      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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    Lange is in a classic "Apple v Microsoft" marketing dilemma. Patek does something to watch collectors that Lange just doesn't (yet) - that is not a battle that can be fought with technical achievements, finishing, etc. It is a battle for the heart, one that Lange doesn't seem to understand. I agree that modern Lange is better than modern Patek, but Patek has over a dozen truly iconic references. Calatrava, Nautilus, Complications, Grand Complications, etc. Additionally, Lange sincerely needs to focus on wearability. If they start putting out Zeitwerks or Datographs in 38mm cases, 46mm lug to lug, and 10mm thick? Christ, look out.

      I especially liked the earlier reference to Rolex - “They make 800,000 to a million per year. If you laid them out end to end, it still wouldn’t be as long as a Rolex waiting list.”

      @@Valera_Scotland Stupid thing is, I remember about four years ago I was picking up an Oris 65, and I stopped at the local Rolex AD to check out a Polar Explorer 2. It was just about a week after the Paul Newman Daytona went to auction. I was able to walk into the AD, ask to see that Explorer in the window, he sat with me while I tried it on (and commented about the size of the lugs), and I said in all confidence that I’d be back for it for my birthday in a few months.

    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.

    There are 3 things that I love in life: Family, cars , watches. To be more specific Family wife , kids; check; cars Ferrari check; watches A. Lange & Sohne not checked. I love attention to detail and ALS is one of the best. I have come to realize that I don’t need to own 20 or so watches but only the ones of such high quality as ALS. Maybe, a 5 watch collection. As a collector it is always hard to sell because each purchase has a special meaning as a specific reference point in time during one’s journey in life. Maybe, because of sentimental value I will not sell any in my possession but establish a new goal for ownership of ALS within 1 year and stop the procrastination.
