I am mind blown by the workmanship in the ALS, just as I love seeing John Mayer showing an ultra rare 1953 ref6204 Sub on Talking Watches. Both Brand have a huge importance in watchmaking in their own leagues. You won't find, with ALS, as much history as with Rolex. You won't find ALS finishing in Rolex movement. Just love both brand for what they are and stand for. However, you are allowed to hate Hublot, I'll give that.

[@nicktecky55]

Where to go? How about returning the split lap time to zero, with a third hand starting simultaneously? That would replicate the function of the "three stop watches" method that was always used on race tracks. One stopwatch is started at the start, and stopped at the end of the race. Two more watches are linked by a bar. Watch 2 is started simultaneously with watch 1. At the end of the first lap the bar is depressed, and watch 2 stops and watch 3 starts. The lap time is recorded from watch 2, and it is then reset normally. And so on.... The race time was also recorded per lap on the fly, as a back up. Or of course, you could download a $10 app... but that's not exactly the point is it?

[@greenygreen5308]

[@TheGiantBunnysaid]

There are plenty of superior luxury goods on the market in any market overshadowed by titans of their industries. They shine because the product quality is decent enough not to be questioned as they pour a lot of resources into marketing and other areas not directly correlated with development. They do so because the return in financial growth is far greater than any actual improvement to a product can bring. I would go even further and say that this applies to any industry and the country of origin being synonymous with certain perceptions in mind, something I would argue even this niche market of luxury spenders would have trouble with.

I'll admit a bit of envy. Being able to handle and examine one of these up close would be about the extent of my desire in regards to one. It's engineering art for art's sake. Of the few of these they actually sell, I'd imagine none get worn more than once or twice at most if that. It's a stealth complication that likewise probably gets used once or twice. Where do they go from here? Well there was a company that advertised a mechanical watch that would show sunrise and sunset times for any point on the planet. I suspect the prototype was the only one made and it probably didn't work well. I expect ALS could make one that actually worked.

Yes, there's a watch I'd like to see featured: the Omega Seamaster Professional Diver 300m Master chronograph, steel on steel with the simple, monochromatic black dial. First, because It's mine and I'd love to watch it through your expert eye and unbelievable footage. Second, because it's perhaps the exact opposite to the Triple Split but just as perfect in it's own rights. That Lange, by the way, is outstanding. Probably the best chronograph ever so far and Philippe Dufour might agree. It's only major flaw: I can't afford it. The SMP 300 Chrono 2019, on the other hand, I can and I do. And boy that a watch. If you bare the size, that thing simply is - dollar for dollar, feature for feature - the world's best luxury industrial mechanical sports watch. Major brand with unique history and pedigree, modern classic design, built like a tank, 300m water resistance, flawless finish, perfectly symmetrical bicompax display, ceramics all over, visible METAS certified caliber 9900, iconic and refined Bond nine links bracelet with micro adjustments by a hidden pusher in the clasp, all yours for CHF 7'400.- (rubber band, bottle of champagne and some Omega branded drawing material for my young daughters included if you ask gently). If the Lange was a Ferrari 250 GTO, the SMP 300 master chronograph would be a Porsche 911 Turbo and I'm sad it doesn't quite get the recognition it deserves, although it's a watch that some can actually own without having to sell a kidney and/or wait for ten years. The underwater equivalent to the Speed Pro.
