- Ever done the pick-n-mix at your local cinema? You’re presented with row after row of chewy, crunchy, chocolatey, gummy treats, strawberry, raspberry, aniseed, bubble gum-whatever your heart desires. You cram as much as possible into the little bag, hoping the whole gummy stodge doesn’t explode, eager to get your hands sticky and your belly full of gummy deliciousness (Will you stop saying gummy so much?). If A. Lange & Söhne is eight-year-old you and complications are the sweets, well, then I’ll be darned if that doesn’t end up in the limited edition Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon. With thanks to A. Lange & Söhne for the loan of this exceptional piece, here are five reasons why it’s going to give you the sugar rush of a lifetime.

The dial is perfect without a visible tourbillon, that's Lange's restrained design paying dividends again.
That's what amuses me - exposed on the face:
Look everyone, I've got a tourbillon.
I'd never pay the money for a complications or a tourbillon even with a Euromillions jackpot. A Vacheron Constantin Patrimony say (date function and second hand) would do me. Anything further and I can pull my phone out.
@@duncanbryson1167 The displaying of the tourbillion has gone too far. Having it but not displaying it is the better look for the watch aficionado imo.
@@Pilkie101 It depends on the watch. Some look good showing it off and some watches look better with the tourbillon only visible from the back
Having it and not showing it is like the rich person in the room that’s quiet. He knows he’s rich but let’s the other pretenders talk about how rich they are whilst he has a little chuckle and says nothing else
A. Lange & Söhne is owned by the same company as Watchfinder & Co. soo....
I'll never be able to afford it, but seeing it here is the next best thing. The shots are amazing and makes you feel you are actually holding it on your hand. Thank you.
don’t ever say never
Amazing watch! But take it with a grain of salt, A. Lange & Söhne is owned by the same company as Watchfinder & Co.
I can afford one buy why? You can drive any number of super cars for that amount and nobody will give a crap what’s on your wrist
@@jimsteinway695 Honestly, there are 100$ watches that'd get you much more attention than this "Datograph"
A perpetual calendar that can’t be broke when quickly resetting...perfection
@R. Schowiada71 good one 😁
The most perfect watch I've ever seen. Actually brought a tear to my eye.
Amazing.
Laughed out loud at the fishmonger !
As 50 Cent would have put it:
Get this watch or die tryin’
😂👍
I did as it cost me my kidneys one liver and one heart.
Lmao
@@floridahummer sounds like a great deal
By far the most brilliant wrist wearable timepiece I have ever seen.
I agree, but I wouldn’t want to wear it anywhere else!
Jlc master grand tradition minute repeater might give it a run for its money, especially since it's a 14 day power reserve watch with a visible water proof mintute repeater mechanism comes to mind.
Indeed, this is The Holy Grail watch! It must feel like wearing a Rembrandt strapped to the wrist, flawless ⌚👌🏻🤯🤤
Philipe Dufour apparently said ”The best chronograph ever made is the Datograph"
Even if you didn't like the aesthetics, it's hard not to marvel at that engineering.
In my eyes, this is one of the best watches ever. Oh my god, every single screw looks ideal and super crisp. Stunning.
You've outdone yourself again. As have A. Lange & Söhne.
Lange is next level. If they were Swiss we wouldn’t be debating if Patek was better or not.
As an overall watchmaker lange doesn’t come close to patek . The history , heritage , wide catalogue , innovations and brand equity of patek philippe are unrivalled . I love lange , their watches are unreal but comparing it to patek as an overall brand is futile .
@@songoku-jx3cb thanks for proving my point. Heritage shouldn’t earn you success, it should earn you experience. Tradition stifles innovation and Patek hasn’t produced anything innovative. The Nautilus looks like a maxi pad
I value beauty over heritage and Patek’s complacency in this respect has in my opinion deemed them a runner up.
@@avarmauk i don't think so . When you have been around for more than century and defined watchmaking to its core you deserve a different place in the book .
Patek has made many innovations even in the modern era the mighty grandmaster chime being one of many .
But just innovation doesn't define a brand .
Patek is known as king of complications for a reason . Patek has made so many watches over its course of lifespan that lange will never catch up in a span of mere 2 decades .
@@songoku-jx3cb None of which are beautiful. There’s nothing outstanding about their watches, just a past reputation that they cling onto. I couldn’t care less about their grand complications, I’m never spending $15 million on a watch I’ll never wear. Useless for anyone who isn’t a billionaire
By your measure Breguet should be the best brand in the world. Created more complications and older than Patek
@@avarmauk beauty is subjective for sure . I find patek grand conplications like 3970 , 2499 , 5004 & 5970 etc very beautiful and You don't need to spend money . There are many who are already doing so which is why patek watches hold their value so well .
And lange is not cheap by any means either. They are priced relatively close to pateks .
A lange & sohne are so far ahead they just made a tourbillon that you can't even see on the dial
All of Patek's tourbillons are not visible through the dial to preserve the lubricants.
@@Barfriedrich12 ...and they’re often not visible through the caseback either
so did glashutte original at 1/3 of the price
Laurent Ferrier also make a bunch of those that are pure perfectness as well. laurentferrier.ch/collection/classic/tourbillon/
I actually prefer to see the tourbillon movement myself.
One day in a life of a watch guy you come to the point where you look past all the hyped models, wait lists etc. and just appreciate the craftmanship!
A Lange und Söhne is the best watch maker in the world (my opinion).
The fact that you can get a discount on them while other watches go for double of their retail shows that most people prefer hype over craftmanship.
Thank you for uploading amazing videos!
Agreed!!
I consider it a fact.
This 100%
hi SM. your conment , is, well ,full of emotions . i agree.
👍🏿
Most ironic part of this beautiful watch is that the people that can afford to buy one, never need to look at the time, time revolves around them.
Yep everyone else can now just shut up shop, ALS has completed watchmaking on expert mode.
10:39 “Each piece of the movement is costing you less than €400 ...”
🤣🤣🤣 Nicely put.
This is as close to perfection as you can get. This is probably my all time favorite watch
I may never own any of the watches shown on this channel, but I can appreciate and understand all the work that went into them.
That power reserve is so cool. especially for a Lange.
God this was awesome. Incredible writing as always, amazing to see such watchmaking perfection up close!
That's what I call a "Grail Watch"
Personally, I could not possibly wear this watch outside my house. The workmanship involved is close to sacred! If I damaged it in any way, I don't think I could forgive myself as this is truly a work of extraordinary, understated art that needs to be preserved!
Hands down the best watch channel on UA-cam. I cant believe these videos are free. I will probably be purchasing my next watch from watchfinder and co.
Brilliant review ! This actually makes you appreciate the cost and the time and effort put into to making a masterpiece.
Could only dream of owning a watch like that. Well done.
What a piece of art. Absolute mechanical magnificence!
The Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon is by far my favorite Lange. They should design a system like LeCouttre did with the Reverso just to be able to see the movement and the tourbillon. Lange’s movements are so breathtaking!
I love the power reserve indicator so much on this watch!
Love the Classé Audio reference. Greetings from Canada, and thanks so much for all the glorious content. This watch just became my Grail.
Someone recently asked me why I liked a Lange Shone over patek and here’s the example I gave.
Two guys standing in front of me, one wearing an ALS and one wearing a patek. I know they are both successful, I know the guy wearing the a langhe sohne knows about watches and I can’t say the same for the patek wearer. Plenty of patek people who are interested in the hobby, but there are a lot who aren’t and simply want a piece to flex. I don’t think anyone buys als to flex, because no one really knows the brand outside of watch circles.
After seeing the video, I'm going to say that this watch is tremendous value even @ 330K...
What more can one provide? this is the closest level to perfection, in my opinion. Gorgeous watch, absolutely stunning. A true piece of art with a deeply sophisticated movement. The very contemplation of this mechanism that marks the passage of time is not in itself a waste of time. Congratulations to everyone who contributed to the creation of this incredible movement, which will undoubtedly become the new standard in the watch philosophy.
Definitely worthy to be desired, but most people will only dream about it. Nevertheless, this watch won't stop pleasing the eye and be inspiring just knowing that this masterpiece does exist!
Congratulations!
I have watch envy! You said it all PERFECTION
It could have a minute repeater I guess 😝
Absolutely stunning. My favourite watch and I was awaiting a review, so thanks.
0:27 sonically frightening
Truly jarring. What the fuck was that?
It is an attempt at recreating a Marge Simpson line from ‘Homer Badman’ Season 6 Episode 9 which originally aired on November 27, 1994.
Is that how English moms sound like!?!
@@mcclechinois3721 - No, we don’t have them. We have MUMS.🏴
@@davidr2082 -Aha! Don’t really watch that show but not a stranger nonetheless.
Good lord...729 parts?!? This watch truly is “well endowed.” A digital-age mechanical marvel worth every penny. Very grateful to have seen this here today.
By far the best watch channel
You know what is even more stunning than this Datograph? - it's a minute repeater... ! But instead of having a Zeitwerk or a Grande Complication with all the other functions of this Datograph on top, I'd like to have it in a simple watch, like a self- winding Saxonia, maybe a Saxonia Moonphase, but nothing else.. . Just focus on the striking chimes. Still, any Lange watch isn't just "haute horlogerie" it's "horlogerie la plus haute".
Thanks for all the amazing videos you do.
I thought there was something wrong with my computer when that voice came on. Like a pop-ad or something :)
Gorgeous Timepiece! Hand finishing to Perfection and the attention to Detail is evident! Engineering at its best! Elegant, Beautiful, will last forever!
There are two types of people in the world. Those who want to look rich and those who are rich. I choose the latter. This is my kind of watch👌
what dreams are made of. this has just taken the #1 spot in my heart.
Is there no end to the ingenuity that this watch company can perform and execute with there time pieces.! There watchmakers are artisans and to see these movements working flawlessly is just the best.
I will definitely be referring to the price per part from now on, instead of the overall price. Great approach, ty
This is *literally* as good as it gets. Full stop.
One of my (pathetic, I know) pet hates is UA-cam watch channel presenters that wear gloves when handling quite modest watches. Here we have a $330k watch and no white gloves in sight! Thank you.
An exceptionally well-narrated and produced video of an exceptionally beautiful piece of masterful horology.
Thank you so much for the exquisite share.
Now which bank for the heist....
This watch is so incredibly well laid out. Most multiple complication watches are far too cluttered but this is 👌👌👌👌
Lange is so gangsta they hide their tourbillon.
The understatements in the writing get a little thin but the pictures and technical information more that that make up for the colorful puns.
It's strange to see a watch looking CGI perfect in real life. A real work of art but with AL&S something like this is the norm.
2020 has been a tough year, I will go for the more humble Patek 5270P (perpetual chronograph salmon dial) for just $200.000.
You plebs are an embarrassment 🙄
ALS inspires me to become wealthy ngl. The first time I get to put on a piece like that on the wrist must feel like a coronation 👑
Beautiful Watches, and love you're Chanel, thanks for bringing it to us.
That's a A.Lange & Söhne rigours and perfectionism watchmaking process claimed in timepiece
The finishing is just in-cre-dib-le.
Best watch reviews there are and wonderfully photographed.
This is literally a one watch collection made up of about 6 different watches
Those salmon puns 😂😂 Brilliant!!
Great review of an exceptional watch!
What an amazing piece of engineering! Thank you!
The only thing missing to this channel, is a higher resolution to the videos.
I recently acquiered a QHD monitor, and i would love to look at such glorious watch-porn in all it's splendor.
A reason to sell my house, but then it still wouldn’t be enough. Stunning timepiece.
My son has just bought a two bedroom flat for less money than this stunning watch.
That still is a nice flat. Congratulations
Congrats Marty (well done too son, huge milestone), but if your son is adverse to comfort he could live under this watch in a ditch for the same money or less too.
With the change he could fashion some sort of living from posting macro shots with a nice camera.
How does someone sell a watch like this when they choose to go back from living under a bridge?
... should have chosen the watch!
On top of being a watchmaking masterpiece, its an engineering marvel.
Stellar presentation as usual. Long time no see though, thanks to the pandemic. Hope all is well & that you’re staying Safe! This is quite the watch to say the least. It’s drool worthy but alas way out of my realm.
It's a good day when Watchfinder releases a new video. It's an even better day when it's a video with an A. Lange & Sohne.
What an incredibly well thought out function to have the resetting pusher deactivated. And what a bloody beautiful piece of machinery.
Your videography is world class.
What a magnificent piece of functional art!
Simply amazing... But what else would you expect from perfectionist German craftsmen? Bravo!
Unreal.......! Indescribable...🤯...just wow...astonishingly complex and beautiful!
Oh ya and there’s a tourbillon in the back...the audacity
Beautiful, both in its aesthetics and its engineering.
Patek (Swiss) vs. A.L.Söhne (Germany) is like Endgame
Lange is the king of watchmaking IMO!
Watchfinder, I have a Christmas wish from us all to you guys, that only you can deliver.
Please just make a long long long video of intricate B-roll of A.lange and Söhne watches, no voice-over (as much as I love your narration and voice) and I bet that'll be the best Christmas gift many of us will get when it comes to watches
I like the fact that the A Lange & Sohn kept their dial clean by putting the tourbillon in the back and visible Through the transparent case. A tourbillon in the front dial makes the dial look ugly. Patek Philippe also put their tourbillon in the back.
Damn... The Holy Grail.
Mmmmmmm. Those movement shots. Delish.
Always thought the grey Dial Version is as good as it can get, just a perfect watch, but here we go, this is even better. 😍
This isn’t a watch. This is high art.
That salmon joke.. I was not expecting it. Made milk come out of my nose. 😅
Your videos are incredibly interesting and very professional.
Thanks for your hard work. It would be very interesting to see a review of something unusual like the Urwerk EMC or the UR-110.
Best regards from Russia.
hi im impressed with this video,your tone and the way you bond a watchmaker to (us) humans. what a beautiful video. the price for this watch ,is just right . thanks.
I'll never own this watch but this is my absolute grail piece. This is perfection!
I know a few semi-rich people, but anyone who could afford this beauty is many levels richer than anyone I could ever know.
IT IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL.
Beautiful, absolutely incredible. This is ALS at its best and definitely the watch of my dreams!
Having the tourbillon on the front would be unnecessarily show-offish, and would distract from the exquisites details on a watch dial as 'busy' as this.
On this watch, for the owner - and for anyone lucky enough to be privileged a look - the back is even more outrageously fabulous than a 'normal' (if I can use that word) DataGraph. A Michelangelo on the front, and wait.... a De Vinci on the back!
And the comparisons in the comments below with the Richard Milles costing the same price. Yes, really puts things in perspective.
BTW, an RM would equate to a Jeff Koons ;-)
Wow! What a video....Thank you
Just a Brilliant video!
Everywhere you look....fabulous.
Love the power reserve display..
How many hours?
I love window shopping on your remarkable channel.
The best watch company in the world ,sublime
Hell yeah, my man, Johnny Kim, getting the shout out he deserves!!! Although he forgot that he is also a licensed physician!
I just can't bring myself to enjoy salmon dial pieces..not from Lange, Patek or anyone..but love the Tourbillion architecture on this one.
I do wonder if any A. Lange & Söhne owners have ever been tempted to wear their watches upside down? it's a beautiful view.
Nice!! And altough I will never be able to buy this watch you do light a delicate subject. With 167 parts, the Saxonia thin is just over 90 euros per part!! That is a steal!
It's a real masterpiece, amazing looking, amazing movement and amazing DNA
there is no more understatement possible, as if your watch is so impressive, that you dont have to flex your tourbillon with a open heart dial
Speachless ...
WAAAY above my pay grade, but what a Stunning timepiece!
