Until you spend the type of money to buy an 1815 Chrono or above, I would recommend to buy a simple Lange 1. As you say, it is Lange’s OG… A modern icon! That being said, there are numerous great Langes that are a great second pick. 🙈
I love Lange. Their watches are stunning but I think two of my favorite things are 1) obviously the movement finishing 2) their watches are made to be used. They provide safety mechanisms, their minute repeater has some water resistance, etc. They aren’t meant to be thrown in a safe or only worn at a specific event. They’re meant to be worn.
Looks stunning!! When the power reserve dies the second hand will always be stopped at 0. Don’t know how they do it but it’s why Lange is perfection 👌🏼
I have been a long time viewer of the channel. I really do not understand how you only have 36k subscribers. Your content is some of my favorite in the watch industry. Congrats on the new Lange!
This channel should have 1 million subscribers by now. I have been watching you since you first started. Your enthusiasm, video quality and genuine love of the topic never ceases to amaze me. If youre ever in NY/NJ please reach out to me!
The blue strap in combination with the pink gold is really nice. It suits you well. Congratulations. Lange watches are real high end. There is nothing that looks like gold. I got a yellow gold chain from boops jewelry in switzerland for myself some days ago. The first golden item i have.
I've been looking at a pink gold Lange 1 and a Lange 1 Moonphase to join my WG 1815 Up Down. Love the look of the moon phase sundial, but the fumes on the main dial and the hands just put me off for some reason. I think I'm going to pull the trigger on the pink gold L1 this week. Watching this video helped seal the deal for me. Thanks for the great content!
Ahh I just love the Lange 1. My Grail watch. I love it with the moon phase 😍. Preputial Lange I could look at the movement all day long. Just mind blowing ☺️. I'm pure jealous of you 🤭🤭 Enjoy your watches man 👍🏻 Absolutely beautiful collection 💗❤️
Love how your collection & taste is evolving mate. Wear it in good health. You inspired me to get 6119r. I think this will be my next watch for 2022! Congratulations reda and keep it up man.
Shadi bro, thank you so much 😊 do you remember my first video ever when I though the submariner basel is bidirectional? 😂 I can’t forget your comment to this date. ❤️
@@WatchSociety oh wow! Just realized how long i have been following you mate! I had to to dig deep to find this comment :) well, i love your content reda! Your channel clearly shows that you are passionate about watches and i also really love how non showy you are and the stories behind the purchases are as great as the watches that you show! Keep it up bro and i am sending lot’s of positive energy your way!
You are killing me man! Are you accessing my grail list? The Lange 1 moonphase in rose gold is the second to last pick on my complete watch list. I’m dying here! Stop highlighting these great watches. I picked up the 6119 in rose last year before your video (ha!). Now you highlight my Lange 1. You’re killin’ me man! Keep up the great taste. I’ve enjoyed following your watch journey Ridah!
Amazing. Gold and a blue strap looks stunning, but I wouldn't be able to carry that off. Just bought a Saxonia Outsize Date - white gold and black dial. Nice and under the radar!
I am fascinated by the sculpture on your mantelpiece. The Lange is amazing, the colour combination with the blue strap is inspired. But despite these beautiful elements in this video, it’s that sculpture that has mesmerised me. I also live in Dubai, part of the watch crowd here, haven’t met you yet. If we do meet you need to tell me more about that piece of art
Couldn't give a better topic for this video!!! Agree with every word!! Lange is absolutely on another level..I would go for the new grand lange 1. Rose with grey dial. After I tried it on can't get it out of my head 😄😄
@@WatchSociety well, I don't know how it's trading on the secondry market, but since u have buying history u might be able to pre order and get it until the end of the year 😄😄 I tried both of them, and damn there is a difference 😊😊
What an excellent and beautiful piece! Wonderful dimensions and functionality. A classical watch with a modern twist, I love it! There isn't a watchmaker on earth that can compete Lange's innovation and standard of craftsmanship. Lange is the best in the world, fact!
Awesome video buddy 👍 was great seeing you during Watches and Wonders. Congrats on the new watch. Lange 1 is just amazing especially in pink gold. I really like the Lange 1 but I prefer the Odysseus 😁. For me thats the watch I'd personally go for. Hope to see you soon ✌🏻.
It was good seeing you too bud and looking forward to meeting again, my side of the world next time. The ODYSSEUS in white gold is next and in the list, the still is out of question and again I prefer precious metals. That said, the Lange 1 is a beast of a watch, quality and aesthetics
I just bought the Lange 1 moon phase 192.032 before the price increase. I was debating between moon phase or without. In person the blue of the day night indicator just pops and is so beautiful. Both are amazing watches though.
Congrats, I got mine before the price increase too. The moonphase is super nice even in white gold with the black dial, I was so close to picking it. Have you seen the new grey dial in rose?
What made you decide to get this one over the moon phase version? Just curious to know as I was in the same position two weeks ago. The grey dial is very nice but I’m not a fan of the grand Lange 1. The 38.5mm is the perfect size in my opinion and for my wrist.
@@WatchSociety congrats on your Lange 1. I have seen your reviews on the WG MP black dial. I am learning towards this variant. Also curious on your decision to get the non MP one? Cheers
I went to the Lange boutique in NYC, which is the N. American flagship. I was shocked at how little they had in stock. They had a few watches, but when I asked about specific models (like a 1815 chronograph), they didn't have it. The sales rep said they hope to normalize their supply by yearend. If you order something, expect 8-10 month wait.
Firstly congratulations bro. Sick watch. Been collecting what seems an age. Just like you, it was the sports and hype watches, now as I am older, all my newer additions have been dress watches. I find them more interesting, rare and much more beautiful. PP, VC and A lange dress watches in my opinion are the best, my collection from now on will be heavily focused in on these 3 brands. Beautiful addition to your collection, now let's go for the 1815 flyback chrono!!
Richard bro, thank you and well said. The hyped ones get boring and often ask myself why did I get’em to begin with. The only sport watch outside of VC, Lange and Patek that actually wear is the Daytona. Steel and sport watches are great however not sure if I am getting older or what but somehow appreciating classic watches, precious metals specifically over steel. 1815 fly back chrono in black day on pink gold is really nice, thickness of 11mm is also doable. I am yet to see one in person.
@@WatchSociety I am the same. The only sports watch I wear now is the daytona and the overseas. I will eventually sell all the other sport watches in the collection. Funny, how this hobby changes in time. I have got into independents in the last few years. I have thing for rose gold, so working towards the PP 5205 green dial and the lange 1815 flyback chrono in rose. Congratulations again on your purchase. Its definitely a keeper!!
A Lange is one of my holy trinity of watches. I'm not a fan of watch designs with the main time indicator reduced to a subdial, which basically means the actual dial of time telling is small to make way for other subdials. I'm a fan of the ALS Odysseus where all the indicators have symmetrical design.
@@WatchSociety what’s the best way to reach out to you for meet-ups? Would love to discuss your views on Lange and other non-hype brands, once you have got time.
Gotta love the Lange 1! I have one in yellow gold (without moon phase) since 2018 and it just doesn’t get old… I wear it numerous times each week. Great video, mate!
That is so good to hear, I find the straps super comfortable too, how do they holdup? I bought an additional strap with a clasp just incase this one gives up
@@WatchSociety The quality of the straps is good… They last for quite a while. However, alligator does not last forever. Sometimes you get new Lange straps on Ebay for a good price.
Congratulations brother! This is a great watch for you, and it will open a new horizon in front you. Especially since you're falling out of love with Audemars Piguet (as I also I am...)! It just makes sense that your first would be a Lange 1, by the way! My choice would be the white gold version!
Beautiful watch bro, hope you enjoy it. I’m a diver guy with a bracelet but this is a work of art and I love the blue strap! The movement’s not too bad either lol that push button date! pure class
lange 1 with guilloche dial - like the gold or silver ones, or navy blue, from the past - but primarily like 1815 up/down for the balance of look and function.
Really enjoyed this video and just bought my first Lange 1 this week. Love the blue strap, can you share the name/specific blue reference and where you ordered? Thanks for the quality videos!
191.039 is white gold that I skipped, mentioned in the beginning of the video, the one I picked was indeed 191.032 which is the same watch just in rose and without the lumed power reserve indicators
Great video! I have never seen an A. Lange und Sonne in the flesh. Looks amazing but, I am sure it is better in person. Did you get over to Sinn while you were in Frankfurt? Keep the great content coming! Cheers,
First I picked up Cartier Santos DLC after watching your review. I really love it! Yesterday I called alange boutique put my name down for Lange 1. What are you doing to me man! 😆 I'm going to order navy strap for me. Another Great review keep it coming
I visited the harrods A LANG & SOHNE dealership, put my name down on the pink gold datograph , said I’m on the waiting list to join the waiting list 😳, the platinum watch I could of joined the official waiting list straight away , they want a 30% deposit and the watch is usually made within nine months of that deposit be made I’m still having sleepless nights whether to go for the platinum or the pink gold I put my name down on the pink gold she said it was a more popular one so maybe I should change my mind and go for the platinum as it’s rarer . What’s your thoughts 💭
Congratulations! Beautiful watch and a very nice addition to your collection. Speaking of your collection, I think it’s time for a “state of the collection” video 😊
