    Thank you both for the great interview and the inside information about this brand. No doubt Lange & Söhne is one of the most innovative brands in the world. Lange 1 was long time a watch no other brand would try to copy, Datograph is unique but Zeitwerk is a masterpiece without any competitor.

    Lange is the best watchmaker in the world period. So much better than PP, AP or VC.

      With patience, you can get most watches. Not as fun as being able to walk into an AD and buy a watch. There are tons of great brands that one can do that with though, just not 4 or 5 brands and 12 or so watches.

      Mike is still on “around the crown”. What they had said was they felt like market wrap was going to get repetitive after that many episodes. Which idk if I agree with or disagree with, just what had been said.

    The interviewer really distracts from what his guest is trying to say with all the "yes" interruptions. I couldn't make it past the 10min mark bc of that. Interesting topic ✔️ passionate guest ✔️ Interview ❌

      you obviously are oblivious to who “the interviewer” is. He is passionate and knowledgeable about the Brand more than anyone on the planet: Have the courtesy to appreciate the fact that the collector is there also as a token of appreciation for Alp’s expertise on A. Lange und Söhne. Look “Langepedia” up on social media and then remain so petty, which I highly fathom you would.

      I work in consultative sales so my goal is to speak 20% and let my client fill up the rest and the good interviewers do something similar. Give Fresh Air a listen, Terry Gross is a master interviewer.
