Bargain and A. Lange & Söhne are words not usually found in the same sentence.

[@OtterSam]

I was about to say the same thing haha

[@rayleeaustralia]

AR B the thing is if the same watch have the letter PP on it, will probably cost twice as much?

[@sergezerkin]

Raymond Lee yeah but Patek you can always sell for more so Patek is the bargain . If we talk about money.

[@stevendudley9806]

Wow, I can't imagine handling a watch that expensive. I'd probably be a nervous wreck until I was done and it was back with the AD. It is spectacular, though. The Lange Datograph is one of my favorite watches at the holy trinity level, that and the VC Overseas.

[@ZATennisFan]

True but if I had the wherewithal I would buy one in a heartbeat.... The absolute pinnacle of watchmaking

[@GeordsYouTube]

When the view switched to the display case back, I had a religious experience. A true thing of beauty, I would expect even people who have no interest in watches would agree.

[@1517the_year]

Geord yeah it’s really up there, what a watch

[@stefanfreestylez]

In person they are unreal. Imo they do it the best. Pricey though... :^/ to comfortably afford one id say you need to be make 100k+/month. Def doable but lot of money for something so fragile too....

[@valicourt]

Geord yes. Looks like a brain.

[@DM-rc4yu]

It looks shit.

[@sobeit712]

I'm very interested in watches. I have to disagree. You are mistaken human ingenuity and workmanship as something divine and other worldly. But if you are talking about creating intricate creatures that serves no ultimate purpose, then yes, we might just had a glimpse into how God works.

[@walkerb1734]

Perfect watch! Now where did I leave that extra $300,000.....

[@spizzenergi2292]

$430,000

[@iamrichlol]

Even if you did manage to get one, imagine the servicing costs

[@LymanPhillips]

Jenni, your grasp of the technical details of watch complications and your ability to explain them clearly to a beginner is much appreciated. Plus, I love the way you say A. Lange & Sohne - so musical. Great video and a treat for Leap Day.

[@user-ti6rs1xq7v]

Lange❤❤❤

[@ConkreteMan]

The tourbillon on the back is such a cool stealth power move.

[@menaseven9093]

The A Lange & Sohne Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon is a beautiful and well-made watch. I like the fact that they put the tourbillon in the back of the watch. The tourbillon in the dial makes the watch look ugly.

[@speedygonzales9993]

A €300.000 BARGAIN watch. Way beyond my budget. Am happy w/ my affordable G-Shock. I swim w/ this G-Shock. But, have to say that this A Lange & Sohne looks awesome.

[@granjamo]

This is as close as I will ever get to this timepiece. Thank you! 🤩👍👏

[@faisalingalong]

Fab! One of the best videos I’ve seen in ages. Keep ‘em coming. 💪🏽

[@craig2100]

Beautifully done Jenni. Brilliant videography. I love this piece and all of its mesmerizing works. Looking forward to seeing additional great content.

[@dr.emilschaffhausen4683]

I could stare at the face and the movement for hours with a loupe. An incredible example of human ingenuity and art.

[@rousseau327]

Jonathan Saraco my girlfriend and I were at an AD and we ended up ring shopping as well, and the saleswoman put a ring on her and we asked how much it was: “$700,000” nearly had a heart attack

[@rhannay39]

I was sat down in an Omega boutique recently and fumbled a watch, didn't drop it, and my heart skipped a beat. The Omega manager told me that they once had a customer who dropped a watch onto a marble floor.

[@spencerfarrow2963]

rhannay39 funny story. My family and I popped into an AD near me that I’ve spent some money with.. maybe 10k. My son was running around and tripped and bumped his head. Well he started crying, and when he was younger tended to puke when he cried... and he projectile vomited all over their day-date and datejust case and surrounding carpet. They were kind and accommodating.

[@midas1929]

@@rhannay39 I joined a Swiss watch company when I was 24. One Friday afternoon, the big boss showed me a new model and I told him how much I liked it. He passed it to me and said "Wear it for this weekend!". I did, went clubbing with my friends in the worst parts of town, got totally wasted... the full monty. Monday I gave it back and he said, it's going on sale next week for $ 125'000. I would probably have worked some time for free, if I would have lost it. LOL

[@spdcrzy]

I heard a story of a guy who had a Rolex stolen from his locker at a country club - but not the ALS Datograph next to it which was worth ten times as much, because most people don't recognize the value of the ALS from the dial. So yes, as a value investment AND as an horological masterpiece, I would consider it a bargain.

[@MrVoayer]

Architecture of that movement is just simply stupendous ! The whole watch is a masterpiece to be studied, revered, admired and marveled at ! Great video !

[@yvelf]

Another flawless video from Jenni Elle. A truly hands on experience with each exceptional timepiece. Looking forward to her next vids. This channel will grow to be a top watch review channel. 👍🏻💪🏻

[@floridahummer]

A true piece of engineering and art brought together, if I win the lottery I would buy one without hesitation .

[@SWatchik]

That reflection in the subdial hands of the chronograph hand is immense! What an insane piece.

[@watchguy79]

I agree. I would give my left one for this watch.. Thanks for posting ! I love AL&S

[@claudiotinoue]

Just watched Tim Mosso's interview with Phillipe Dufour, his first collection watch was an ALS Datograph, not bad choice to start for a legendary watchmaker lol. And he also mentions Nomos!

This is an impressive piece of engineering only if you don't know anything.

[@DarthMalaks_Missing_Lower_Jaw]

What an amazing watch. ALS is definitely at the top of the watch mountain.

[@johnnyblank955]

Love your videos! Just have to let people know, the earth does not take 4 years and a day to travel around the sun. It takes one year and somewhere around a quarter of a day. After 4 years, we add these quarters of a day together into one extra day on the calendar. This is where we get out “leap year”.

[@juan-luissuarez859]

that is going on the dream list.. thanks Jenni!

[@wesammansour1486]

One of my favorite brands!!

[@thlee3]

great video. i love where the power reserve is

[@philchazwill]

Great video and a beautiful watch!

[@yellowwducky]

I have a 'normal' Lange One. If I could have any incremental dream watch it would be a Zeitwerk in white gold (or platinum) - this is nice but too busy for my liking. The ultimate would be the Zeitwerk minute repeater is we are talking 'double bargain' money. I also have a soft spot for the Lange One 'luminous'. Thanks for the great video Jenni.

[@atl3630]

It's art. Simple as that. Damn fine art.

[@carbideblue]

Not just a wealthy person's watch. A true watch lover's watch, to be sure.

Beautiful movement and dial! Call me nationalist, patriot or arrogant, but as a Swiss, only two foreign brands would touch my wrist: Lange & Söhne or a GS. The love to detail and precision on Langes is absolutely fantastic.

Lange is one of those ultra-luxury brands that have the magical power of making its wearer NOT look like just another rich douchebag.

[@ZATennisFan]

It's a brand that is not likely to increase your chances of getting mugged because they are so discrete that most street level criminals have never heard of them.. Not like a Rolex, Breitling Omega etc..

[@rockinginafreeworld3256]

I’ll wait until the Chinese make one. I’ll get it for a few hundred . Seriously , it is a outstanding watch. I have always loved this brand and I think this is the best yet.

Excellent review of a gorgeous piece

[@frankk8775]

Oh my, WOW!!!! That wrist art is just incredible! My jaw still hangs open with a slight drool running down the side of my mouth. The dial at a certain angle looks a tinge blue or my eyes have deceived me. I just spoke to my uncle (Lucifer) ;). he said if I sell ky soul ten times over he would consider granting me such an incredible piece of art!!! Seriously though, how nervous were you of handling this beauty? I am to retire next year (2021) at this time, I am so looking forward to treating myself to A. Lange & Sohne timepiece. The Saxonia line or the Odysseus. You have made my day! Thank You for such a Wonderful Treat!
