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.
Dude’s sportin’ the steel Odysseus that’s nearly impossible to get. My hero.
Mine too!!
Terrific discussion. Thank you very much for this!
Thank you Sir - thrilled to hear this!
Alp is the man. Great to see him here. The ambassador to a astounding ALS catalog. Check him out.
Thank you Sir!
@@alpsever5279 what watch are you wearing in the video?
Lange is the best watchmaker in the world period. So much better than PP, AP or VC.
Fantastic ... Hope to see more like this
I really enjoyed watching this...but it would be much better if they could have actually showed the watches they were speaking of. It is frustrating to not be able to actually see what they were talking about.
Agreed, Sir. Noted!
Great talk, would have been nice to see in detail more Langes... having bought a Zeitwerk Date and the pink gold dial Lange 1 Perpetual i am smitten with the brand,
There's definitely something still sexy about the rear tourbillion. I enjoyed that. Nice chat.
Thank you, William! That Datograph Perpretual Tourbillon has been both of us’ kryptonite, one ring, dream since its launch!
Really enjoyed this talk. Alp never fails to impress you with his Lange knowledge!
Fantastic. Loved it! Great guys
Thank you James!
Great content always. Unfortunately the watch market has gone to 💩 and it’s a real waste of time talking about pieces you can never get. 🤷🏻♂️
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.
Absolutely agree! And those who can afford the crazy premiums on the grey mkt are just collecting for validation and the wrong reasons
Alp needs to teach Michael how to correctly pronounce A. Lange & Söhne.
oh it is the guy with the shoes
I miss Mike. Bring him back along with weekend market update! I love hearing if he's back in Philly, or in Connecticut, and how the NY Giants are doing.
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.
@@jolness1 Yeah. I still see Mike but I miss those Saturday morning segments and love how we got a small glimpse into his life, whether in Philly or Connecticut!
And to see which of his two blue sport coats he’s wearing!
@@jolness1 no thanks. Content with no substance.
@@adolf-8834 no thanks on what? I didn’t really get much out of market wrap personally. I like Mike but just wasn’t that interesting to me really.
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.
Hello Charlie,
Many thanks for your comment, Sir! I’ll certainly work on this one. I apologize for that, hard to contain my excitement when I sit down next to a friend like Mike 😅
Many thanks
Yeah I had to stop about halfway through I couldn't take it anymore
@@alpsever5279 thanks for the reply! I was genuinely very interested in hearing more about Lange, but it became hard to follow along.
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.
Can someone coach up these new hosts to stop saying “yup/yeah” every 30 secs… super f*ckibg annoying… it’s not even something that’s normal during regular conversation, let alone an interview style….
Hello Ryan,
Many thanks for your comment!
Will certainly work on that. Thanks for taking the time to send this 👍
“Basically there is no end…” 😬
