For many, A. Lange und Söhne is the pinnacle of German watchmaking. For me personally, they're the pinnacle of watchmaking anywhere. They're my favourite luxury watch brand and it's not even close

@nelsonpatel8624 Год назад

There is also a brand made in Glashutte called Union which was once made in the same factory as Glashutte Original. I have one limited edition Julius Bergter edition manual wind Union with caliber 30 movement and 45 jewels chronograph. I had visited the Saxony region and Glashutte in Germany and took a watch factory tour at the Glashutte Original and it was a great experience seeing watches made step by step. Great video Teddy!

@horacephistbump4867 Год назад

I had a long weekend in Dresden a few years ago and we went to Glashutte for a day. Fantastic trip. In the video at 13:34 is actually the German Watchmaking Museum. It is absolutely brilliant. Dresden is a fantastic city. Beautiful (mostly restored/ rebuilt) buildings, great restaurants and beer. Some great watch shops too!

@TeddyBaldassarre Год назад

That sounds like a wonderful trip. I had a plan to visit Glashutte but the pandemic spoiled the plans. Hope to make the trip soon.

@SinnerAndSaint Год назад

@@TeddyBaldassarre Definitely check out the bigger city Dresden nearby. It's really one of the German gems. Hope to see you on this trip soon!

@cmuchmore Год назад

Thanks, Teddy. An idea for a topic. Explain the proper use of "Geneve" and the 12 requirements to permit a Swiss watchmaker to use "Geneve" on its dial. It took me a lot of digging to figure it out and I think (and maybe I'm wrong) it is a guarantee of some level of excellence. Always enjoy your comments.

@dsvillalva Год назад

Lange is in a class all its own. They finish all their movements with the same level of detail from their entry level to their most exclusive offerings.

@JupiterTarts Год назад

Considering their "entry" level starts at $20k, they better!

@chia-mingyang5804 Год назад

Actually their Handwerkskunst series is finished better; overall Lang & Heyne and Moritz Grossmann have higher finishing level.

@quarters-eye8922 Год назад

If you knew the history of Lange, You might not be so enthusiastic.

@quarters-eye8922 Год назад

Lange used female Jewish prisoners of war in its factory for the Nazi’s during WWII. One prisoner was worked to death.

@songoku-jx3cb Год назад

Go is not very far behind and that’s mind blowing taking into consideration price difference

@tomastomastomas1521 Год назад

Junghans and nomos are my favorites

@mikekimmitt7907 Год назад

Keep 'em coming Teddy, just wanted to say thanks for the continued great content.... it IS appreciated, you are single handedly responsible for me actually spending LESS on watches as I am now enjoying a new appreciation of pieces from more affordable price brackets. All the best from Yorkshire here in the UK 🇬🇧 👍

@TeddyBaldassarre Год назад

Thank you, Mike. All the best from across the big pond!

@SinnerAndSaint Год назад

Great selection, awesome video! I really love the historical background you covered on each brand. As a German guy I highly appreciate this video! I think you covered all of the essential German brands from low to top tier that are also probably the most 'important' ones. I'm most fascinated by the variety German watchmaking offers. Most brands have their own unique styles and models and don't only copy each other or the Swiss. Thank you so much for showing!

@drnick40 Год назад

Thank you, Teddy! Excellent overview of the German watchmaking industry. As usual, you present a concise historical background and present the modern achievements of the manufacturers. This is very informative for the new watch enthusiasts who will get excited both by tradition and modern design and technology. An interesting line characteristic for the German watchmakers is their distinctive design features and the rebirth of the industry after the fall of the Berlin wall. To me a Bulgarian American this has important historical significance being a symbol of the supremacy of the free enterprise over the socialist dictatorship and planned economy. Outstanding video, Teddy!

@TeddyBaldassarre Год назад

Thank you very much, Nicola. I really appreciate the support. Enjoy the day!

@Electromanx3 9 месяцев назад

The supremacy of free enterprise over planned economy in terms of producing luxury goods was never in question.

@jonlim88 Год назад

This is great! Would love to have you continue this series of videos going through known and less-well-known brands for countries that have a strong watchmaking heritage. Thanks again, Teddy!

@m4jqp Год назад

I'd love to see more brand spotlights. You and the team are so knowledgeable, that shedding light on the history and legacy of different brands (well known or lesser known) would be great.

@richardbixler Год назад

Wow! Some truly exquisite time pieces in this showcase. @11:15 The Glashutte 60’s stole the show for me, what a beautiful dial and fonts on the hour markers. It’s really hard to find a dress watch that’s not generic and minimalist. Stunning, stunning watch imo.

@YaWaffles Год назад

Your timing is impecable, I was just trying to explore different German watch makers the other day. I would love to see a video on different regulator watches! Lange 1 is my grail watch and I really can't find to many regulator watches like it outside of GO's Pano watches! Great video as always!

@markikn3183 Год назад

Glad to see Wempe make your top 20 list in the blog post, Teddy. Have never regretted picking up my Zeitmeister Small Seconds handwind, a real stunner for those dress watch moments at an excellent price.

@theroadlesstraveled6253 Год назад

Content is great. Thank you for the extra focus on German watchmaking. Please continue adding in this format!!

@RicardoRodriguezFL Год назад

This is why I watch your channel. The history with the watches, as well as their founders, gives these watches more depth, and makes them more attractive to purchase.

@plamen2110 Год назад

Excelent video showcasing some of the best lesser known German brands that deserve more attention. Thank you Teddy!

@christophergan71 Год назад

A Lange the Patek of Germany is one of my holy trinity of watches

@angelopepe6016 Год назад

Great video, Teddy! In-depth history of brands and their achievements in horology is both captivating and educational for anyone who takes the art of watchmaking seriously. Please continue to make videos highlighting brands from different parts of the world. I'd like to see you do one on the history of an Italian brand called Locman. Their production is on the Mediterranean island of Elba, in Tuscany, Italy.

@magsblack8344 Год назад

My grail has been the Lange 1 for many years. In one year, I’ll finally have enough saved to acquire it. I’m literally counting the days.

@punkypink83 Год назад

Loved this. Really shone a light on a sector of the industry that doesn't get much attention. Recently picked up a Zeppelin 100 Jahre and I would love to get a couple more German watches.

Great content Teddy, appreciate you sharing such details. My dilemma has always been the cash. With a limited budget, choosing between a Patrimony 40mm and a Lange Saxonia thin is very hard…

Great list! I just LOVE German watches (Mühle G. - Nomos - Junghans) oh my 🫢 ... too many great brands. Thanks for sharing!

@jonathan1889 Год назад

Great informative video as always Teddy, a lesson learnt for many I think. I got most before they appeared but definitely learnt a few new names here... from the more affordable point of view as well there is also Junkers and Zeppelin to consider

@CharlesOffdensen Год назад

Germany has a huge tradition in watch making. In fact a German invented the watch - Peter Henlein.

What a great episode, thanks to you and your staff for doing the work to put out this level of content. I’m glad you left out a couple of my favorite Pforzheim brands, don’t want their prices spiking before I can add their pieces to my collection. *lol* Glad you included Moritz Grossman, it’s a brand that I’ve heard of before but knew nothing about. I’m sure a lot of your fans were in the same spot. Anyway, great stuff- keep it up!

Hey Teddy Greetings from Germany, more specific Pforzheim :) I knew that our city had a glorious past with the jewellery industry, but the fact that Laco was also founded here was new to me. Good to know, that makes the brand even more attractive for me

Thanks Teddy, Great video. GO has always been on my radar. I too would love to travel to that city to visit in Germany. Thanks for great information on German Made Watch’s.

Thanks for this video. German watchmaking gets overlooked a lot. So this video is a nice glimbs into the industry and its history. :)

@JustinContre Год назад

Thanks Teddy! I'm heading to Germany in 3 weeks for Oktoberfest and wanted to take home a watch as a souvenir. Now I have the background I need to shop!

@TeddyBaldassarre Год назад

You will have a blast there! That is something that should be on nearly everyone's bucket list. Have fun and I hope you are able to bring back a new companion home haha.

@pookiestock Год назад

Love my MG zeigerdatum…. I think they call it the 29er pointer date now. Beautiful watch. Keeps great time. A little bit thick. Teddy’s shop didn’t carry the model then, so I had to order it directly. Keep up the great videos. Learn about so many watch brands.

@billy.g3597 Год назад

That Moritz Grossmann piece shown here can simply be described as exquisite.

@derKunstler Год назад

Very nice video Teddy! For me as a German, it's always nice to hear you pronounce German words like "Luftwaffe" and all the names like Helmut. You do a great job, but it's still fun to hear an American pronounce it.

@TeddyBaldassarre Год назад

I try my best. Not the easiest language to pronounce IMO. I tried nearly everything but I had to give up when trying to say Glashütter Uhrenbetriebe and settled on GUB because I know the comments would be coming for me haha.

Great video , some interesting brands, have you heard of a German brand Kienzle, I have one from the 1960's, it was my grandads and then my dads, it saw a lot of use and I still wear it on occasion now. It's antimagnetic and automatic in a 34/35 mm case.

@KonfusedDude Год назад

One of my favorite videos from you Teddy. I appreciate the German watches. Japan would be great also!

@WriterandPhotographer Год назад

Great video Teddy............I would have to say that I like most every watch featured. The German watchmakers certainly produce a great product. As with any company that makes watches, I just hope that more return to a case size closer to 36mm, which is more practical on most wrists. Thankfully, one of the great things about NOMOS are the models in the 33 to 35mm range.

@isabelhoebel3189 Год назад

I enjoyed watching your video. I am a Rolex and Cartier fan and ofcourse used those brand during my younger years. I enjoyed wearing those watches. Now, it’s low profile and opted for Glashütte.

@eugener7856 Год назад

Kudos to Teddy for pronouncing all the brands correctly!

@quarters-eye8922 4 месяца назад

Bruno Sohnle is another great brand from Glashutte. Their Manual wind Unitas 6498 is lavishly finished with Gold Screwed Chatons, blued screws Perlage, including complete balance cock perlage decoration, Glashutte striping and double sunburst finishing to the winding wheels.

@carguy3645 Год назад

I love the Damasko watches. I have one preordered now. The DC86 Chronograph. It’s a long wait but will be worth it. 👍

@SergiRuiz_RelojeroTorpe Год назад

A very good brand and undervalued by collectors (I think due to ignorance) is Union Glashütte, which also came out of the GUB conglomerate, and is currently in the Swatch group. For me one of the best quality / price ratio.

@lamaludwig1470 Год назад

Great content! And thanks that you try to pronounce the German brand names and cities correctly. Most of the time it's very accurate.

@riothero313 Год назад

I just recently picked up my first German watch, literally the one pictured in the video. It's a bronze case "B" dial 40mm Stowa flieger. I snagged the hand wind with the decorated movement. It's kind of a no brainer to let a exhibition caseback not go to waste with an ugly auto instead of beautiful machine work. I love it; I make mental excuses to wear it with everything lol. "Oh I'm going out on a boat, no problem, I'll be careful I swear."
