Rare thumbs down for this video. Unlike similar previous videos, this one lacks the caveat/disclaimer that Watchfinder is owned by A. Lange & Söhne. Oh, and lower production volume does not equate to "more prestige," it just means intentionally limiting supply (and having less production facilities/employees) to artificially inflate "exclusivity" and price. Lastly, the audio quality on this video is subpar.
Just to show the difference between ALS and PP when I got my Triple Split they offered me a tour of the factory and was introduced to several watchmakers that were involved in the assembly of the watch. That's for a 200k watch. People that buy a 200k PP just wait for months on end and then get it on the mail.
@@watchfinder Yup, I was about to link this one to him! And also WatchAdvisor's hands-on with the Hybris Mechanica Cal. 185, ofc it doesn't have your insane macro work but it's worth a 'watch' nonetheless!
@@RoelfvanderMerwe Journe is definitely a top tier watchmaker and his watches are beautifully decorated, but when it comes to complications and engineering, Lange and nothing else in my opinion.
As long as the Nautilus sells like hotcakes, Patek doesnt give a crap about anything or anyone else. Quality, heritage, etc are all meaningless when you sell the most coveted watch on the planet. Every rapper has to have one.
Mark this post: Lange will surpass PP in terms of collectability and desirability very soon. So under appreciated. No marketing, no IG followers, no movie stars or star athletes, just a great watchmaker doing great things.
For sure Lange makes nicer and better built watches than PP. PP has not much of a future. It'll soon be surpassed by MB&F and possibly even Greubel Forsey whose finishing is on a whole different level. PP isn't bad but Lange is better.
@@dangermouse8466ok buddy let’s slow down a bit haha.. I’m also of the opinion that Lange > Patek but to say MB&F and Greubel Forsey are anywhere near patek is insane
@@max12345678904 It's not insane at all. Greubel Forsey are technically superior to Patek and not just that, their finishing is so much better. As for MB&F, their watches have so much creativity that make Patek look ordinary.
@@max12345678904 What do you mean insane? Have you ever seen a Greubel Forsey or an MB&F? Greubel Forsey makes technically superior watches to Patek. Their tourbillon watches are way more accurate to what Patek create and then their finishing is on a level way higher. They're not known for having the best finishing on watches for nothing you know. As for MB&F, their watches are far more creative and visually appealing to Patek. Just face it, Patek have been overtaken by others.
A.Lange&Sohne is one of those makers that I have loved since I started to get into watches…I never really got into the Royal Oaks or the Pateks to be honest…these designs just do more for me…not like I can afford any of them anyway…
To my mind Lange is the finest one can get. If one could afford such a thing. That's not a criticism. Just a fact of life for most folk. The only time I was in the presence of a lange i was spellbound. I hid my Longines tank in my sleeve and then realized it was a mint mid fifties solid gold tank. Nothing to be ashamed of there.
Out of all non-independent watch manufacturer, I think Lange makes one of the nicest finished watches. The quality might lack compared to independent brands such as fp journe or voutilainen; however, I still think that Lange makes the most tastefully designed watches. I prefer to wear a Rolex as my daily watch because I'll end up looking down at my wrist throughout the entire day if I wore a Lange

Alas, for my money, A. Lange & Soehne will never be at the pinnacle of watchmaking ! Casio holds the post firmly ! But that negligible obstacle aside, in terms of sheer Art and Craft of Watchmaking A. Lange & Soehne is the best there is ! Holding the post firmly !
I fell in love with A Lange & Sohne watches after seeing my first one. Given a flush bank account and the choice between a Patek and an A. Lange, I'd go with the latter every time.
Perhaps not on the level of the A. Lange & Söhne on display here (but what is?), this video production, content and delivery is a work of art in my eyes. Very well done to all involved in this production. What a pleasure.
It's no coïncidence you are the most popular horology channel on UA-cam. Just like ALS your obsession with producing an incredibly high quality product knows no limits. You inspire me to propose macros and viewing angles of much more modest watches on my really modest channel. Thank you for that and I really hope you'll make it to 1 million subs soon
They are really special watches. I have a Zietwerk and I can really appreciate the engineering and workmanship that goes into making something so unique. It is great that you can show this in your videos. Thank you
On the edge of my seat, waiting for the next Lange video! I've said for the last few years that I think Lange is the greatest watch maker in the world, over AP VC and PP!
You are so much brighter than most. You do your research, you prepare your script. You do not scream or stumble. Precious! There is a problem with the comma on the watch prices. Nice to know about them, anyhow.
Lange movements are so beautiful! at the entry level (20~30K USD range), they beat everyone and at the high-end level (50K USD onwards), they are on the Holy Trinity level.
I remember my first experience with them. I basically toured all the physical watch boutiques in New York years ago. I had no idea of the brand (or the cost) but was really impressed by the bold design with function. Excited to learn more about them this week. 👍
Such an amazing brand with the most beautiful watches! Way, way...waaaaay out of my price range, but sincerely something I can only dream of owning someday! Amazing video!
Lange watches and especially the movement finishing is just stunning, I find the movements to be my favorite to look at in the industry, the depth, architecture, color contrast and overall finish are impeccable, truly beautiful works of art.
Bell Helicopter does a similar thing with their gearboxes (transmissions). They put them together, test them- Those that pass are taken apart/inspected/and reassembled. Those that don’t pass are fixed- and the process is don’t again.
I knew about A. Lange & Söhne but thank you for explaining them in such detail, they may not be a part of the Holy Trinity in the watch community but they themselves are a holy grail for watch enthusiast who truly understand them.
Patek or Rolex aside, as for me Lange&Sohne and Jaeger LeCoultre is unique when it comes to Quality, Complications and Craftsmanship in their watch, And the Art in both watch is like just great to be displayed at the Art Museum..I mean it's astonishing right?
I'd be the happiest if by some miracle, Mr. Taking Hands would show and talk about the retrograde complication. I think is so underrated but damn beautiful and useful.
Yeah I have no idea what ap is doing. They are just spewing out diamonded out limited edition royal oaks. I love the royal oak and the offshore is my favourite watch togheter with the BP FF and sea dweller but you can't buy ap new unless they are filled witch nasty diamonds and or is in gold.
I especially liked the earlier reference to Rolex - “They make 800,000 to a million per year. If you laid them out end to end, it still wouldn’t be as long as a Rolex waiting list.”
@@Pete...NoNotThatOne yes!! Very funny stuff! Shame about rolex. I'd love to be able to try them on and get one without having to beg and wait for years. Seems ridiculous
@@Valera_Scotland Stupid thing is, I remember about four years ago I was picking up an Oris 65, and I stopped at the local Rolex AD to check out a Polar Explorer 2. It was just about a week after the Paul Newman Daytona went to auction. I was able to walk into the AD, ask to see that Explorer in the window, he sat with me while I tried it on (and commented about the size of the lugs), and I said in all confidence that I’d be back for it for my birthday in a few months. My, how things change…
@@Pete...NoNotThatOne exactly.....I mean it's possible to get them. I was on the list for a year and got a call for Explorer 2. Didn't buy it but there you go. I don't like gmt functions if I'm honest... enjoying my Speedy 1861 so maybe the trick is to not care about rolex eh
@@Valera_Scotland In the end, I found an older Explorer through a second hand dealer anyway. And, currently got my Speedy on too 😁. Great minds and all that….
1440 minutes in each, I keep track of them with my datejust. Time is money. I bought my used Rolex when i got serious about time management. I borrowed the money for my Rolex 4 years ago. My point in sharing my story, isn’t about fashion. Its about my time on earth. I wear mine always (running a roofing company, gardening and building Motocycles).
I admit. Although I'm watching UA-cam in 1080p most of the time, for this series, I'm switching to 4k source. Even if it's a bit of a hassle for me, it just worth it.
I will completely agree. A Lange & Söhne has everything, Craftsmanship, design, movements, finishing and now reputation. I had no hesitate to pick rose gold Lange 1 when I decided to purchase a watch for my daily office wearing. It was a easy decision and I had never thought anything else. It is so pretty, so recognizable and also keeping low key.
My suggestion is to do a review on Vincent Calabrese and some of his wonderful creations. His Day & Night is my favourite timepiece. ( with its unique 24 hour complication)
Lange is in a classic "Apple v Microsoft" marketing dilemma. Patek does something to watch collectors that Lange just doesn't (yet) - that is not a battle that can be fought with technical achievements, finishing, etc. It is a battle for the heart, one that Lange doesn't seem to understand. I agree that modern Lange is better than modern Patek, but Patek has over a dozen truly iconic references. Calatrava, Nautilus, Complications, Grand Complications, etc. Additionally, Lange sincerely needs to focus on wearability. If they start putting out Zeitwerks or Datographs in 38mm cases, 46mm lug to lug, and 10mm thick? Christ, look out.
As someone who will never have enough money to buy either A Lange & Sohne or Patek Phillipe or any other similar brand, I think A Lange & Sohne make the best looking watches.
Frank Sinatra was asked in 1969 why did he buy a Lamborghini rather than getting a Ferrari. “You buy a Ferrari when you want to be somebody. You buy a Lamborghini when you are somebody."
I never saw a A. Lange & Sohne in person until a couple of months ago. My Podiatrist was wearing one. I noticed it immediately. I knew he did well, but not that well.
Yep, it's really the Big 4. ALS has been up there for years as far as I'm concerned. The Saxonia Thin is also my grail watch, but where would I wear one these days. I never dress up (retired). Great video!
Not only can no one else pronounce it correctly, neither can you. I absolutely love A. Lange & Sohne watches. Each one a masterpiece. Their watchmakers names should be as well known as Caravaggio, Frank Lloyd Wright, Beethoven, Chaucer and many many more.
Want more great A. Lange & Söhne stories? Read the articles here: www.watchfinder.com/Articles
Would it be possible to have a close up look at a 381.026, or a similar model, in the next Lange video?
There's a ton of echo in the audio for this video, just fyi (checked other YT videos and there's no echo)
Any chance of reviewing Grand Seiko GMT 9f86 quartz movement SBGN005 please
Rare thumbs down for this video.
Unlike similar previous videos, this one lacks the caveat/disclaimer that Watchfinder is owned by A. Lange & Söhne.
Oh, and lower production volume does not equate to "more prestige," it just means intentionally limiting supply (and having less production facilities/employees) to artificially inflate "exclusivity" and price.
Lastly, the audio quality on this video is subpar.

@@mfesch7386 Maybe but the example in 1969 applies to PP and ALS today I believe
You should have done a workshop visit and interviewed people, that would have added so much more this video
with out doubt it has the best looking movement out of all the high end watches just stunning to look at
Thank you, we’ll done truly inspirational!! Reminds me of how I used to machine parts when I was a machinists.
I never saw a A. Lange & Sohne in person until a couple of months ago. My Podiatrist was wearing one. I noticed it immediately. I knew he did well, but not that well.
The Lange 1 was good value about 10-15 years ago. Not cheap but more affordable.
Beautiful video!
Yep, it's really the Big 4. ALS has been up there for years as far as I'm concerned. The Saxonia Thin is also my grail watch, but where would I wear one these days. I never dress up (retired). Great video!
Not only can no one else pronounce it correctly, neither can you. I absolutely love A. Lange & Sohne watches. Each one a masterpiece. Their watchmakers names should be as well known as Caravaggio, Frank Lloyd Wright, Beethoven, Chaucer and many many more.
