  • Welcome to our Connoisseur Conversation from Watches and Wonders 2023 with Ben Clymer, founder and executive chairman of Hodinkee, and Wilhelm Schmid, our CEO. Together, they share insights about our newest addition to the ODYSSEUS family, the ODYSSEUS CHRONOGRAPH, and reflect on two novelties from last year, the ODYSSEUS in titanium and the RICHARD LANGE MINUTE REPEATER. We hope you enjoy this inspiring conversation between these two watch enthusiasts.
    We invite you to discover more about our presence at Watches and Wonders 2023 and our ODYSSEUS CHRONOGRAPH: bit.ly/3JGaOAh

    I love that this gentleman states he dislikes waiting lists. It's nice to be flat out told no, no more orders, than to be dragged along and offered other pieces you do not want for "a chance" to land the watch you want. Take notes watch world. Keep it real with consumers, we will actually appreciate it.

    Hello I wanted to mention to you that it would be VERY nice if you ALL would do a wrist check at some point in the videos so we can see what everyone is wearing. That is part of the fun of all this anyway. I would love to see what is on everyones wrist and I am sure I am not alone on this. Please consider making this part of every video you make. Thanks.

    Lange makes beautiful pieces. The finish and attention to detail is amazing. What’s missing in my opinion for the price-point, is the wow factor on the dial. They need to spend more time playing with the dial materials to make them less stoic, like they did with the Saxonia dark-blue gold flux boutique variant.

      Thank you very much for your interest in A. Lange & Söhne.
      Unfortunately the time-only variant of the CABARET is no longer part of our collection for several years.
      With some luck you can still find examples in auctions or the secondary market.
      Please let us know if you have any further questions.

      Thank you very much for your interest in A. Lange & Söhne.
      The model that Ben Clymer mentions at that moment, is the Richard Lange “Pour le Mérite”, a truly special and very complicated, but at the same time understated masterpiece.
      The salient technical hallmark of the Richard Lange “Pour le Mérite” - and of all “Pour le Mérite” models since 1994 - is a fusée-and-chain transmission.

    Hmmm...
    If for him the ideal is that you do not even feel the watch (titanium being so light and the temperature assimilating to the skin temperature) then maybe best to not wear one at all...
    Me conservative enjoys that I feel wearing a watch, heavy steel already great, Platinum even better...
    But then again: de gustibus non est disputandum or variatio delectat...
    I love Lange watches and a Zeitwerk is coming... in the heaviest version ;-)

    I think Lange has fallen as a brand, their pre-requisite to get some of their timepiece is so turn off. They used to be my favorite watch brand.

  • @oliverkuno8679
    @oliverkuno8679 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great Brand I thought, looking at my Odysseus in WG with the rubber shows that the rubber seems to be a Cheapy, it shows signs of ‘blooming’ after time which you see on cheap rubber bands on cheap watches…For Lange the Odysseus with rubber is where the Case is made by SUG and the band maybe in China by looking at the quality. No reason for the limitations they are talking about in that vid…
