Connoisseur Conversations: The passion for mechanical masterpieces

[@mvseaurchin7455]

OK Jay, Over the years watching your UA-cam channel I've seen you go from your trusty Seiko Sportura Chronograph directly to an Apple watch, without a hint that you had anything more up market. Sporting an A. Lange & Sohne is a quantum leap much like parking your MX-5 and putting miles on a Singer 911. I think that was the point Herr Schmid was making also; that his watches are indiviudal works of art that can't be duplicated by machines.

[@mastermindmanagement6190]

Go back and watch old Tonight Show clips. You’ll see his Lange poking out.

[@mtnvalley9298]

Great group and discussion. I could have watched another hour at least. Thanks to all involved.

[@michaelm8709]

This was awesome! Love the passion for watches and cars!,, ❤thank you!

[@johnnyboy1586]

The beauty with hand made objects is the human soul of the creater get imparted into the creation

[@Vampirebear13]

This was excellent & I wish it'd been longer.

[@rvrschrs64]

I'm an old (77) car guy, very familiar with Jay and Donald. I used to wear a watch (By the way originated in WWI for officers in the trenches.) But as fascinating as the top grade mechanical watches are they are ridiculously expensive. So I have made do with the "21st century pocket watch" very nicely for some years now. Still the conversation is interesting, comparing different mechanical art works.

[@brunonjezic6208]

This was extremely fun. I didn't knew Jay was in to watches like this. I love his Iron Rangers in this environment as well,great stuff

[@yohanjanik8308]

Really interesting discussion !

[@Number_006]

Nice conversation, very enjoyable.

[@rodsalvador3608]

Great discussion. I have small collection of watches, cars, books and instruments. I like the idea of being a temporary custodian of things permanency and quality. Anyway, hope to own a Lange one day!

[@jean-jacqueskaselorganreco6879]

The Lange&Söhne CEO is unfortunately not correct concerning the invention of the quartz watch.Way before the CEH in Switzerland developed the first quartz watch to be put on a wrist, the actual invention was made in USA by Joseph W. Horton and Warren Alvin Marrison at the New York Bell Laboratories

[@user-bm2dk5re5r]

Good ol Jay Leno. He did his best - bless his heart. He got it exactly backwards describing the "ticking" of the second hand as the preferred mechanical watch and the "sweeping" of the second hand as the "cheap" watch. He tried - his hearts in the right place. Let's just hope A. Lange & Sohne isn't paying him.

[@atreidis3946]

Nice discussion. Danke.

[@mdo5121]

WONDERFUL INSIGHTS THANK YOU

“It’s a watch you can wear on the weekends or around your children.“ (when you realize you’re not the intended audience.)

[@paulmcgee1867]

I wish this fashion for very large watches would end

[@phillipstewartsr.7625]

Wikipedia says, seiko
Created quartz watch in 1969..

[@tockingwatches2377]

I still want them to answer the first question.

[@bifeldman]

I compare my watches with my keyboard instruments.

[@JD-hh9io]

I'm just an old machinist. Thiis is too fancy for me.

[@deweichia8347]

why am I here, I will never know..

[@juniortoledo8088]

at 19:50 Jay got it wrong

[@stevenholquin2127]

I Did Not See The Migrant Gardeners Mowing The Lawn or a Man with a Leaf Blower in The Window or Trimming The Hedges....I Guess It's All About Proper Timing.....

[@jesvans]

pretty much no one needs a watch these days, phone. so, wearing a watch is a style thing.

[@shiblyahmed3720]

What a weird looking sofa!!!

[@mouisehay930]

Lange, you have adopted pretensions beyond your stature. Take heed, lest you fade into irrelevancy as your existing clientele "age out".

[@peterharding5184]

tell us more about being irrelevant random person on the internet....

[@jimwatchyyc]

Like you know anything about the brand, lol.

[@imaginewagon8177]

as a 17 year old lange client, I can confirm this is absolute bs

[@marcusrawlinson5024]

It's not difficult to find out the correct pronunciation of words and names some people, especially Americans, just don't bother.

[@desertwindauh]

I was really interested in Lange's Odysseus, but have since become very disillusioned with the antics associated by the brand for this never available model in their attempt to emulate Patek and Rolex.

[@eddylauterback1312]

Why did Jay agree to this boring segment? Don't agree to Donald's goofy ideas!

[@aircooled.obsession]

A great mix of personalities and a charming discussion
