Rare thumbs down for this video. Unlike similar previous videos, this one lacks the caveat/disclaimer that Watchfinder is owned by A. Lange & Söhne. Oh, and lower production volume does not equate to "more prestige," it just means intentionally limiting supply (and having less production facilities/employees) to artificially inflate "exclusivity" and price. Lastly, the audio quality on this video is subpar.
@@watchfinder Yup, I was about to link this one to him! And also WatchAdvisor's hands-on with the Hybris Mechanica Cal. 185, ofc it doesn't have your insane macro work but it's worth a 'watch' nonetheless!
@@RoelfvanderMerwe Journe is definitely a top tier watchmaker and his watches are beautifully decorated, but when it comes to complications and engineering, Lange and nothing else in my opinion.
As long as the Nautilus sells like hotcakes, Patek doesnt give a crap about anything or anyone else. Quality, heritage, etc are all meaningless when you sell the most coveted watch on the planet. Every rapper has to have one.
Mark this post: Lange will surpass PP in terms of collectability and desirability very soon. So under appreciated. No marketing, no IG followers, no movie stars or star athletes, just a great watchmaker doing great things.
For sure Lange makes nicer and better built watches than PP. PP has not much of a future. It'll soon be surpassed by MB&F and possibly even Greubel Forsey whose finishing is on a whole different level. PP isn't bad but Lange is better.
@@dangermouse8466ok buddy let’s slow down a bit haha.. I’m also of the opinion that Lange > Patek but to say MB&F and Greubel Forsey are anywhere near patek is insane
@@max12345678904 It's not insane at all. Greubel Forsey are technically superior to Patek and not just that, their finishing is so much better. As for MB&F, their watches have so much creativity that make Patek look ordinary.
@@max12345678904 What do you mean insane? Have you ever seen a Greubel Forsey or an MB&F? Greubel Forsey makes technically superior watches to Patek. Their tourbillon watches are way more accurate to what Patek create and then their finishing is on a level way higher. They're not known for having the best finishing on watches for nothing you know. As for MB&F, their watches are far more creative and visually appealing to Patek. Just face it, Patek have been overtaken by others.
Just to show the difference between ALS and PP when I got my Triple Split they offered me a tour of the factory and was introduced to several watchmakers that were involved in the assembly of the watch. That's for a 200k watch. People that buy a 200k PP just wait for months on end and then get it on the mail.
To my mind Lange is the finest one can get. If one could afford such a thing. That's not a criticism. Just a fact of life for most folk. The only time I was in the presence of a lange i was spellbound. I hid my Longines tank in my sleeve and then realized it was a mint mid fifties solid gold tank. Nothing to be ashamed of there.
Out of all non-independent watch manufacturer, I think Lange makes one of the nicest finished watches. The quality might lack compared to independent brands such as fp journe or voutilainen; however, I still think that Lange makes the most tastefully designed watches. I prefer to wear a Rolex as my daily watch because I'll end up looking down at my wrist throughout the entire day if I wore a Lange
A.Lange&Sohne is one of those makers that I have loved since I started to get into watches…I never really got into the Royal Oaks or the Pateks to be honest…these designs just do more for me…not like I can afford any of them anyway…
Visually, this is one of the most beautiful and most fascinating video on TH-cam ! And that A. Lange & Soehne 3D movement architecture is among the most captivating scenery you will ever see !!! Alas, for my money, A. Lange & Soehne will never be at the pinnacle of watchmaking ! Casio holds the post firmly ! But that negligible obstacle aside, in terms of sheer Art and Craft of Watchmaking A. Lange & Soehne is the best there is ! Holding the post firmly !
@@petrhaisman8645 4:10 He makes a joke that if you lay out the watch makers from end to end they probably wouldn't get any work done. The joke coming from other reviews where they have useless statistics like if you laid them out end to end they would cover the length of a football pitch.

@@jimmyjay122 However, you should consider that having them on your wrist is not as beautiful as you imagine; you would spend all your time being careful not to ruin it.
On the edge of my seat, waiting for the next Lange video! I've said for the last few years that I think Lange is the greatest watch maker in the world, over AP VC and PP!
You are so much brighter than most. You do your research, you prepare your script. You do not scream or stumble. Precious! There is a problem with the comma on the watch prices. Nice to know about them, anyhow.
Perhaps not on the level of the A. Lange & Söhne on display here (but what is?), this video production, content and delivery is a work of art in my eyes. Very well done to all involved in this production. What a pleasure.
They are really special watches. I have a Zietwerk and I can really appreciate the engineering and workmanship that goes into making something so unique. It is great that you can show this in your videos. Thank you
I fell in love with A Lange & Sohne watches after seeing my first one. Given a flush bank account and the choice between a Patek and an A. Lange, I'd go with the latter every time.
I remember my first experience with them. I basically toured all the physical watch boutiques in New York years ago. I had no idea of the brand (or the cost) but was really impressed by the bold design with function. Excited to learn more about them this week. 👍
It's no coïncidence you are the most popular horology channel on TH-cam. Just like ALS your obsession with producing an incredibly high quality product knows no limits. You inspire me to propose macros and viewing angles of much more modest watches on my really modest channel. Thank you for that and I really hope you'll make it to 1 million subs soon
Lange watches and especially the movement finishing is just stunning, I find the movements to be my favorite to look at in the industry, the depth, architecture, color contrast and overall finish are impeccable, truly beautiful works of art.
Lange movements are so beautiful! at the entry level (20~30K USD range), they beat everyone and at the high-end level (50K USD onwards), they are on the Holy Trinity level.
Such an amazing brand with the most beautiful watches! Way, way...waaaaay out of my price range, but sincerely something I can only dream of owning someday! Amazing video!
Bell Helicopter does a similar thing with their gearboxes (transmissions). They put them together, test them- Those that pass are taken apart/inspected/and reassembled. Those that don’t pass are fixed- and the process is don’t again.
My suggestion is to do a review on Vincent Calabrese and some of his wonderful creations. His Day & Night is my favourite timepiece. ( with its unique 24 hour complication)
Yep, it's really the Big 4. ALS has been up there for years as far as I'm concerned. The Saxonia Thin is also my grail watch, but where would I wear one these days. I never dress up (retired). Great video!
Yeah I have no idea what ap is doing. They are just spewing out diamonded out limited edition royal oaks. I love the royal oak and the offshore is my favourite watch togheter with the BP FF and sea dweller but you can't buy ap new unless they are filled witch nasty diamonds and or is in gold.
I'd be the happiest if by some miracle, Mr. Taking Hands would show and talk about the retrograde complication. I think is so underrated but damn beautiful and useful.
I knew about A. Lange & Söhne but thank you for explaining them in such detail, they may not be a part of the Holy Trinity in the watch community but they themselves are a holy grail for watch enthusiast who truly understand them.
1440 minutes in each, I keep track of them with my datejust. Time is money. I bought my used Rolex when i got serious about time management. I borrowed the money for my Rolex 4 years ago. My point in sharing my story, isn’t about fashion. Its about my time on earth. I wear mine always (running a roofing company, gardening and building Motocycles).
I admit. Although I'm watching TH-cam in 1080p most of the time, for this series, I'm switching to 4k source. Even if it's a bit of a hassle for me, it just worth it.
Want more great A. Lange & Söhne stories? Read the articles here: www.watchfinder.com/Articles
Would it be possible to have a close up look at a 381.026, or a similar model, in the next Lange video?
There's a ton of echo in the audio for this video, just fyi (checked other YT videos and there's no echo)

What a good watch ! ... and a touching and encouraging story.
My Goodness - the craft is breathtaking. Beyond words.
Love, love, love your videos. Thank you.
They are really special watches. I have a Zietwerk and I can really appreciate the engineering and workmanship that goes into making something so unique. It is great that you can show this in your videos. Thank you

Absolute favorite watch brand. The epitome of mechanical art and beauty. One of the few watches to look even better in person
I had never heard of A. Lange & Sohne before following your channel. These are right at the top of my wish list. Now, just to sell a kidney or two...
Watching your videos are so very soothing and relaxing. They are like meditation for me.
There are none better on the world wide web.
I can`t show it, so I`ll have to tell it: Magnificent pieces. Excellent video. Great work!
Absolutely Lange is King 👑..don't know why watch enthusiasts are obsessed with only AP, Patek & RM ..
Sheeps. They just buy what they are told to.
People who are obsessed with RM are not serious collectors
RM shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence!!
I love Patek and others but A Lange & Shöne is truly a watch brand I love to love
That earthy toned dial with what looks like a microscopic pebble-dash finish, very handsome watch.
3:41 what is this absolute beauty?! love that dial!
I've discovered this channel today and been binge watching like crazy!
And I thought I couldn't love A. Lange & Söhne even more!
Perfection 👌🏻, holy grail watch maker IMO!
