Why A. Lange & Sohne Is Germany's Best: Lange 1 Time Zone Watch Review

[@eazye619]

Everytime you post a video I begin procrastinating all my work for my classes lol. Then end up going on a watching spree of your vids

[@theurbangentry]

I love it. Thank you Eazy, at least if your classes are on watches or horology you will ace it! ;-) Good luck with your studies my friend. Best regards, TGV

[@heikowallauer]

Good evening TGV, greetings from Germany 😁 Thank you for giving us Germany some horological acknowledgement. As you might know, I'm a Sinn-guy, but a A.Lange & Söhne would be a thing! Have a great evening! Best regards!

[@klausm5460]

Unbelievably how the selection of the time zones works. It's basically like a mechanical computer that allows changing the mode to interfere with the running program. When thinking of German design though, I'm more inclined to think of rather straightforward examples like Nomos and Junghans. But that's just taste after all.

[@clegsmegson2627]

Almost fell asleep reading this.

[@Godl1ked]

Lange watches are very unique, really glad they're still "kickin". Great vid TGV, thanks !

[@Silver-st2zq]

Love the quality and attention to detail from Lange and sparks memories of seeing and loving the look of pocket watchers even if dive watchers are my go to watchers.

[@jackprick9797]

I had to watch the video several times to be able to take it all in. What a fantastic piece! Thanks for the excellent video TGV.

[@RevLev06]

A gorgeously crafted video to match this incomparable watch - truly amazing at all levels.

[@ref6122]

That Lange marine chronometer at 2.08 is one of the most gorgeous timepieces I’ve ever seen !

[@StuntpilootStef]

If you want to know why the dial is so legible while having so many complications, look up how the design came about. The dial has the golden ratio all over it. The design is very special, this is not a random layout in any way.

[@SkysaxonDragonslayer]

Great to see that you like German watches... A.Lange is for sure the top notch of watch making, but it plays in a class which most of us could never afford... If you want to experience German watch making with a very innovative brand with great history which dates back to 1900, than you might have a look at the sadly forgotten brand Bifora from Schwäbisch Gmünd. The had the 1st German lever escapement wrist watch movement in 1928 - the first German automatic movement in 1951 - the first German Ladies automatic movement in 1960 ... everything completely in-house except for the springs!!! Watches of this brand which was at one point the biggest watch manufacturer in Germany can be found for less then 100,-€ and could still be serviced at the factory in Schwäbisch Gmünd.

[@caosdeterministico]

Beautiful review of a beautiful watch. Thank you TGV!

[@getoffmylawn8986]

Langes are simply crazy beautiful! Unlikely to ever be in my budget, but a man can dream.

[@motaman8074]

Man, I just like to listen to you speak. Not only informative, witty, and interesting, but extremely relaxing. Thanks

[@555Gear]

Love seeing Lange on the channel! My favorite haut brand.

[@francescocorti2341]

This watch is amazing.... really appreciated. Definitely, one of my grail watches. I've seen its retail price...unbelievable....a lots of money..... anyway congratulations for your purchase!

[@chucklepadory]

Found my first grail watch brand I think... this has been an an awesome channel to get me into watches and probably the only one I will need :)

[@antesamarzija]

after all these years, I still enjoy watching your videos...=)

[@theurbangentry]

Ante!!!!!!!! This just made my day. Wonderful to hear from you my friend, sending a big hug from Philly. Thank you, Best regards, TGV

[@antesamarzija]

You’re welcome ! Anytime my friend you are near Stuttgart Germany - let me know - I’ll show you around :)

[@luigisavoia2401]

The movement is decorated so beautifully I'd be inclined to wear this watch upside down and just pull a pocket watch out of my pocket when I need to know the time..

[@scottsj4625]

Beautiful watch. Amazing watch with all of its complications. It is way above my pay grade but we can dream, right? I would think the Quality is up there with AP and PP

[@styx4947]

That Heinlein "egg watch" looks amazing. Not to stroke your ego too much, but I really think your channel is the only,(that ive seen) that can be truly called an horology channel. No where else can you see that Heinlein medieval marvel, and put in context, not a 5 min "great watch" or "terrible watch" then call it a review. Keep it coming TGV

[@watchbrocephus]

It is a heck of a watch. Lange sent me their catalogue, which is gorgeous too. Best Regards Stuart

[@WatchAddictions]

Such a gorgeous watch! Huge fan of their pieces!

[@russellc7322]

Absolutely stunning piece ... grail watch right there! If I ever achieve it, game over - I'm out 😉

[@jc944t]

Another greeting from Germany and again you were the one to teach this American ex-pat so much about German Horology, thanks again! I'm still looking for that one watch from the Saxony region. This one ticks a few boxes but I agree, need a 38-40mm. Well done!

[@JeffreyThreat77]

That watch is Ab-So-Lute-Lee GORGEOUS!! Thanks so much for the historical context and review!

[@brucethomas5257]

You are one cool dude appreciate your videos they’re very educational as far as watches and styling class are considered please don’t stop keep them going

[@Unohdetutkasvot]

Great Episode again, this makes me shiver even more when I walk by at the A. Lange & Söhne Flagship store here in my town of Dresden at the Neumarkt!

[@Nomad_783]

what a masterpiece. I wish I could afford one of this in the future.

[@goldtoothjacko]

T, Absolutely stunning and fascinating video. Excellent work my friend. Hope you are well. Hope to catch up soon. Best as always. Matthew

[@OG10]

I Love ALS can’t wait to get one, one day.. the definition on the text on the dial are stunning

[@wingi7722]

Absolutely beautiful! Maybe just ever so slightly out of my price range just at the moment (I DO have the wrist but not the dollars), but it's nice to dream and to appreciate the beauty and pure genius of haute horology :)

[@giacomomargutti215]

TGV, on your screen I immediately recognised the very cool little red train (the Raetische Bahn) going through the Swiss Alps in between St.Moritz and Italy's Lombardia (Tirano, Bormio), passing by the Alpe Grum. You should definitely try it once. Ah, nice watch btw.

[@greekforce1698]

Beautiful piece and a great review!

[@robertfeast7691]

Nice to see you bought a German watch. ALS are imho at the top of the tree and exceed PP in terms of quality and design. Even at the lower price points, German watches exceed the Swiss in quality. Nomos, Stowa, Sinn etc all offer better movements, some in house or higher grade ETA than in the Swiss equivalent brands at those price points. Despite the hype, Sellita movements offered in many Swiss brands are not as good as well made as ETA despite being the same or very similar design. You mention the ALS is German Silver. This is just Nickel Silver and contains no Silver at all.

[@mtkoslowski]

Lovely timepiece. Good review.

[@kjeldpedersen666]

Hi TGV Truly fantastic. All discussions about modern versus classic stops here, there’s no point. Such a technological marvel contained in an all time classic style. Not to mention the materials and the craftsmanship of it... Unfortunately it would be a bit too big for me also. In terms of size as well as economy😆 Nice vid, keep up the good work👍

[@Sebastian85]

A wonderful review TGV, nice to see some places of my hometown ;) E . Lange & Söhne is a great watch manufacturer. I had the luck to see their production as I was working for Moritz Grossmann some years ago. It is absolutely stunning. And not to forget their new Odysseus, the first waterresisant Lange! I hope to see you some day visiting Glashütte :) Greetings, Sebastian

[@TartanJack]

Supremely practical and useful. As you'd expect from a German maker. But also quite detailed and almost exquisite. It is beautiful. But it is big. And it is German.

[@vaibhavm1007]

What an absolute stunner of a watch! A grail, if I too had the wrist for it - though I feel that with the dual clocks for the time zones, legibility might be an issue

[@IAT1964]

Question on the dual time. Can the watch handle half hour settings? For example some time zones are at half past the hour from GMT.

[@luislucero6920]

What a great video, everything in the set including the presenter's style harmonizes at its heart with the soul and mind of this beautiful german watch ... I will buy it immediately !!!

[@the1916company]

Hi Luis - All of TGV's luxury watches from his videos can be found at WatchBox: www.thewatchbox.com/watches/a--lange-sohne/

[@carlosbornes]

I saw that watch on Harrods and it's insanely beautiful the problem is the price

[@kev7355]

Great review. A big fan of your channel. 1 small comment. When you are talking while holding the watch in close shots, perhaps you could hold the watch steady as you are making a point. You might not be aware of it because you are trying to emphasize on a point, but it's quite nauseating. You can see it at around 5:16 and 11:00 I guess I'm nitpicking on an otherwise amazing channel. Keep up the good work.

[@tytorres8961]

Love the vids! Excited to get my first watch

[@frankieeisenberg6506]

Smashing video! If it isn’t too much trouble, could you tell me how large the face of your TGV signet ring is? I’m trying to get my own and just trying to figure out the size.

[@sparshrastogi2646]

this brand represents so much class. ALS is up there with HH such as AP, PP, VC.

[@theurbangentry]

Well said sir! Thank you sir, Best regards, TGV

[@John_Longbow]

i agree sir.

[@goldcrownkingmod]

So much class like my PP. a true master of whoreology. All jokes aside I think this is a beautiful watch.

[@sparshrastogi2646]

@Acesuprol 2107 haute horology!

[@balesjo]

These timepieces are works of art. If there was one luxury watch I'd love to own, it would be the A. Lange & Sohne '1815' in white gold. Elegantly understated compared to many other models. plus the 38.5mm diameter that would look good on my small wrists.

[@johndobbins8051]

Nice watch, but I want to know more about the Katana on shelf in background. Have you done a video on it?

[@goaztecs7549]

Thanks for such an informative video!

[@amarsh212]

TGV, Unrelated, I have saved up and am planning on buying the Lorier Gemini in blue when it drops at the end of the month. Your thoughts? I want to get into the watch game. My first was a Seiko 5 with a ColaReb strap which was recommended by you a while back. Let me know what you think. -A

[@FrankEdavidson]

Are there other (less dear) brands of watches that have different tens and units complications for larger date display?

[@viperkil13]

Beautiful watch, I prefer this to the the patek grand complication as it seems to look more subtle whilst still very functional. Great video as always TGV. Regards.

[@xJan008x]

More people need to know about the almost inhuman quality and attention to detail Lange applies. They put basically every other watchmaker to their place!

[@TheMrFishnDucks]

Very nice watch. Keep up the good work.

[@jbbrabant]

Wonderful video very informative and interesting. Thank You😊

[@billymania11]

At a cocktail party a gentleman impresses with his Rolex and is the cock of the walk. That is until another gentleman rolls in with this timepiece. I mean look at this watch. One of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.

[@johnprice909]

I've had the pleasure of handling ALS watches in Aspen on a few trips there. They are indeed beautifully made watches and their specialness really comes through when you have one in your hands. Another German marque you should look at is Glashutte Original. Ciao, John

[@theurbangentry]

ALS in Aspen, sounds like heaven!!! Thank you John, as always, I like your style. Best regards, TGV

[@autohardy8518]

What a watch! Look foward to your future reviews, thank you 👍

[@styx4947]

Also, a lot of people dont necessarily think of Germany when they talk about Swiss Made. But Switzerland is sort of the "melting pot" between France, Italy and Germany. So of course there is a lot of German descent in Swiss watches. I love that history and I think a lot of people don't know those details, and that when they buy a Swiss watch, they are buying a bit of Geman DNA in there. It really is a beautiful thing to see. And the heritage just puts it in the stratosphere.

[@danielosoriosolarte9967]

TGV please review the new Bulova Breton with salmon dial. It is very expesive for a Bulova, but it is georgeus. Can you find out if it worth the 1000 dollars?

[@stevefox8605]

Truly stunning! Enjoyable video, even tho ill never afford one. Looking to buy my first luxury watch, a Tudor North Flag - not in the same league, but my grail. Cheers 👍🏻

Love this video TGV, but then I always do lol, Lange are so beautiful, but do you know what does it for me every time.....the date window! There is something about their date windows that i find mesmerising. I doubt I will ever own one, but defo on my grail list!

[@ewestre1]

...I see other countries have adopted Norway’s concept of “slow TV” in the back there. Hours and hours of TV where you watch a full 5-day cruise of the Norwegian coast and fjords literally “minute-by-minute” in real time. Or a 7-hour train journey. Or knitting sweaters, or singing all the songs in the book of psalms, or hiking over mountains for days....in real time! Sounds boring...is boring......but mesmerizingly hypnotic and satisfying! A lot like staring at the inner workings of our watches :-)

[@jayebirdjb7143]

The lense coating was a huge mistake, it distorts the true color of the dial. Regardless it’s a very handsome work of art.

I'm bouncing back n forth between this lange in yellow gold or a daydate 40. I love the lange 1 tho

[@miroslavrnjakovic8850]

A watch of such excellence, shouldn't be over 36, maybe 38mm. I just think a 42mm watch can't be ellegant.

Hi TGV, what's the train footage you had running in the background?

[@theurbangentry]

You have great taste sir! Thank you, Best regards, TGV

[@michaeldgs]

Awesome work! And wow - what a watch! the diameter and lug width makes me think it wears like a Navitimer... How would you compare the way it wears, with lets say your old A23322?

[@theurbangentry]

So funny you say that, I edit out a whole long ramble about precisely that! I wears exactly like a A23322 now you mention it, but unlike the Navtitimer (that is supposed to be oversized) this is more for the larger wrist IMO. Great minds obviously Michael ;-) Thank you Micheal, excellent comment. Best regards, TGV

[@michaeldgs]

@@theurbangentry Great stuff :-D Would have loved to see that ramble... haha, but I think I understand why you think the design of the Lange requires a slightly larger wrist than the Navi. Honestly Tristano - I have followed your channel for like 3-4 years, and we have very similar taste, why I have had many of the same mid to high-end pieces as you but with slight variations... In general, you have been a great inspiration in my watch collection journey, and thanks for all your educational work towards the watch community.
