This special visit of A. Lange & Söhne was for sure a fantastic experience and we are very happy to share this rather long video with you. At first, we thought to produce something shorter, but there were so many things to see and the discussion with Anthony de Haas, Product Development Director of the brand was simply impossible to cut!!!
Enjoy

Breathtaking. Now I understand why a Lange watch can't be cheap. The watchmakers and artisans combine challenge and pleasure into the workspace. Without the pleasure of achieving these complicated tasks there could not be anybody to do this work every day. These people must be very proud to work here and produce these time pieces. I loved this video. Thanks.
Own three Langes myself (Lange 1 Soiree, 1815 Chronograph and Datograph (1st gen in platinum), and to say that I'm a fanboy would be a huge understatement: I had the privilege of experiencing the factory tour myself, and what I saw there exceeded my wildest expectations: the passion and dedication of all Lange employees, and the extreme focus on detail is something I have never witnessed before with any other company in any industry. Thanks for posting this amazing video, big ups from Amsterdam !
Nice selection you have there! Thanks for sharing this with us and thanks for watching, best to you.
You got the 1815? what a delight it must be to wear art on your wrist!
The skill and patience that goes into making these pieces of art is absolutely out standing, once you see the attention and detail that goes into the watch, you can appreciate the price tag.
My mind is officially blown. Now I know why they are one of the greatest watch makers in the world. Between them and Patek, I think they are at the cutting edge of both tradition and technology.
"Not everybody has every day a good day"
The human touch, artistry, uniqueness, and craftsmanship are what makes these time pieces so special!
Tikkie tikkie tikkie!!
As soon as he said that I thought, ‘that’s not very American’ lol an American company would never accept that sort of thinking. Which yes I’m American so I sympathize with that thinking, but when one person can make three watches before another person can make two, That slower person has created a bottleneck in your supply-chain
@@4200Shields idk where you’ve been working but that comparison doesn’t seem fair. Can you name one American watch company that makes handmade watches where that philosophy is applied?
Golden statement
Lange is the one and only watch brand that keeps Patek up at night
They sell every watch they make at whatever price they charge. I doubt they are worried and I doubt Patel is worried.
@@rickjason215 glaube mir, das tun sie aber doch.
It would be Grand Seiko too.
Da Da, Lange za Mene je Kvalitetni od Pateka, sigurno 👍👍
@@musliselmani3994 I am sorry but I couldn’t get what you are to say. You agree or disagree?
I've watched this more than once. Mr. de Haas "the Dutchman" could, and should do his own show. Fun to watch his enthusiasm and obvious knowledge.
He sure could ;)
Yeah, he's good and very passionate about what he does.
The best thing about this video is the excitement of the people involved about those incredible pieces of wearable art Lange creates. So elegant!
The passion Anthony shows for ALS confirms that when you've achieved greatness in your work you deserve at least one ALS watch. If you are determined to succeed in your field with as much enthusiasm, commitment and precision you will one day own one of these exquisite timepieces.

Well said
What I love about this guy is, that he doesn't go with all the stupid marketing language. He is open to say things like "This is is not quite as intelligent as the other one" or "We looked and couldn't find a way, so we did it this way". Honesty is way more attractive than a fake demonstration of Tim Cook.
This video popped up on my 'suggested list'. Didn't understand one pixel of the technical explanations that were being given so lovingly and expertly. Yet, was totally mesmerised by the conversation... it was riveting... so much so that I watched the whole video... and have a completely new appreciation for the phenomenal skills of their watchmakers, engravers and all others to make what are actually works of art that also function as a watch... Perhaps the BEST watch video I've seen on TH-cam... Thank you SO MUCH...
Maybe I'm easily amused, but my mind was blown at that tiny section of dial that appears only when it's needed. They could've skipped that and saved a ton of work, time, parts, etc., but it's Lange, so there it is.
That's a real treat to see.
for that price they also should give massages and blow jobs to clients any day of the week
@@mrpicky1868 i wouldn't mind that tbh
Which part?
23:48
I lost my sh*t when that little bit of the dial popped out of nowhere.
Im gonna buy one as soon as I win the lottery
Good luck and enjoy it ;)
Richard Lange Watch, the have a watch with a moon phase precisely for 1058 years
Excellent show! Each of their watches is so damn beautiful! Really makes you appreciate their attention to detail/precision and beauty even more when you get to see all of the fine craftsman creating their art on camera, very very cool. I also love how a visitor can take of his watch and they know which one in the shop engraved it. That’s really neat. Once again, great show.
This is the 12 time I have seen this video in over a year. Such a passion and gives me lots of motivation on the watchmaking world. Thank you for this episoide really! Much love!
Oh that's really nice, thanks so much and yes it's really special!
Beautiful explanations using his hands. A natural teacher. Thank you so much. There is actually someone on this planet (many it seems) that enjoy this esoteric little field as much as i do. And ‘enjoy’ is the key word, not to be confused with ‘afford’ -which will never be possible.
This was an amazing episode.
I gained a ton of respect for this company with how down to earth the people from the company are.
Thanks for this nice comment!!
Amazing video. Thank you. The Richard Lange “Pour le Mérite” is incredible. At 23:50 That’s the first time I have seen the moving quarter dial on this watch and didn’t even know it moved. In all pics it is present. I love this watch even more now. Grail of grails.
Yes, I audibly gasped when that quarter dial appeared!
My god, these beautiful timepieces have to be the absolute worlds best, thanks for the tour
This master piece is amazing and explained so precisely, the assembling technical staff soooooo cool on the job with high precision to pin point, really appreciate this video, big applause to Lange & Sohne beyond admiration. Jacolyn.

"This is the finish department. Not because there are Finnish people, eh? Heh heh. But it's the _finishing_ department."
Apparently this Dutchman has picked up the classic German sense of humor.
Lol
Absolutely
May be because he's a "rewinding dutchman"?
Believe it or not, I found this funny. Was laughing out loudly!
Absolutely Stunning.....
More longer videos please....
What a Horological Treat.....
Ok, got you ;) Thanks for watching!
I had to watch the Video again! I am so amazed! Bill told me to learn watchmaking because the skill would steady my nerves and make me a better surgeon! I love these timepieces! I Love the Datograph Perpetual Chronograph!! I think the most beautiful timepiece in the World!
Very fascinating watchmaking craftsmen and woman. Im in heaven! Thanks for the allowing us to see inside the workshops.
Very happy you liked it. On our side, love doing them!!
I find myself watching the tour again and thoroughly enjoying the video! Thank You so Much for Your Attention to details! I’m in awe of the engineering of these Fine German Timepieces! I would love to have the Triple Split Chronograph Model! A. Lange & Sohne is one of my dream Watches.
A thing of beauty is a joy forever. What a beautiful thing L&S is. Great video, thanks.
I could listen to these watch experts talk for hours about the craft. Great stuff. Anthony has such a calming and engaging voice.
Wow, this was a true pleasure to watch.
Very glad you enjoyed it, thanks!
Best watch video I've seen. As a machinist, I find this topic highly satisfying. I get the sense that these watches in particular are extraordinarily innovative and well designed.
Absolutely stunning brand and as a German of course my grail company so to speak. Very interesting report about A. Lange & Söhne. Love to see that the watchmaker at 15:40 wears a Nomos watch from the rivals just around the corner :D (Even though they're in a completely different price range) Thanks Marc for bringing this to us!
Real happy you liked it!!! All the super best to you
I noticed that too, cool detail!
My first time watching your videos! Thoroughly enjoyed ! And Subscribed! I enjoyed the tour. LOVED THE ENGINEERING, CRAFTSMANSHIP, ARTISTRY, AND ATTENTION TO DETAILS. BEAUTIFUL!!! I observed a Watchmaker build a movement from the ground up when I was in High School. Bill Halvorsen was an engineer and explained everything as he was making parts and assembly. I’m still in awe of what I learned from him! He was so patient. I love the beautiful time pieces seen today. Thank You all so much! I would Love to have Several of their pieces. Lots of awesome design, Engineering, and implementation of all the Complications! Again, Thanks so much! Yes, I’m a “Watch Addict!!”
What a fantastic comment, thanks a lot and i hope you will enjoy our many other videos 👍👍👍 best to you
This was amazing! The passion in the Production Manager's eyes when he talks shows he is the man for the job. So cool...
When the watchmaker put that axel in the centre of the movement and you can see the precision of fitting. Never actually seen A Lange & Sohne in person. One of my bucket lists to do. Great job Mr M.A.D
This is a piece of art. I would not be able to afford even the cheapest one. I love analogue clocks. ❤️
I think I could spend a year just walking around the manufacture, asking questions and watching these people master their skills...
These watches are perfection, beautiful beautiful amazing watches. I could look at them all day. They are only few people who truly appreciate them. This company blows all the others out of the water. I only wish I could afford one of these masterpieces.
Very modest and pleasant guy, explained in a way that was simplifying but at the same time didnt make you feel unintelligent!!! Wonderful person :)
That is a beautiful peace of art, I would never be able to wear one I'd just sit and look at it going, just beautiful.
Unbelievable craftsmanship. A true work of art.
Great video!
The Germans are brilliant making/ manufacturing exotic cars, watches & writing instruments! 👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you, Marc... After 4 years, I am enjoying this wonderful watch adventure video again! Superb, as always!
That’s cool, thanks a lot
The already strong nerdism that I have , just went into the next level. Thank you for sharing and well done. I own some Swiss timepieces but will never afford a Lange... I know this and im okay with it.
But I appreciate the true horology these folks produce and are passionate about.
That's right and totally understand your point of view. Being able to appreciate it is already very nice, like art! Best to you
That's really the most 'GERMAN' mechanical Watch- Maker and 'Germany' means the highest grade of PERFECTION in every detail and the overalldesign of a watch. Congratulations for a wonderful look inside the worldfamous factory of Lange und Söhne ... :-)
Utterly amazing how focused these watchmakers are for hours on end.
Amazing! Absolutely magic and it's just so inspiring listening to Anthony de Haas. What wonderful personality. I'm in awe. Thank you!
Wow, simply amazing dedication of all of the men and women who make and designed them
These folks are the Special Forces of Watchmaking. Wonderful to see.
Thanks for this feature. I do hope I can own one masterpiece from A. Lange & Söhne someday.
Brilliant video. What a joy to see A. Lange u. Söhne watches explained in such a direct manner!
I love it when a company knows exactly where it stands and how it is perceived.
15:45 NOMOS watch in the Lange workshop.
The Lange representative is seriously passionate about his craft. He behaves like a true passionate engineer. Makes me respect the brand even more.
I will buy nomos because it has been endorsed by the master watch maker of Langa himself
how are there any downvotes? Wow so impressive the germans have a style all their own and such technical skill, i love it.
Fantastic video sir. Your host was very knowledgeable and quite gracious...and the watches...stunning!!
Many thanks and yes he was great!!! All the very best to you
Love Anthony Dehass! The way he explains the watches are priceless!
We like it very much too!!!
Be careful please.It is"de Haas" and not "de Hass"de Haas meaning "The rabbit" and "de Hass" meaning "The hate"But I know what you mean...
The 1815 Tourbillon Handwerkskunst 730.048 is my favourite watch. I love what the brand stands for.
The watch-maker/assembly proffessional was wearing a Nomos (minute 15:40 in the video!) What great publicity, and almost a ''poinçon'' for Nomos which deserves all the credit in the world for what they do...
I noticed that too, that's funny. But NOMOS is not their competitor, a different price level.
@@chieferson that was my point!
Now I want a Lange watch. The attention to detail on such a small scale is astounding!
Man, I loved this episode! Anthony is very passionate and knowledgeable it seems. Erg gaaf! A. Lange & Sohne was al op mijn lijst maar nu helemaal :)
Naturally didn't really catch the end part, but thanks so much ;)
What a nice and passionate guy Mr De Haas is! Very refreshing hearing him explain things.
I love A. Lange & Söhne, my grail watch is the Zeitwerk, they make timeless watches.
More of this, Thank you and please :D
Very welcome and love the Zeitwerk too!!
This is why I'm a horollogist!! This is why I'm in love with mechanical time pieces and the geniuses behind them. I doubt I'll ever own one so refined and amazing but I do own some nice watches and I'm just getting started. Love A.Lange & Söhne!
What a great insight to such a fantastic company committed to the craft of high quality products. No matter how many videos I watch, I am completely fascinated with such high quality craftsmanship. I would love to visit and see some of this work for myself. This video was very enjoyable, thank you!
Thanks a lot and very happy you enjoyed this!! All the very best to you
What a wonderful craftsmanship. I am overwhelmed watching it.
The attention to detail is mind-bending! You really see where the money goes...
They say that the Holy Trinity of watchmakers are Breguet, Patek, and Vacheron. Well deserved but they better make a place setting for the 4th. A. Lange is magic in every imaginable way. Amazing
15:44 really cool to see that the Lange watchmaker is himself wearing a Nomos Tangente
That's an Ahoi Atlantik.
@@CountWestwest I stand corrected. *Ahoi Atlantic
He can't afford the one he's making.
@@ugaugauga488The one he’s making is 500k 😅
Thx for this longer, in depth, video. It was very educational and really revealed the passion with which this company approaches their product line. More pls!!
Love these detailed and slower videos, especially when combined with the beautiful shots of the movements and watches.
Props to MAD and team.
And the good news is that we really love making them too!!! So hopefully we'll manage to do some more
This is not long at all; if it were a few hours I'd be watching all night. Fascinating. Thanks for uploading this, would like to see more in even greater detail.
Just stunning craftsmanship! I want one! *does google search and goes to website*
holy moly.....let me see....would I rather have this watch or the house I live in?
Yeah, I know. a lady spent 10 hours finishing 1 little piece among hundreds. I will never own this watch, but I have the right mechanical knowledge to appreciate it.
And that’s perfect, very seriously 👍👍👍
Masterfully made, and beautifully made. The intricacy of the work is one to behold up there in the highest realms of human artwork
Absolutely fantastic video! Thanks very much. What a gorgeous brand A. Lange & Sohne is!
You are so welcome and thanks for watching!
Fantastic video !! blown away with the perfection to detail.
The hidden part of the dial that appears when required.
I'm absolutely stunned by the beauty of these watches!!! I#m in love, I hate all the digital ones or the modern designs, but these are an absolute beauty, especially the more classic/old looking ones.
c'est juste splendide, la classique tourbillon reste une pièce d'exception, j'adore et je rêve d'en avoir une, bravo pour le reportage, la passion transpire de l'image.. grande maison d'horlogerie Lange & Söhne
Merci beaucoup pour votre commentaire et on adore faire ce genre de visites filmées. Bien à vous
Very impressive manufacture, beautiful artwork.
Wow! Superb design and craftsmanship. Anthony de Haas is a great communicator, and a huge asset to the company.
What a wonderful video, it is so exceptional to see this factory and get such detailed and fun explanations. Congratulations, this is top quality watch reporting. This video just sums up why we love watches and why they are such fascinating objects...Ce format de vidéo long est rare, mais tellement appréciable, surtout ne coupez rien au montage, ça aurait été dommage !
Thanks and merci beaucoup!!! We indeed love to do these long formats and will do more and more of these. All the very best
The minds behind the idea,fabrication,assembly and the final product ... astonishing.
I like their calm, slightly referencing the Hapsburg Empire days of yore esthetic. It’s congruous with a mechanical watch.
Another superb insight Marc. And how wonderful to have such a nice guy as Anthony sharing the beautiful workmanship, passion and dedication shown by A Lange & Sohne. Simply stunning and unique timepieces. I would so like to do a tour of their factory. Thanks so much for putting this together really appreciate it.
Thanks so much for these kind words, really makes us happy!! Have a great day
this company is nothing short of unbelievable! absolutely fantastic!
Great video. The best I’ve seen on Lange so far. Professionally produced and captivating. Mr De Haas was great at explaining the intricacies of haute horlogerie and I could stare at those movements all day long - stunning watches!
Many thanks, very happy you enjoyed this!
Wow I don't know what to say, I am speechless! I was sweating through most of this video. Simply stunning!
Absolutely amazing! And Anthony looks like a great guy!
Totally happy to watch a long format video when it is regarding perfection, like here. This was so interesting. 7 hours to finish a part which can only be seen through the exhibition case back is mind blowing.
Easily the best watchmaker company in the world. AP, PP or VC has got nothing on A.Lange & Sohne. They make beautiful and most complicated timepieces yet very understated which is why they stand out as the best along with PP.
But they are not Patek nor will they ever be! 1839 induction ,since 1939, family owned. Who owns lange? Could it be a company that owns 20 other brands as well? Most records for timepieces at all auctions? When you can say continuous business since 1839 and NOT 1995 corporate owned . Then you can mouth off. until then. SSSHHHHH!!! Patek Philippe IS Horology!! And VC is right behind them!
@@irishceallaigh Here comes the Swiss fanboy. Why can't we just appreciate both Lange and Patek for the masterpieces they are? While we're at it, why not appreciate JLC, FP Journe and Vacheron? They are all behemoths in the watch world. However, I don't like AP. They are a one watch wonder with no true passion for watchmaking. You might disagree with me, but even THE Philippe Dufour agrees with me.
@@abiromu
Simply right.
@@irishceallaigh Patek carries some pride...lol
I will put bovet in that also pp & bovet
I’m very thankful to you that you posted this video (a lange is my dream watch maker) but I’m sad this video is so short 😔
One of my favorite watch companies based strictly on what I have seen in videos.
I love the double wheel date.
I love his guide; you know he knows every piece of metal in the timepieces yet he never makes you feel like he’s trying to outsmart you with diagrams and an overbearing amount of knowledge but you feel his passion in every word.
Yes a very interesting tour guide.
Amazing! N1 watch brand in mean time. Just a dream for a real watch lover. Thanks
Isn’t this a lovely video. Things like this make me like watches so much at a time when everyone’s cell phone has the date and time right there
That's nice to hear and very true that it becomes more complicated to understand the value/substance of these magnificent objects!
Amazing video, showcasing how insanely complicated the creation of these timepieces is. For future videos I would love to see way more super macro footage.
Those type of shots take a long time, but I understand your point and we love doing them!! Thanks and best to you
Thank you thewatches.tv team and Marc for producing this spectacularly informative video. Much appreciated!! Your team makes the whole community a much better place!!
That is so nice to hear, thanks so much!!!!
Fascinating! That's craftsmanship at its best. Thank you, I enjoyed that.
Mark l can watch this video over and over again thank you so much for taking us to dream.
You are so welcome, thanks so much and it's a real pleasure to do and share! Best to you
Lange & Sohne is the Ultimate watch for the real collectionists. You are a collezionista & specialist, and a special person to want one and wear one, and buy one. Because you know something more than the rest of the world. Its not the brand, its the exclusive club you enter into. its not Ferrari, not Bugatti, not Lamborghini, its more Aston Martin but its much much more...you are now a real exclusive club in your own right. On your own.
Nicely said!!
Fantastic production! Kudos to TheWatches.tv for securing this interview/opportunity.
Very happy you enjoyed it, thanks a lot!!
This was a fantastic video - thank you! More of these, please!
Ok, we hear you ;)
i love that man's cheery aura and passion, truly class and an amazing individual
by this i mean the the Dutchman haha,
Magnifique vidéo! Comme toujours, votre chaîne reste, encore et toujours, la meilleure en terme de qualité journalistique, vous ne vous contentez clairement pas simplement de lire les communiqués de presse!
La qualité de leurs montres dépassent largement les préjugés (infondé) que le Suisse que je suis pouvait avoir. Mon étonnement encore plus grand se situe dans le fait qu'ALS a réussi a transcender l'aspect purement ingénierique pour créer une véritable identité esthétique allemande propre à la marque. Je sens, personnellement, qu'ils ont pris une avance non négligeable sur leurs collègues suisses en ce qui concerne le rapport "qualité mécanique/finissions/prix" de leurs montres, où la compétition Helvète se repose sur une valeur ajoutée? Trêve de commérage, merci encore pour cet aperçu des ateliers allemands!
Merci beaucoup pour ce commentaire très constructif! Bonne journée à vous
