    Great interview, but as with the last video, please show us more of the watches.

    I love that this gentleman states he dislikes waiting lists. It's nice to be flat out told no, no more orders, than to be dragged along and offered other pieces you do not want for "a chance" to land the watch you want. Take notes watch world. Keep it real with consumers, we will actually appreciate it.

    Hello I wanted to mention to you that it would be VERY nice if you ALL would do a wrist check at some point in the videos so we can see what everyone is wearing. That is part of the fun of all this anyway. I would love to see what is on everyones wrist and I am sure I am not alone on this. Please consider making this part of every video you make. Thanks.

    Such a class brand under great management, I just wish they would crack a smiley and bring something not completely conservative every once in a while. The Lumen was a breath of fresh air e.g.

    Lange makes beautiful pieces. The finish and attention to detail is amazing. What’s missing in my opinion for the price-point, is the wow factor on the dial. They need to spend more time playing with the dial materials to make them less stoic, like they did with the Saxonia dark-blue gold flux boutique variant.

    I like that Ben gives it to Wilheim the hard questions without being rude about it. We need people like Ben not being to pampering to these watch makers.

      Thank you very much for your interest in A. Lange & Söhne.
      Unfortunately the time-only variant of the CABARET is no longer part of our collection for several years.
      With some luck you can still find examples in auctions or the secondary market.
      Please let us know if you have any further questions.
      Kind regards,

      The model that Ben Clymer mentions at that moment, is the Richard Lange “Pour le Mérite”, a truly special and very complicated, but at the same time understated masterpiece.
      The salient technical hallmark of the Richard Lange “Pour le Mérite” - and of all “Pour le Mérite” models since 1994 - is a fusée-and-chain transmission.

    Hmmm...
    If for him the ideal is that you do not even feel the watch (titanium being so light and the temperature assimilating to the skin temperature) then maybe best to not wear one at all...
    Me conservative enjoys that I feel wearing a watch, heavy steel already great, Platinum even better...
    But then again: de gustibus non est disputandum or variatio delectat...
    I love Lange watches and a Zeitwerk is coming... in the heaviest version ;-)

    He will never tell we have shortage of material and that's why either go cheap when obviously they can't because they will lose market ground or ohh let's make limit it with other material but gold or platinum when you look at the prices it crazy despite the craft and why not Mercedes and bmw they go cheap too

  • @oliverkuno8679
    @oliverkuno8679 Рік тому +1

    Great Brand I thought, looking at my Odysseus in WG with the rubber shows that the rubber seems to be a Cheapy, it shows signs of ‘blooming’ after time which you see on cheap rubber bands on cheap watches…For Lange the Odysseus with rubber is where the Case is made by SUG and the band maybe in China by looking at the quality. No reason for the limitations they are talking about in that vid…
