A. Lange & Söhne New Watches at the 2019 SIHH 

He definitely knows how to do this!!!

Very good manager...

Tbh he is on par with the watches. thats saying something. Such a character Lange couldnt find a better man....... excluding the man the legend Jean-Claude Biver of course!

Oh yes, i hear you 🙏😋

I'll be wearing with you vicariously

no words.....totally agree. incredible..no words..

They are the best

It is definitely watch porn at its finest.

That's a nice of way of putting it!!

Fully get you!

Nicely said!

Wow, thank you!

so true, who needs to tell the time anyway :D

Well summarised!

As long as people are paying way over retail for 2nd hand Pateks and ALS 2nd hands are going for half price, I don't see that happening. They may be on a similar level of watchmaking, but totally different levels regarding prestige and status.

@@Ozmeister666 Who cares about prestige and status. Well informed people understand what's what. For those who aren't, Rolex is still probably the best luxury watchmaker in the world.

@@Ozmeister666 Patek also is quite soft on most models except the steel Nautilus. AL&S does not make a steel sports watch.

Nah. 🙀 I think FP. Journ is the best looking an working movements around. And my Glashutte pano reserve is super clean an fine working watch I love it. It did cost a lot back then. It was brand new never seen until the watch convention show that I was at. I still have the special wood , leather lined boxes and all my original papers just squirreled away. I try to keep it realistic on prices of watches from $2,000 to $20,000. Anymore than that it has to be very special. I wish I could play with the high price watches but such is life. I have some watches I consider my pet favorites. Small time watch makers just starting out and I try to buy some of their unique pieces. I found a German artist who only makes 30-50 hand made watches each year. And mostly out of stainless steel, some gold for bushings and train wheels this tourbillon movement works wonderfully never had a single problem in 5 years now. Part of the Glashutte watch company. Same super watches but just a little bit less fancy in polish work.

If I had the money I'd have one on my wrist right now!

Not really comparable, but I understand your comment ;) Best to you

Rolex is like a Swatch compare to the A. Lange & Söhne

I think the comparable declining brand is GO, GO had made some great watch models in the past but not in the recent few years. But Moritz Grossmann Glashutte is up and coming.

Rolex is still a very good solid watch. I do like that about them. But they could put a lot more time into finishing work. Do they still make kustom movements for watches by some chance Rolex? My absolute favorite watch of all time is F. P. Journ company watches. But alas the prices are stupid high sorry to say. Love those Journ watches but why do they all have to have such high end prices?? I really think it should cost so much less??? All these modern high end watch companies all use computers to develop watch parts. Then to design and practically build the whole watch. By using CNC machines for all the little parts. But it still has a lot of hand work to clean up the parts after machining. I guess it depends on how fancy a watch you want.

you cant afford any of the shitbird

Thanks!

Understand the feeling!

It really is!!!

Hahaha, didn't see it like this ;) Thanks and best to you

Very welcome and thanks to you!

Well said!

Totally agreed, Marc’s the main man

Thank you, appreciated ;)

Yeah, thats why you everybody can get an ALS at an AD for retail and people are paying 50% over retail for 2nd hand Pateks. ALS are spectacular, but they'll never reach the prestige of Patek.

Schleberger the prestige has nothing to do with quality or other objective reasons - its just the name. if the name justifies this overprized tag for you - ok the holy grail should sth be what is as perfect as possible; and not a expensive a possible because a name.

@@jkpd9743 watches are jewelry, which is all about prestige. ofc watch nuts dont care about that, but 99% of all watch buyers do Even if patek had only half the quality of a lange, it would still be twice the watch to 99% of all watch buyers.

@Kerim Temel maybe thats true. If you compare them on the 2nd hand market youll see that Pateks hold or rise in value while Langes mostly drop heavily

@@Ozmeister666 Based on what you're saying Rolex must be the best brand by far since you say, "watches are jewelry, which is all about prestige." The Qty of people that recognize Rolex is immensely higher than any other luxury watch brand. If you care about resell value you sure must think Supreme clothing is the best quality clothing in the world ROFL. So dumb. Obviously people are saying A Lange & Sohne represents a higher quality piece in finishing and aesthetics than a Patek. You're the only one mentioning resale value retention. Also your 99% of people would disagree about Patek falling behind Lange in production quality doesn't hold water in this forum. Please take a poll and see if you can ever find a target group that agrees with you.

Nice!!!

Yes, super cool!!!

@@WATCHESTVcom IMO the Zeitwerk line by A. Lange & Söhne and the Glashütte Original Senator Cosmopolite watches should get way more attention from the watch community.

Many thanks!!!

We understand ;)

another opinion based on the myth.

Hahaha, but I get your point!!

Would be really complicated with the gongs going around the case though.
