How A. Lange & Söhne Became One of the Best in the Business | WatchBox Talks

[@humphrey]

I love Langepedia, thank you for sharing this on your socials sir

[@alpsever5279]

Many thanks!! Love you back haha

[@samsonnava5450]

My Lange Grand Langematik compared to my Patek Calarava is no comparison, the Lange is just breath taking to look at, finishings are just on another level, my grail watch and the zero reset just incredible

[@zhbroder]

Lange: the only watchmaker keeping Patek up at night...

[@starcode89]

Great discussion! I really enjoyed seeing Alp Sever, the man behind Langepedia. And up until this point I'd only read articles by Elizabeth Doerr, or interviews in print, but hearing her speak about watches is a revelation. She's got incredible institutional knowledge from her decades in the business. Kudos to all!

[@alpsever5279]

So very kind of you buddy! Agreed everything on Elizabeth, was a pleasure chatting with her after years of reading!

[@dfmanton]

Lange has to be most people’s grail watch.....the movements are second to none

[@dsvillalva]

Mike, I miss Marketwrap hearing if you’re back in Philly or in Connecticut and how horribly the Giants are doing.

[@alecc4006]

Really enjoyed this, my Lange is a few levels above my other watches.

[@camel_s]

Didn’t know Langepedia chap was Turkish! Kudos to you mate.

[@Roy-vh9rp]

And do not forget Glashutte Original, real history, even makes in house tools to make in house movements.

[@mikehoward9912]

Glashutte Original are very underrated and priced very low for all that you get. Great video

[@tbd1613]

100% correct. GO is under appreciated in todays market.

[@greggraus6365]

I can’t wait to see the new watches in a few weeks!

[@alpsever5279]

Likewise Gregg, rumor has it - it is exciting!

[@watchfan210]

Awesome discussion, well done!

[@dsvillalva]

I got my first Lange at an AD recently. Unfortunately the brand has succumbed to the same issue as all the other hype brands - lack of availability. I took a passing interest into the steel Odysseus, and as of now (early 2022) they're not available at ADs - they are boutique exclusives - and you can't even get on a reservation list unless you've purchased TWO prior Langes! I understand the business decision of first taking care of your existing customers, but it creates a barrier to entry for newer customers.

[@UserKR13]

You can get an Odysseus with just one purchase. Its only 2 if you buy simpler complications. What do you expect when they only make around 350 Odysseus watches per year

[@gelmibson883]

So cool he is back in Philly amd something with football.

[@Joebo31]

I really want a Lange but I kinda think the point that Lange is the watch everyone wants but never actually buys is very true

[@JA-oi4vj]

Speak for yourself. In my group of collector friends, at least everyone owns a Lange.

[@Joebo31]

@@JA-oi4vj I’m not saying no one buys them but feels like lots of people say they want a Lange then when they have the money they buy a Patek or a day date. They obviously have customers but there is also a reason they do not have the outrageous waitlists despite the constant hype on their quality.

[@alecc4006]

@@Joebo31 I’m glad that’s the case and hope it stays like that. I prefer it being the connoisseur choice, rather than for the man that chooses between a rolex day date or patek when he’s got some money

[@JA-oi4vj]

@@Joebo31 Maybe that was true a few years ago. Lange has been ¨found¨ by new collectors as well, during the pandemic which explains the rise in resale values of their rare and limited edition pieces. Lange has always been coveted by collectors, it produces 1/10th of the watches that Patek does. It's one of those brands, if you know u know. Lange aficionados are a different breed than the hype collectors.

[@My6216]

I could watch this stuff all day keep up the great work Mike . By the way i hear watch box is makeing a beef cake calendar with mike a all the boy in thier speedo s

[@tbd1613]

My wish for Lange: 1. Control production thereby increasing resale values on all lines 2. More publicity leading to an increase in resale value. 3. Never, ever produce "affordable" lower end watches for the masses. Stay exclusive and aspirational. Mike, miss your show on Saturdays. Please restart the show. It was very informative and useful. Thanks! Lange is the best watch maker period.

[@splootan]

Muhle Glashutte make phomomenal watches

[@loriosterweil982]

I totally agree that a woman’s watch is a watch that a woman owns!

[@ohannessemerjian4199]

What watch was the lady wearing?

[@McLaughter_]

Louis Erard x Silberstein, I think the monopusher or one of the others of the trilogy

[@ohannessemerjian4199]

@@McLaughter_ thank you Sir. I have seen few Louis Erard (on you tube or on Line) but not this one. Thanks again

[@TwentyOne_Five]

I keep wanting to spend $40k on a JLC, but the movement on my $12k Glashutte Original is always far better looking.

[@ryankelly8077]

If I had a $1 for every time the interviewer said “yes”, I’d be able to buy Lange’s entire catalogue in $1 bills… the guy needs to learn to shut up n let ppl speak
