Hidden Gems | A. Lange & Sohne Odysseus | Crown & Caliber

[@SuperWhofan1]

OMG!!! That clip from The Room destroyed me!!! HA-HA! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@natebolka7456]

Have been obsessed with this watch since I first discovered it. Didn't even consider it a "hidden gem" cuz I assumed everyone saw the beauty in it that I did! So thrilled to see you cover it Mark!

[@brianwca]

Daaaang! Love the hot takes. Coming in very hot.

[@douglasladowski6342]

Mark excellent choice. It's a choice for the person who goes their own way. The rebel in the know.

[@danwilson7581]

Agreed. Especially that blue. If I could have only 1 watch.

[@michaelcote9156]

The look is on its return. Love this.

[@mitchmitchell9588]

Informative and insightful review. Great start to the new year. Keep it going!

[@iangibson6871]

Happy new year mark mate!! That is a serious watch!! And seriously stunning and amazing too!!!

[@saphirgrici2272]

Very informative, thank you for this piece of history and art!!

[@nkonig1]

Great video Mark. I’ve been loving this series.

[@russell996]

Lovely piece. 😍

[@huntera123]

Interesting. The history of watches is a big part of the culture and value.

[@lancehatch4475]

Like most Americans, I can't properly pronounce A. Lange & Söhne but Jenni Elle says it perfectly. I vote that we dub in her voice on every video where it's said. Great watch though. Interesting history.

[@PJM16]

GREAT video!! Really well done. Love these.

[@dsvillalva]

Nice to see Lange content. The watch community should re-think the Holy Trinity and add Lange to that list.

[@marsoelflaco5722]

Happy New Year to all!🥃✌🏽

[@MohammadAWaly]

Have you ever had a look at the new Omega Constellation 41mm? Especially the “silk” dial… I think that’s a very under appreciated piece

[@CrownandCaliber]

You have great taste, and stay tuned and you might see that one come up - Mark

[@LJRoss-zv8hw]

Waiting for a white gold version.

[@dialttante]

I think you should look into the Voutilainen x Leijona collaboration and specifically the Motiers Classic Limited Edition for a hidden gem. I recently managed to get one (there is a short video on my channel), and I'm still quite astonished by the level of finishing and generally the amount of value you are getting for a relatively low price...

[@liangweihao7932]

Love the series, but seriously? The Odysseus is so hot right now, it can hardly be called a hidden gem.

[@johnvsbear4247]

Seconded

[@rickfanning5647]

As always, I learned something. As always, I am now lusting after a watch. As always, I suspect this one may be a wee little bit above my budget. I will just head on over to C&C and take a look. Thanks for another great video!

[@michaelcote9156]

Ad 15,000 plus should be amazing.

[@LogicalNimbus]

JLC Ultra Thin Moon in steel. Amazing watch.

[@CrownandCaliber]

A good contender for the perfect modern dress watch -Mark

[@dannysimenauer5745]

Mark, I enjoy your videos, but I am not sure if you can call the Odysseus a hidden gem when it is sold out everywhere in the world. A. Lange has sold everyone it makes. Crown & Caliber doesn't even have one Odysseus in stock. Can I order one from C&C?

[@MohammadAWaly]

This watch is super hyped! Selling for what, triple retail? How is this a “hidden” gem?

[@CrownandCaliber]

I would argue it is not hyped, just very limited production that is causing the price jump, if you start naming hyped watches, even just steel sports watches, I doubt this makes your top 10. Ask someone to name Lange models and I bet the Lange 1, Zeitwork, Datograph, and Saxonia come up first. To me this is the watch everyone should be talking about and not the Nautilus or Royal Oak. Just one mans opinion -Mark

[@cts1549]

im sure youre limited to what is in stock but consider doing one on Weiss. I know youre a fan, Mark, and talk about a hidden gem.

[@CrownandCaliber]

That might be a fun one to do, and I am a big fan of Weiss watches - Mark

[@cts1549]

@@CrownandCaliber Cameron's history with the channel is just a plus too

[@joshn.5625]

Nice watch but hate the faux bracelet integration into the case. If I had one I’d throw it on a traditional straight strap.

[@ALSVCJK]

The new ones are welded on and cannot be removed anymore

[@joshn.5625]

@@ALSVCJK didn’t know that. Too bad!

[@secondtimearound4761]

Nothing “hidden” about the Odysseus. The secrets out and we all want one!

[@respectanimals2]

I love this maker , one day I’ll own one , maybe , we’ll probably not but I can dream , 😃, happy new year to all watch fans , peace ✌️ 😎🌴💀

[@CrownandCaliber]

We all need that grail watch to chase, and any Lange is a good choice -Mark

[@BenTramer]

wish they did a different complication than day date with the sports model...great video though

[@Roy-vh9rp]

Nice watch, but I prefer the Glashutte Original SeaQ Panorama date - which have a better date. And ... correct me if I am wrong, the "old" A. Lange & Sohne watchmaker became a part of Glashutte Original. The "new" A. Lange & Sohne was just an old family member with a good name, and the rights, to "restart" a watch brand.

[@CrownandCaliber]

SeaQ is a great watch, and the big date system that Glashutte Original has is flawless. The old Lange became part of the GUB, after the fall of the Berlin wall most of the GUB became Glashutte Original. Walter Lange, who worked at the original Lange factory before WW2 and would have inherited Lange restarted his family company. Much more than a random family member -Mark

[@YongJoonPaek]

??? The Odysseus a "hidden" gem ????? I'm sincerely very confused.

[@TheDerisavi]

It's dead accurate, It has scond time zone, It has chronograph function, It has timer function, It's minute repeater, It's titanium, It's cool and beautiful, It's luxury and finally it has history. For me the hidden gem is the Breitling Aerospace Evo!

[@CrownandCaliber]

We have a watchmaker that would agree with you -Mark

[@xtr1092]

i agree just take that horrid rubber band off it and put a propper leather strap on it

[@pilotboy7116]

Is it a great watch that deserved the air time you gave it? Of course! Is it a "hidden gem" - absolutely not as anyone who has enquired about buying one can attest. Think, given the time you spent on the history of the brand, you also should have mentioned Lange is now part of the Richemont group rather than suggesting the Odysseus is some beacon of independent watch making. Though overall, love your enthusiasm for the piece.

[@GhostRider-xo2hy]

Typical Adolph thinking. They can’t never be satisfied with being the second or third best watch company, it must be THE BEST watch company…😂. Yeah I just find out that “A.” stands for Adolph, I mean what a clever marketing

[@richardtan322]

Awesome video but don’t think this is a hidden gem.

[@marsoelflaco5722]

I wouldn't call this a hidden gem. People know this watch exists. It's more like the "unattainable gem", because of its price (for most) and waiting list (for the few who can afford).✌🏽

[@vdbdg]

Are you sure you’re on this planet? It’s “hidden” in the sense that there’s not a single steel for sale at a decent price. And the white gold is expensive right off the bat.

[@jamespalsson746]

Everyone thinks the bracelet looks terrible, and they're right

[@CrownandCaliber]

Thought the same thing until I saw it in person, if you ever get the chance it might change your mind -Mark

[@jamespalsson746]

@@CrownandCaliber To me the only problem is that the bracelet is too wide. I understand that ALS were going for a different look since it won't appear like another integrated steel sports. But maybe they would've benefitted with a more conservative lugs-to-bracelet integration. Cheers

[@kiatography22]

Haha, this is nowhere near "hidden" gem.

[@roberthiers5606]

It gets plenty of recognition. Try buying one from an A.D. Or do you want to pay twice the price or more on the grey market. The only detraction of the watch, was the bracelet on the blue face model. Hideous.
