I think you nailed it in this title - this really is the REAL DEAL. I’d love to add an ALS to the collection one day. So tempted by a Saxonia, but the Little Lange 1… 😭 just speaks to me!

Evan, it's so hard to find a comparison to my 1.6e-17 light year wrist. Thank you so much for providing this useful information!

[@YoureTerrific]

I’m here to help.

[@Khanh.Nguyen369]

Yes. Thank you for this review. Considering the hype for blue dial watches, this thing should be a $100k watch.

[@keenankomoto44]

I really love how real you and your videos are. By that I mean, you aren't constantly idealizing the unaffordable/unobtainable that in-turn morph into a hype watch. The watches you feature are much more interesting and unique and your videos are top-notch!

[@YoureTerrific]

Thanks so much.

[@AntoineThisdale]

That thing is SPECTACULAR in real life.

[@shahnhughes4558]

I'm a bit late to the conversation, but this watch is amazing!. I was fortunate enough to try this beautiful work of art on. It's almost impossible to take picture that truly captures the beauty of the dial. Any movement of the wrist reveals more stars. It's mesmerizing !

[@ChristopherWrighttoff955]

I photographed an A. LANGE & SÖHNE - Lange 1 for a client last week. First one I have handled, despite not being my style, I loved it. Great vid, glad you said yes.

I passed on this with a 15% discount. I regret that decision. Its a killer watch. The dials are insane in person.

[@Stanjara]

This fits so well on your casual outfit. Absolutely amazing watch. Love the design an the dial! I wear Citizen like that, no date no second hand, 36. Love it!

[@YoureTerrific]

Which Citizen?

[@Stanjara]

​@@YoureTerrific Oh its very old, from my late father. Closest now is Citizen Stiletto. Mine is dark gray and inside is recessed so that hands and outer ring (indices) are the same height. Nice 3d effect in the light. I just love these dress type watches and I'm looking at a really nice, 35mm Omega hand wound from 60ise. That will be my next purchase, but im little on the edge cause its vintage. Its not online so I will visit a watchmaker. Great content bro, music and camera are top notch! P.S. That PloProf.... boiiiiiiii

[@woodtvnetwork]

I don't know what it is but many times when I look at a watch online a few days later you post a video about it. This watch is absolutely stunning and I plan on buying one when I sell my car when I move to a city that doesn't require one here soon. I love your content!

[@FMK178]

Congretulations, very nice video. For me after a lot of watches in my collection the Saxonia is the essence of the wonderful art of watchmaking. I love both, my blue-copper one and my white-dial one, the nicest white I ever saw in a watch with white-colored dial.

[@michaelissac3337]

Cant believe you did this watch! And in this configuration, major props.

[@matthewmccord99]

You really do a great job with this channel. Thanks.

Too kind. Thank you.

[@atthelord]

So glad you did a video on a Lange! My favourite 3 in their lineup are The Saxonia Outsize date moon-phase, the Zeitwerk minute repeater and the Datograph! Yes, I would take any of these over a Patek, Vacheron or AP. For anyone watching, just walk into their boutiques- they’re super friendly and love showing their prices and talking about watches.. I truly enjoyed myself visiting them even though i told them I can’t afford them..

I watch most watch videos at 1.5 to 2.0x speed. Why? People take too long to say nothing. But these? These I watch at 1.0 speed to savor their awesomeness. Delicious, musical awesomeness.

[@YoureTerrific]

[@jewelsbylovest.maarten5971]

Fun Fact about the German Silver: The German Silver goes as far back as early 18th Century & was developed in Germany by the Metal workers in imitation of the Chinese alloys to be used as substitute for silver since silver is highly expensive.

A.Lange is very 'elegant business men'

[@amaurydfr7481]

That's the best video I've seen about this watch. I'm starting to think that this is my grail watch. Such a high end elegant piece.

[@pierremartin9048]

I will eventually get one, but I just got a Dornblüth Marine small seconds for 1/3 the price, similar movement. Love the Saxonia but not a dandruff fan. But damn that 1815, wow. Like many prefer bit sportier watches. Look at the Dornblüth movement, layout is nearly the same. Great overview.

[@SawyerSpainhoward]

Evan, your videos are rad! You and others have inspired me to start my own channel

It may be hard to believe, but no one has asked me if I'd like to borrow one yet. But I'm willing! Even though it's a "dress watch, i love it with your outfit.

[@YoureTerrific]

Dear Internet, please loan Michael a Lange. Love, Evan

[@jollyrob]

Enjoyed your take on this stunning dress watch. Would've liked to have seen it on the beautiful and dressy original strap which looked more the part imo - grey suede is something Hush Puppies come in.

[@ProfessorPesca]

I respect anyone who has the self-confidence and maturity to wear a two-handed watch. I’d be so worried about getting bored with it.

[@ph8077]

It looks like a standard cheap dress watch to anyone else viewing it. This look is very common...if you're paying for a Lange, it should be obvious to anyone else that it's a top-quality watch from one of the world's finest watchmakers. The white gold doesn't help at all, giving the impression of budget steel. At least yellow gold or rose gold would elevate it somewhat - although it would still probably resemble a dress Tissot or Longines with this design. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The open case-back is the best part as is so often the case with Lange but with this timepiece, it's orders of magnitude above the trite & simplistic dial.

[@centrallyintelligentagency]

It’s disappointing they don’t do their own cases/have entirely German ones (SUG is their only German case supplier). But they’re pretty impressive watches anyway-I’ve handled a Lange 1 Timezone and a Saxonia. They’re pretty! Great videography as usual.

[@abdrhmn7093]

You're too funny man.. you single handedly counter the dryness and snobbyness of the watch community haha

[@escottmitchell]

One of the greats. And a grey suede strap is always the right answer.

[@Johnny3514]

I really like your watch reviews. Because of you, I bought a sbgm221 a couple of months ago and just love it! Thanks! ALS is a brand that I have so much respect and admiration of, so when you put this grey strap on the Lange I actually got a little sad. The strap looks sooo cheap and out of place on the watch and even if I think the original strap looks too glossy, there must be other options for this wonderful piece! Slightly disrespectful to the Saxonia in my humble opinion. Just saying. No offense…:) Keep up the great job and thanks again for the GS…

[@petequintanilla4237]

I never thought about measuring my wrist size in light years using exponential notation. Heck I needed my HS math book just to look up that term.

Another great video. I got to try on the black version of this watch and loved it. Too bad I can't afford it, or maybe that's a good thing.

[@maverickbonato8164]

Starry skies kinda dials are always right up my ally. When it's made by Lange well. Wow. If I could get a watch with this dial, in steel with a random Seagull movement for around $1000 I very much would LoL

[@wingeren]

I've always had a bit of a fever dream in which I wear a white dial, pink gold Saxonia Thin on a fine silicone strap (though that suede was pretty sweet too) to accompany my sweatshirt and joggers as I walk down the block to the local café on a cloudy autumn day. Is that kinda awesome, or do I need to get out more? 🤔

@@jollyrob But why would anyone do that? Lange is just a totally different Level of quality

[@wingeren]

Because they'll get more "Likes" on YT and IG with the Rolex, duh.

[@jollyrob]

@@Hans-Georg_Buddne I agree - Lange is way above Rolex in terms of craftsmanship, finishing and overall quality but many people clearly put brand cache, their style preferences etc above that. I get it that's sometimes hard to understand but it's nevertheless true. My grail watch would be the Odysseus but many say it's hideous.

[@UltraDoug]

Gotta love the deep dives, pulling out a Coffee Talk reference. Anyway, fricken Lange. The brand I love to hate to love. Lust and disgust all at once. The Lange' brand is what first got me into watches. I remember an old KZbin vid interviewing Kevin Rose (tech nerd and 1st gen  Watch enthusiast) who happens to be rich and talked about his Lange. That's where the truly endless rabbit hole began for me. This Lange here is gorgeous, but of course so cost prohibitive for most that it's nothing more than an 'entry level' art piece in a museum with an unobtainable cover charge. - kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2nKo4yweMiZfqs

Lovely review as usual. Lange are clearly top notch quality. For me though. I like an accurate mechanical watch, as well as beautiful styling. I read recently that despite all the qudos and cost. Some ALS watches are, and despite the lovingly crafted in house movements. Pretty unimpressive accuracy wise ...? Maybe that's why they forgo the seconds hand then hey..... ;-) I have a Coaxial 8900 movement in my beater Omega that is 1 second fast in 8 months. No kidding! Regulated simply by altering it's crown up or down resting position. For all that money here.... Be nice to see a similar level of timing precision to go with all the other great aspects we know they have... Just my 10 pence worth?
