OMG! At 10:46. The sub seconds hand on the A. Lange & Söhne Lange 31 isn't straight! It's crooked! WTF?

@@davidhunternyc1yep same feeling…
@@zibebouisset4246 This one flaw alone would make reconsider A. Lange & Söhne. How did this watch get past quality control? I already don't like their date windows that are so large, upon a glance, you'd fall through.
For what it is worth,this is my favourite channel. The content, script, and depth of knowledge, capped with a great sense of humour, results in endless hours of pleasurable, informative, and discoverable horological excellence. Keep up the great work. 😎👍🏽
Yup Sugess Tourbillion and Lobinni Micro-rotor ... plus the Seagull 1963 (and all subsequent variants) with an automatic ST19 movement ... some with Swanneck. I get that most want the OG but getting these at Chinese watch prices is frankly amazing.

“I’m honestly surprised it doesn’t focus the sun and burn a hole through your arm.” Corum engineers: “Oh, crap…”
I have a Sugess Tourbillon. Wonderful watch and beautifully finished as long as you don’t look at the movement with a magnifying glass. (The dial is great even under magnification).
It is accurate and wears well on my 7” wrist. All my watch-collecting friends love it. One of them even bought one after seeing mine. If you really like Tourbillons this is an easy decision.
I bought an Aesop tourbillon & it’s a fantastic, conversational piece! The mechanicals I find are mesmerising!😵💫😁👍🏼
Gents could you please let me know how precise are these two watches, how many seconds per day in advance or in delay
Thanks a lot !!!
@@nec4608 Honestly I couldn’t say down to the second with mine, as firstly I don’t have a time grapher!🤭 But what I can tell you is, it’s very accurate over the time it runs on a full wind. For me it’s an occasional watch as something mechanically & aesthetically pleasing. Buy which model you like. The Sugess tourbillon wasn’t available when I bought mine, but I’m extremely impressed with everything regarding my Aesop. The Chinese are making good mechanical movements. I have the Seagull 1963 & it’s fantastic!👍🏼😎
@@andrewd7586 Thank you very much!!!
I was waiting for an ultra-thin mechanical watch for 150$. After watching this video i can conclude I'm getting a bit insane.
I greatly prefer your long form content over your “shorts”. The shorts are still good, don’t get me wrong, but your longer videos are so much better. Thanks for putting in all the hard work!
The FC-810 movement from the Frédérique Constant Slimline Monolithic Manufacture which ticks at 40HZ. The second hand is basically gliding magically over the dial. That just blew my mind.
Watches that blow my mind - Lange Zeitwerk, Jacob & Co Astronomia Tourbillon, Ressence Type 3, HYT H1, and (the only one I could actually afford and bought) Niwa Lunokhod
Great video again!! Love your channel. Greetings from the Netherlands
Great episode and commentary!
Thanks for the info on these great watches and the laughs!!
I have a sugess tourbillon, it's great, the finishing is surprisingly good for its price point as well. Sadly mines got magnetised so it needs a service.
I was considering adding this my collection, how does it wear on wrist?
Can you just run it over a demagnetizer yourself?
Seagull’s own watches are not much more, and finishing esp on dial is amazing (see faith series tourbillion). Hunted mine for a year and bought it within a minute after finding one seller with stock 😊
@@fepattonYes I Believe You Can!
No Need For A Full Service.
i have one too…i just dont like the clasp..it looks generic.. may i ask how did urs got magnetised?
What an epic episode! I personally loved the Piaget for its looks and its construction. Thanks for this mindblowing video!
So glad to see this style of video back again.
Love the humor in this video!
Excellent video - and the wit, as always, made me chuckle!
Loved the introduction of the Sugess Tourbillon Master - it is going to be amazing what Chinese watchmakers bring to the table, and if there might be a second 'quartz crisis' in the Swiss watchmaking world due to cheaper (in cost, but perhaps not quality and finishing) of luxury watches. Now I just need to decided if I take the dive and order one to give it a go!
What time is it? Corum: your time is up💀
Another reason why I’ve always said Lange is KING 👑
I love your videos... they are so informative and fascinating. Especially for Mechanical watch enthusiasts. always LEARNING SOMETHING NEW. thank you! Oh FYI I purchased Watch from you because of these informative videos.
Great show!
Could we have a video dedicated to super thin mechanical watches that are attainable?
Wonderful to see the "key" wound Lange.I knew this new fangled automatic fad would pass.
Once again, your writing is top notch!
I never thought I would see this channel feature a Sugess. Hats off to you sir.
The fact that it was a skull aside, I actually loved the aesthetic of the 3-D contoured skull as a dial Idea. As an architecture student, I would be interested in seeing more contour/topographic like dials done nicely, though with different themes. It also adds a nice texture, which I much prefer over something fully smoothed over. Makes me want to design my own Dial in this style with an Fiber laser engraving to get get that topo effect at such a detailed scale.
Wished they did a planet instead of a skull
@@MlkXiu absolutely. With that thought, i think something like the moon would make complete sense for something with the topo texture, as it would make things like craters really show and pop.
Sure enjoy your work, thank you!
One of my UA-cam legends when it come to watch content. Thank you!
Chinese torbillons are now down to about $250 !
I'm sorry Watch finder, this is not an insult to Andrew, but I feel like your videos have lost so much charm since Andrew started showing his face on screen in these "main" videos (and again, I LIKE Andrew). There was a unique charm and character to the videos that put the watch first, not the host, and that made it work. Now it feels like some producers put Andrew in front of a camera and said "dance, monkey!" "Cut to Andrew to make a quirky little quip that the viewers surely won't cringe at this time!" Worse, it feels like the best UA-cam watch channel is trying to copy the other guys, when I don't wanna see the other guys, I wanna see proper watch-centered content narrated by baritone hands man. I hope WF at least takes this into consideration
By the way I do think putting Andrew and Tim in front of the camera for the podcast-like episodes work much better, if it were me I'd keep the podcast centered on the people and the main videos about the watches
I hope you guys take this into consideration, it's from a longtime fan who's lamenting you guys seemingly trying to do what the other guys are doing
Signed.
It's not just the format but the content as well. They used to do hands-on showcases of ultra-high end pieces. Now it's just "top X google searched picks;" rolex this-or-that; and montages of old videos re-narrated but with overdone humor.
Like you said: it feels like the best UA-cam watch channel is trying to copy the other guys, when I don't wanna see the other guys.
If the F.P. is built for a vertical tourbillon, a 3 axis tourbillon would go that one step further.
I’m sure I’ll never have one - but a Journe to me is the pinnacle of watch making. If you offered me a Journe in one hand- and in the other you had a Patek, an AP and a Lange- I’d take the Journe
I’d rather have an AL&S Triple Split tbh
i rather have a casio f-91w
@kenygian3 You're trying too hard
8:43 thats what she said 😂
Sir, your writing and delivery are superb, your use of hyperboles and metaphors bring a smile to my face. And, I have to shamelessly admit that I will probably steal your clever writing devices whenever I post something online.
I love the Corum Bubble watch, but the slightly smaller Death Star edition
4:00 damn felt that
Super cool!
Super glad all of these are obtainable for the every day man
....
If you want things that are obtainable for the every day man, you're in the wrong hobby.
Headquarters of A. Lange & Söhne:
-We will build a wristwatch with a 31-day power reserve
-Why?
-Because we are German
-Of course
“Steady on”!
2:20😂
The is the face behind the voice??? Not what I expected.
I expected an old English man. Batman’s assistant. 😂
Wish I had this guys creative writing skills!
That A Lange with that month long power reserve is an endurance champion. I mean, 31 days... Just holy smokes!
Oh man, that A. Lange & Söhne 😍
the analogies man oh man
Mixed feelings.
The gap between perfection (or close to) and mass production is huge.
That translates from watches to other fields, like cars, jewelry etc.
It's choice of materials, engineering, finsihing and precision that makes the difference.
There will always be the Ferraris and then the Fiats...
So this is the guy who sounds like C-3PO? Wow, we finally get to see him.
Just... shocked that the Bel Canto was not on this list.
Coolest (and probably cheapest) watch I own is the Seiko Metronome. Replaced the oem strap with an identical looking high quality leather strap from Raspberry Minute, and it's one of my favourite watches to wear and show people how it works.
Is that last one so good that it will make us watch all the way through to boost that Stat? We'll see.
I'd rock the corum 🤙
I really hope that the terrible kerning on Journe's typography is a throwback to older type design, otherwise, it's a designer eye nightmare.
Oh god, that Lange & Söhne 🤤
Cartier's mysterious mass blew my mind recently.
…Andrew your analogies were the best of all ! …if the Journe isn’t the definition of decadence i don’t know what is…the Seagull tournillion os available in their own watch as well…the Piaget is ok…the Corum looks like a Swatch from Hell…so now i’ve got to remember where i put the winding-key for the A Lange?&sonne?…
…i have a silver-case blue dial open-heart Seagull cocktail watch that blew my mind, i had no idea such watches existed…likewise the Peacocks…
When talking about the thinnest watch you should say thinnest mechanical watch as I'm pretty sure the Concord Delirium IV (quartz) still has the record at 0.98mm.
I have two Sugess watches and highly recommend them.
Cebastan triple axis tourbillon is such an odd looking watch.
They should've called the Corum watch Memento Mori.
I hate the watch but Memento Mori is a better name. The problem is the watch is kitsch. Great memento mori isn't.
The Grand Seiko Constant-force Tourbillon.
Where can I source a magical 3d skull in Europe !?
So many analogies for the Corum lol
The man behind the VOICE ... 👍
I found tourbillon as interesting as roundabouts. Luckily my Sugess broke and got a refund.
If there was anything left to ruin about that skull watch, it’d be that giant logo
I'd say the whole thing is a ruin. Andrew's smokin' dope.
Disappointed that Ressence is not on your list ...
One watch that blows minds is Bond's Omega. He can make it literally blow minds like in Spectre when he made it blow up in Blofeld's face.
(Well, actually that's a fake Bond movie as it's not written by Ian Fleming, so forget that...)
Andrew, the Corum Magical 3-D Skull? What are you smoking?
The cheapest Swiss Tourbillon is made by Baillod at around $5000, not Tag.
10:46 for $170k, it would've been nice if the sub-seconds hand of the A. Lange & Sohne wasn't crooked like the 3rd-world leaders who actually buy this watch 😂
Body dust will work its way through the winding hole 🕳️ on the A Lange Sohne
Yes you would think that but no doubt Lange has thought about this as well.😊
Grand Seiko Kodo??????
I thought the voice was fake 🤦🏻♂️ what i cool voice! Besides that keep up the great video’s
Some of these Chinese made watches are really cool. The only problem is that their QC is next to none and if you’re unlucky enough to receive a defective item, returning it is a nightmare!! Believe me coz I’m one of the victims!😳🙄😤😡🤬
I feel like the corum was not picked by Andrew. Let's call it the voice of contractual obligation
A carousel is NOT a tourbillon
The Sugess is not a carousel, it is a true tourbillon.
Wonderful toys for big boys...
Question is: can you service that $500 tourbillon once it breaks.
Good question. As for quality control I didn't have a good experience with them about 10 yrs ago. I ordered a chinese tourbillion at the BHI (British Horilogical institute) but after 4 bad ones I gave up and asked my money back. Pity, it looked really nice...
@@Peter-Alexander I guess that's what most people don't think about when ordering these types of watches. It certainly has a wow effect at first. My friend had a Sugess and it had plenty of speckles of dust inside, some parts had scratches etc. For $500 there are so many good options out there that will last a lifetime.
@@Frantixj Yes I couldn't agree more.
Sounds like an office intern. Useless but needs something to do.
The ORIS DEPTH FINDER is amazing...
Most trending watch on youtube😅
The guys at corum were probably like "nobody even knows we exist so we might aswell make something wacky"
Seriously, name one watch from corum off the top of your head that isn't the one in this video.
If corum went bancrupt tomorrow, none of you would notice. Be honest. It's a nothing-brand nobody knows that has nothing interesting to offer. ...well, except that bubble skull thing... I guess
I will definitely pick the PS5 if someone is offering me the Sugess or playstation 😂 for free, I’m not buying either of them though
Cartier Masse Mystérieuse
Make in china
is a open heart a poor mans tourby
No it’s just a standard exposed escapement
I bet you talk yourself to sleep don't you?
I’m sorry but these videos are not as good now that you’re in vision. Production values seem much lower. You need to sharpen up your appearance to match your voice. Get your teeth fixed, get a stylist and sort your hair and clothes out. I know you/watchfinder want to create a recognisable “personality” for the brand, but your image is currently doing more harm than good imho. Honest feedback hope it can be used constructively.
Damn, a little harsh, Paul Blart.
@@BabyJesus66 the truth often is. I can see how much effort has gone into building this channel and it has resulted in a great product with a great following.
I understand that they want a face behind it now we’re out of covid and people are meeting in person and attending events again, so having a figurehead makes total sense.
But they need to sort the production values of the in-vision aspect and sort out the host’s appearance.
This is all doable, it’s all fixable.
I’m frustrated on their behalf because they’ve failed to do it and they are diluting the quality of the brand they’ve worked so hard to establish.
I’m not being mean for the sake of it I’m being truthful in the hope they’ll take action.
@@paullb2440 "the truth..."?
No, that's your subjective opinion. You aren't being mean, you're being a prick.
Why buy a knockoff no name sugess crap with a seagull wholesale movement inside for $500 when you can buy the real deal seagull tourbillon for $2500, a brand that goes back to 1950s with a rich history and make awesome watches. The sugess / seakor crap is nothing but a fashion piece, get the real seagull
It has a name, Sugess. That is a name. The movement is the same movement that is in that $2500 seagull. I don’t know if you’ve ever owned a Sugess but the quality is not bad, especially when considering the price.
@@driller7714 I can understand if a real seagull cost 10k, but that’s not the case they are also very reasonably priced, so why get a knockoff. There are tons of quality differences from
the dial, case polish, real sapphire Crystal etc.
I hate those knockoff brands they design the watch to look exactly like seagull design to purposely confuse the oversea end buyers, then when the Crystal falls out or hands coming off, seagull gets blamed and became known as bad quality. When in reality they make amazing watches that can go head to to head with Swiss but costing 2 figures less. I have many seagulls from their cheaper $500 flying wheels all the way to the $2000-4000 tourbillons. Also got one from my uncle that was made in the 70s, it was his single most valuable possession back then,remember he said it was 2 years of his salary back then around few hundred bucks, it still runs great. Now he has many Rolex and Cartiers but still asks to see the seagull every time he’s over, think he kind regretted giving to me and misses it.
It’s funny how outside of China people tend to accept sugess and those knockoffs or maybe just confused. But in China, no one would even touch those fakes, it’s viewed with disgust.
@@driller7714the movement aren’t the same. Seagulls own watches use highest grade movement. For example, the seagull st8230 is free sprung with inertia weight unlike the regulated version in this sugess. Seagulls own tourbillon movement also have real temper blued screws unlike the chemically applied blue used in sugess. I used to work at Tianjin watch factory in management
@@Aztec1050 Dunno about that. Sugess advertises that they are authentic seagull st8230 and st8000 movements. I have searched the internet and your claim is the only one that I can find that says these are not authentic seagull movements.
@@Aztec1050 Chrono24 has a listing for a Sugess tourbillon. Under movement it lists seagull st8239 movement. Chrono24 is a highly reputable company with zero tolerance policy for counterfeits or misinformation regarding the watches they sell. They would not list a watch as housing a movement that is not truly that movement. They deal in high end luxury watches daily. In this market reputation is everything.
Every invicta automatic pro diver blows my mind these are just insane value for money I can't stop buying them..... Yes I've owned several Rolexes and Omegas and many other luxury watches since 1969.... But like anything once the novelty wears off a luxury watch just feels like any other watch.... These pro divers look like a sub.... Feel like a sub and once you've tinkered with the bullet proof Seiko engine they are virtually as accurate as a sub..... The pro divers make you realise just how utterly overpriced, overhyped and overrated these luxury watches are.... Especially the Bolshy brand with the coronet...... 😮
A cheap tourbillon is nothing amazing. No one else does it because it's like making a sports car out of tin
It’s $500 bro that’s not a lot of money for some people. Better than spending $50K on a novelty
My favorite part of this video is the complete lack of exaggeration and hyperbole. I take watches seriously and I’m glad Watchfinder does also. I don’t have time for jokes and nonsense….
Has the corum been voted one of the ugliest watches ever designed.
Finally! A proper shirt! Now shave your face. Decrease amount of gesticulations. 😉
