    The more I looked at it the more I started to like it. Months later I have to say this Lange is one of the top 3 watches I ever saw. Such unique, bold, yet simple and understated design. Not easy to pull off.

    Of all the top end watch manufacturers (Patek Philippe, Vacheron-Constantin, Audemars-Piguet, Jaeger-Le Coultre) A. Lange & söhne has the most recognizable, iconic design. The classic yet fancy font combined with the "form follows function" mentality (Germans are good at this) make these watches recognizable from miles away.

    luckily a. lange & sohne was commissioned, over 170 years ago, to build the five-minute clock in the semper opera house in dresden. that was the first time they were able to perfect the digital complication. then, almost 160 years later, they spoil us by putting it in beautiful watches making the zeitwerk models for us to wear or and admire. the only other thing that i would have liked to see in the video is the "striking time" model.

  • @erze2367
    @erze2367 7 років тому +21

    Great video. Short, to-the-point, yet very informative. On a side note though, I think mechanical and digital are not opposites, they describe different concepts. I think it would be mechanical vs. electric (power source), and analog vs. digital (the way of displaying information).

      Mine thoughts exactly. Digital watches and quartz movements are the very thing most watch aficionados despise and that includes me. But these two, Zeitwerk and the Spring Drive made me think differently. Still wouldn't consider the traditional digital or quartz watch but I like the thinking of A. Lange & Söhne and Grand Saiko

    I went into this video with the opinion that this watch is a bit of a waste of a nice movement. Now i know that could not have been further from the truth. This is a beauty and the movement is incredible and much more complex compared to an ordinary watch. It's magnificent once you turn it over. This would be the watch to skeletonize!

  • @DavidSylvester7
