The next vincero
😂
Why anyone would waste their money on one of these boggles my mind. Buy a Seiko, hell you can get some Junghans on the Grey market for a similar price!
It’s all in the look-n-feel. For me anyway.
And yes, Seiko makes different models that can “rival” the price but the better looking Seiko watches go for much, much more IMHO.
Appreciate your insight and thanks for sharing.

@@Kris-h3c , good question.
With export fees, a distribution hub in the USA and prices and taxes which vary from country to country, it’s very difficult to say “why”.
Thanks for your comment.
