A Lange Söhne Surpassed Patek Philippe | 308.025 & Datograph Perpetual

[@Crooked_Clown]

I don't think they're under appreciated but more like too damn expensive for the average Joe.

[@balldem]

They aren’t intended for you

[@andy_yeeqi966]

And Patek is not expensive and overprice?

[@PrashantNeelam]

Covering the under rated A Lange and Sohne along with the Grand Seikos! Great work! Loved this video, like always :)

[@impexRQ]

A Lange & Sohne is simply the best watch manufacturer in the world - they produce art - congratulations

@@tomw485 yes, one the flamboyant nature of france and one the industrial nature of germany

[@Lavi-Aemilia-Astori]

@@itskyyuuuu it is great but I personally find F.P Journe hands looking funny

[@pedramtajeddini5100]

@itskyyuuuu imo ALS movements are more beautiful and FPJ watches are overpriced. Personally i even prefer the dials of ALS watches. So i also think ALS is the best watchmaker.

[@traviswatts6661]

I experienced Lange for the first time in the metal 3 months ago. I was beyond impressed. Congratulations on the acquisition of this amazing timepiece 😍

[@almeladze]

Seconds reset function is awesome as you dont have to wait till the seconds hand gets to zero for proper adjustment of the watch. At 8:29 you are showing us a different watch!

[@balazsgalambos4458]

Awesome video as always,that watch,well......I'm speechless,what to say. Masterpiece and again, congratulations

[@samsonnava5450]

I have the grande Langematik Saxomat black face large date and it is my grail watch, I love it more than my Patek, the movement is incredible when you turn the watch around

[@jitendragupta4978]

Brother I appreciate your efforts the way you making videos, always helpful

[@officialMainspring]

this is my big out date saxonia grail. congrats on it. one of these days I'll get one.

[@Armoer]

That 0-reset hacking function is something I had on a €300 60’s Longines 6952 movement. Great useful complication. I don’t understand why it is so rare.

[@yasyasmarangoz3577]

Yeah...

[@yasyasmarangoz3577]

Didn't even know it existed.

[@frankthetank5013]

Geez AB, what a beautiful watch! Congrats 🔥👌

[@pth8888]

If you like the sec zero reset function, check out GO Senator Chronometer which also has the function and in addition come with minute detent function which make setting the minute hand to the minute super easy!

[@aminreviews2311]

Amazing watch and great discussion of your decision process. Beautiful images as always.

[@rickonwatches9932]

Beautiful watch and nice comprehensive overview, well done AB! 37mm would be my only hesitation as it’s on the very smallest end of what I would consider wearing.

[@ignacioa3698]

One of theeee best looking dress watch I've ever seen. I mean that dial design, the attention to all details is obvious, that dial color is beautiful...man that color is beeautiful, and that caseback!!! Uff!! I've always regarded Lange&Sohne as a top watch brand...no question about it. It's just unfortunate not alot folks even know not heard if the brand unless you're a watch nerd. Congrats AB!!! Good stuff and enjoy it to the fullest.

[@theenavybluemonster]

Damn! The zero reset function is so cool!

[@garysmith1477]

Nice. I hope you hold on to this. It will serve you well.

[@rayleeaustralia]

Beautiful watch. If Lange have the hype as PP, it will be twice the price

[@janmarysko4151]

When you pushed down the crown was there a delay around 2 seconds before the second hand started to move? That is upractical when you want to set time your watch very precisely. I understand it is mechanical watch so it does not make sense, but when I have new watch, i tend to set time exactly. Is it just me? :D

[@hugopina7592]

Beautiful piece AB!

[@MrSaadmubarak]

Nice video overall, but just one note; contrary to what you mentioned, platinum typically scratches easier than gold.

[@robboyer6448]

Beautiful piece, congratulations! Love the zero reset

[@eyeheartsushi2212]

Stunning watch and I really like the “zero reset” but, what makes you say Lange watches are under appreciated?

[@SoCalWatchReviews]

Congrats man, stunning piece!!

[@watchfan210]

Add a Lange 1 in yellow gold... The two watches would be the perfect couple!

[@hocly22]

Awesome video man - one of my favourite Langes... but what's wrong with the zero reset here 6:46? It doesn't start straight away after you push the crown in (looks like 2 seconds delay before it starts running) - that kind of defeats the purpose (time setting accuracy with reference) Could you let me know? I'm seriously considering this watch, but if this is a quirk of the watch, I don't think I will shell out for it.

[@jameswong6590]

AB, for the date window, from the 1st to the 9th of every month, the "blank" window for the first digit drives me crazy. It throws off the symmetry completely.

[@itskyyuuuu]

Yup that would drive me nuts. Would only wear it the 2nd half of the month.. but then why buy it at all? Who am I kidding this is out of my price range hahaha

[@cruizintrojan]

I agree it’s not ideal to have the first digit blank but you get used to it and it doesn’t bother in the long run.

[@sigve6165]

I would not call you Biased since you bought the watch for a reason. When are you going to announce the winner of the give awey?

[@charlieboylol527]

Best watch maker in the world ,beautiful timepieces

[@alanparks7919]

I’m a Patek owner and fan, but have to say that no one who loves watches underrates ALS. They’re brilliant.

[@greaterbayareahero1401]

At retail price they are slightly expensive for the average person but not that they are not worth it. On the preowned market they are still reasonable. Not sure how long it will stay this way though.

[@swiss86watches]

Wow great choice I just got the Timex Navi and Small seconds Orient

[@Joe-xo3xy]

HI there, I am very curious as to why you said Grand Seiko is getting traction.

[@sreekargurijala]

Congratulations for Ur watch purchase, it's a beautiful one 😍

[@almeladze]

So where is the comparison to Patek? Unfortunately I heard a bunch of references to Grand Seiko and basically nothing about Patek...

[@yaliyu01]

Why shouldnt we change the date during 9 pm - 2 am?

[@markmaier2503]

Love this piece. I can foresee a Lange joining my collection next year. Btw, surprisingly, some Panerai like the 574 have zero reset functionality.

[@NewYorkNewYorker]

What did you not like about the Traditionnelle? I'm considering having both this exact model and my current Traditionnelle in my collection but I'm worried about overlap.

[@leyay7540]

I don't think they would overlap too much. Traditionnelle is a great dress watch, balanced and elegant design with great details. However, its non-hacking movement is the deal breaker for me.

[@NewYorkNewYorker]

@@leyay7540 I currently wear the Traditionnelle in rotation in a business casual setting every day on a casual strap, so I don't mind the no hacking seconds. If it calls for it, I'll switch to an alligator strap. For me, I think the Lange looks almost identical to it besides the big date, so I would likely wear it all the time instead and leave the Traditionnelle for dress only - and wearing it less would probably make me want to sell it!

[@leyay7540]

@@NewYorkNewYorker For me their similarity is only the small second arrangement, otherwise no more. Their cases, dial executions and most important, movements are all different. And both of them are good enough to share the wrist time.

[@tippykaffu4047]

Higher end Glashutte Originals have them too and also for less than Lange 308.25. If I were to critic Lange for their engineering, it would be why they never did the one of the most praised German watchmaking invention, flying tourbillions. They would make ordinary French tourbillions instead.

[@GChris-ny8fp]

I have to agree that this could be the perfect watch (black dial for me). Quick question for you, WCS : Does it bother you that there is no 0 the first nine days of the month?

[@janihellberg6911]

This annoys me as much as quartz second hand that doesen't hit the markers. Glashutte Original have made it lot better by making the first disk show 0. The blank disk looks akward in pictures.

[@joeljoel233]

I did not know that Platinum is more scratch resistant than white gold. Thank you for the video. Serious pogi points on the watch.

[@leyay7540]

Though depends on the exact formula of different gold, as I know platinum usually isn't more scratch resistant than golds.

[@leyay7540]

@@tomw485 We are talking about watch cases, not pure elements. 18k golds are much harder than pure gold.

[@juniortoledo8088]

ALS is not underrated, just not as popular as other brands. They are cater to a specific clientele and maintain a level of exclusivity with less than 5K watches produced per year. The Sax-o-mat with zero seconds reset is an astonishing movement, the finish is superb.

[@petergplus6667]

The fact that ALs watches cost what they may be worth doesn''t necessarily mean they are underrated. Maybe other brands are just overrated as f..k. And people maybe should stop hyping and just go with their lives and be some honest beings. Regards from Saxony.

[@callmev.2397]

Some constructive criticism - I love your videos, but there is a minor annoyance I would like to point out - you repeat yourself a lot, how many times did you say that this is your personal watch or that you own this watch in the first two minutes? I hope you are not offended, I really like your videos, they are informative and the quality is possibly the best. I just wanted to to say this and hopefully enjoy your videos even more in the future.

[@aubsta1]

Congrats!

[@enriqueali]

ALS watches can't really be considered underrated, at least not among watch aficionados

[@ESW206]

I thought the 1815 chrono was known as the baby dato

[@watchcollectingstrategy]

Not really because the 1815 doesn't have a date

@@watchcollectingstrategy that’s really the only major difference though. They share the same movement.

[@DKBoerner]

Great review, thank you!

[@chinaman1]

The great thing about buying a lange watch is that there is no hype. I'll get this over any hot garbage over hyped watches.

[@stephenbaumhauer2593]

I have the zero reset function on my PAM 574, but it doesn't have any minute markers, thereby, making the feature, effectively, useless. Kinda hilarious. Still cool, though.

[@leyay7540]

I think its zero-rest isn't useless, because that's for accurate synchronization of the second. By the way, it also has minute markers every five minutes, which still can be used to achieve an accurate synchronization of the minute. My Credor is like your PAM574 and I don't have problem to adjust or read it accurately.

[@stephenbaumhauer2593]

@@leyay7540 I know what it's for. I just think it's funny that they would choose to add the function on a watch with no minute markers. I'm probably not gonna wait around until we hit a five minute marker every time i need to set the time. So, I don't. And, I don't really use the function, though, as i said, I still think it's cool.

A. Lange & Söhne, and others like Patek Philippe, F. P. Journe, etc, are for the 0.01% of the global uber-wealthy. Seems like this KZbin reviewer falls within that charmed privileged circle. Nice that he can get to enjoy the finer things in life. At least we lesser mortals can get to enjoy them vicariously through video presentations like these.
