We know you want more watches…. click here: linktr.ee/watchfinder

I would love the A. Lange & Sohne but my bank account prefers a Seiko.

I can't keep watching these videos, my wife is getting concerned that I keep wanting to sell one of our kids. "Stop watching those videos, you're looking at the kids strangely again". My answer - "I only want to sell one, we have three kids, stop being so selfish".

Lange is the one and only watch brand that keeps Patek up at night. Reality

That A. Lange & Söhne is the most beautiful watch I've ever seen, if I had a heap of money to burn I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

The video all watch enthusiasts have been waiting for. The battle of the giants. What a start to 2019!

A. Lange & Söhne would be my choice. The single font, extra space, look of the hands against the darker dial, stunning movement decoration all make this an easy choice for me. That's not to say that the Patek Phillippe isn't impressive ... it absolutely is ... I just find the datagraph to be much more impressive.

A Lange and Sohne is the clear winner.

Has to be the A.Lange for me, this very watch is my grail so I was extremely excited to see this clash. The Patek is lovely though, the dial is beautiful, as is the movement, but the A.Lange is exquisite in every detail. The tones of the dial, the different textures, the boldness of the date. Everything is perfection for me. Maybe one day :)

I didn’t think you could get any better at making videos but the transition at 7:25 was exemplary

Rolex vs Omega: I sleep Patek vs Lange: R E A L S H I T ?

Before watching this video, I would have told you that this Patek is the ultimate. After watching this video, I would have buyer’s remorse if I bought the Patek. The Lange is stunning. Great video.

Throw MVMT into the discussion and you've got a real clash of the titans

Me to my bank account manager: "I'd like to borrow £200,000 please." Account manager: "Of course, is it to purchase an apartment?" Me: "No, it's to buy a couple of watches."

I prefer the A. Lange & Söhne's clean design TBH. Also, I'm a sucker for German Engineering.

I get the impression you could put the ALS watch under an electron microscope and it would still look exquisite. You can guess which one gets my vote.

You could me either and I’d be quite happy! However, although they’re both incredible, I’d have to say Lange gets my vote.

Beautiful video. I'm with A Lange & Söhne!

The mismatched fonts/sizes on the Patek Phillipe is such a turn off. A. Lange & Söhne all the way. I hope to own one, one day. Even a thin Saxonia would make me happy!

The Lange is an extraordinary timepiece. I genuinely don't think PP can compete.

I was introduced to the amazing watch world due to the covid lockdown.. 2 months ago I had no clue about any of these brands.. But after binge watching watch videos on youtube and reading about the brands and their offerings and design.. ALS is my fav, the designs are just too perfect.. I know I'll never ever be able to afford any of these but if I ever hit a jackpot, I would want to die wearing an ALS watch

The A. Lange & Sohne is the choice for me, for the simple reasons you laid out midway through the video: It has a cleaner, neater look than the Patek (which is still a great watch in it's own right). The lower power reserve of the Datograph does not bother me too much since this is a manual wind watch anyway. Just all the more reason to connect to such a beautiful piece and admire that movement with all it's complexity!

A.Lange & Sohne would definitely be my choice. Everything done with purpose and extreme attention to detail. The gearing is a visual masterpiece by itself!

A Lange all day for me, impressive how the design somehow remains minimal despite there being so many functions. Remarkable watch, faultless even.

The main issue with A. Lange watches lies in their servicing. I purchased a Saxonia (105.025) in the late 90s and had it serviced twice by a professional who wasn't authorized, as there were few authorized dealers in my area at that time, 20 years ago. When the Lange boutique opened near my town a few years ago, I decided to have the watch serviced there. After a 2-month wait, I received a quote for 4000 Euro because they stated that since the watch had been serviced by a third party, they needed to replace the parts, and the regular repair fee did not apply. I own watches from AP, Rolex, Patek, and Piaget, some of which have been in my family for over 50 years. When brought in for service, none of them have cost more than 2000 Euro to service or repair. While I'm willing to pay more for quality watches, charging 4000 Euro to repair a perfectly functional timepiece (which was purchased for 12,000 Euro) is unreasonable. It feels like an attempt to extract excessive money from customers through after-sales service. I've also heard similar horror stories from others who were charged 5000 Euro to service a Lange 1. Frankly, I hope A. Lange will reconsider their service policy. Meanwhile, I'll avoid their services and caution others against getting trapped in a similar situation to mine.

If there is a KZfaq award for cinematography, this channel should win. Its so subtle yet so thorough and sometimes even brilliant, every single video and it sometimes leaves me in awe. Applause for that.

The Lange blows away the Patek. Knockout in the 3rd round! The dial just looks cleaner and more coherent, and the stacking of those subdials is super impressive.

I'd get the Lange, its dial is just on a whole other level

Both are incredible, but for me Lange's dial takes it to a whole other level.

I actually find the A,L&S to be the “busier” dial, but I prefer it.

I honestly didn't know who A. Lange & Söhne was before watching your channel, but this Datograph Perpetual is one of the most beautifully complicated watches I've ever seen. The Patek, outrageously out of my price range, is amazing but does not pull my attention like the ALS.

Well done, informative video. Liked and Subscribed! Always wanted to see the two Titans together.

I love them Both! Yes I’m a “Watch Addict” and thoroughly enjoyed your review of these Wonderful Timepieces! It would be a hard choice to choose just one. I think, I would Choose the A Lange & Sohne..... Both are Beautiful Timepieces!! After Reading Comments of the way Patek Treated Customers the choice would be A Lange & Sohne!!

This Video is incredible. Superb watches and Superb storytelling. Thanks a million Watchfinder & Co. I really enjoy the contrast in the grey dial of the A. Lange & Söhne Datograph Perpetual. Not only cause I am an engineering student from Germany, I just like the approach, to pretend a clear face for the customer, but putting in such a variety of complications and functions. Patek Philippe is the peak of Watchmakers Olymp in my opinion, but in this face to face duel, the A. Lange & Söhne Datograph Perpetual takes the win. Best of luck for 2019, keep up the great infotainment and quality. It is highly appreciated.

Without a doubt....A. Lange..!!!

Your videos are so amazing and they're also very beautifully filmed!I'd be interested in what camera and especially lenses you guys use!

Both watches are very comparable in every aspect except for one... Lange's display case back is on another level!

A. Lange & Söhne Fan...!!

A.Lange Datograph Perpetual with the grey dial is my unicorn!

A.Lange for me all day every day. Oh to dream to have such an exquisite piece in my collection

after binge watching all the WF videos, arguably this is the best video from watchfinder & Co...beautiful watches....

What a START for 2019...!!

Bankers vs engineers, cheese vs sausage... Let the stereotype war begin.

You're really making me second guess that my dream watch is the Patek. I've never looked at an A. Lange & Söhne so close. It's stunning.

I don't know what it is, but the lange&Söhne has something to it, which is simply magnificent.

I love the A. Lange and Sohne movement, it’s beautiful. I’d definitely go for the A. Lange and Sohne. But I wouldn’t turn down either as a gift.

ALS for me, I love the industrial look of the watch. The design prioritizes functionality. Oh and ALS never miss a chance of showing off their movement.

What an amazing KZfaq channel! Thank you for the cool videos!

The rational efficiency in design of the A. Lange & Sohne definitely wins for me. I believe that they're the greatest luxury-grade watchmakers that the world has ever seen.

Lange all day long. My favourite though is the double split flyback 👌🏻

Absolutely stunning video! Cheers, I choose the A. Lange & Philippe!

Another great video from Watchfinder & Co!!

Between these two I'd have to go Lange, the functionality of that pusher to change everything in synch is so much better than those little dimple ones you need a tool for, and the decoration on the movement is second to none. Now I just have to find a bank to rob to pay for one...

when you compare the movements aesthetically, the lange just has something about it thats just beautiful

Watched this so many times. Absolute dream watches

Looks like overwhelming support for the ALS! Both are truly fine masterpieces, and your narrative and videos are amazing as well!!

The CEO's of both brands watch such a video and have to let out a slight chuckle. Neither is worried about the other. Patek & Lange could not be more different as brands. Each executes their goals higher than perhaps any other watchmakers. Patek's history, level of precision and value retention needs no explanation. Lange's approach to crafting beautiful movements and engineering innovation really needs no introduction either. One has perfected swiss watchmaking tradition, the other has put german watchmaking in the coveted holy trinity discussion. Both brands will continue to refine and perfect their approach to making the finest timepieces the world has to offer, all while not sweating the other. If anything, the two brands probably serve as inspiration to one another in certain areas of their watchmaking, but I firmly believe that Patek Philippe will always remain the watchmaker that all others are chasing in terms of collectible value, resale value, prestige and watchmaking prowess.

The Lange face has so much more depth. it's complex and clean, all at once. Exquisite.

To me the A. Lange & Söhne nails the practicality and has flair with that mesmerizing case back. Outstandingly well articulated comparison of such complex watches

Your work absolutely deserves to be rendered in 4K. HDR would be nice addition, if possible.

I was recently looking at images of Lange's movements. Some are just gorgeous. Incredible decorations on bridges, black polishing.

I'd take the A. Lange I think

Very nice! Wish I had 1 of either..

Love this channel

Amazing. Absolutely amazing.

My next watch is the Lange for sure. I love the detail, finish and I have all Swiss watches in my collection, German manufacturing would be a great addition.

Great video as always! Personally I would take the A Lange. Just the looks, colour scheme and that skeleton are amazing!

2 excellent pieces

Beautifully shot video with great content. As for the win? A Lange & Sohne, by a hair’s breadth.

Before watching this I'd have gone for the Patek Philippe. Ive seen some advertising for it in luxury magazines. But now I'd go for the German A. Lange & Sohne. I'd never even herd of A. Lange & Sohne until now. This was very cool and informative even though I can't afford either one. Thank you.

Lange & Sohne is FLAWLESS

Just getting into watches and watchmaking. Love the attention to detail in both, but I would probably pick the Patek if I somehow lived in a universe where $100,000+ would be able to be spent for a watch. Much easier, I think, to spot information at a quick glance despite the A. Lange having a big date. Love the gothic lettering on the AL&S, though, and both are incredible watches. Thanks for the well-made videos and all the close ups!

I actually got emotional when I saw the Lange in Bucherer's window the other day. I think I've found my exact and definite exit watch.

Vacheron Constantin and Audemars Pigeut look cheap in comparison with these beasts. I honestly like the A.Lange & Söhne a lot more.

Patek Philippe makes a much nicer looking watch when it comes to traditional watch faces. Comparing a Datograph to a 5270, 5204 or even the 5170 there is simply no contest, at least for me. The grand complications from Patek are so much cleaner looking, they are more refined, their lines flow perfectly like the silhouette of a 1960's Jaguar E-Type. The Lange, while still a decently handsome watch, just looks off to me... like comparing a classic Countach LP400 to a Jalpa. Something about those Lange hands just doesn't lend itself very well to the rest of the face and the whole thing is a bit too bulky. The display-back movement of the is Lange definitely on par with the Patek, but the face is really what makes or breaks a watch. I much prefer the off-centered, uniquely German Lange's like the Zeitwerk and Lange 1. Those are watches I would love to own because they are beautiful, uniquely Lange and they are not trying to be something else. Whenever another brand tries to create an 'affordable alternative' to another watch, it never ends up right imho... even if it is Lange making it. Not saying you should drop 300k on a super-complicated Patek, but if that is something that you really want I'm not sure a 70k Lange will truly scratch that itch.

Love your Clash of the Titans video, could you do one with F.P. Journe?

Dude, the writing in this is just amazing. So great.

The best of the best in the watch world...... A.Lange & Sohne for me. What a great side by side comparison.

Exterior design wise, AL&S clearly put more detail to things that are quickly noticeable. The “Two floor” dial, date window frame, brand name on top of 12 position looks nice, it has lume which I believe this should be mandatory to every watch. On the other hand, to me the PP movement more beautiful. You can see more action going on which is part of the joy when you know you have a machine with lots of components working together to tell you the time. Every watch like this should also have mandatory glass case back.

I really don't know why but the grey they use on the A. Lange is so appealing to me. Honestly the best looking watch I can think of....now to find a sub 3000 watch of similar looks with a grey dial.

Thank you.

These videos make me fall even harder for A. Lange and Sohne

I love German watches. While I’m closer to the the Nomos price point, and have one, I have loved Lange from the moment I saw a Lange One in a magazine. In the 15 or so years since I became interested in mechanical watches, nothing ever hit me as hard. I was recently in Las Vegas and had a chance to try on a Patek Gololo (and a Blancpain Fifty-Fathoms) at Watches of Switzerland. It was stunning...it just had that “I’m a $40,000 wristwatch. I was ecstatic walking out of the store and my friends indulged me. Walking happily along, I saw the entrance for an A. Lange & Sohne boutique and it literally stopped me in my tracks. In the decade plus years I’ve admired ALS watches, not only had I never seen a retail store selling them, I had never actually seen one anywhere outside of watch media. The boutique was part of a larger jewelry store in the Venetian, with the brands given a boutique space and a dedicated entrance. Setting aside the logistical history of this story for now, I spoke with the brand representative who had a great German accent. I told him I wasn’t quite at the $50.000 budget level yet and asked if I could see and try on the Lange One Time Zone with the whitish silver dial with a white gold case. It was simply amazing in person...beautiful. It is my go-to lottery win watch...there’s always hope.

2 astonishing pieces. but love A.Lange more.. thank you great demo.

I go with A. Lange & Söhne the timepiece has highlighted simplicity, elegant, complex very well in a way that they have thought of the consumer & the attention to detail is off the charts

A lange und Söhne 😍😍 thats what i called The Most coolest watch Brand in my opinion 😍😍

It’s the ALS for me, it’s just stunning!

i was thinking of such a comparison and this pops up great work watch finder and co........so surprised after a short while how A. Lange & Söhne has caught up on patek in a short span .....with great machinery and good complications on the German watch.....

I went for the Datograph Perpetual Calendar after watching this video. Loving it !

Awesome watches!!!

Even though my heart lies in Switzerland, I'm gonna go German this time. That right there, is pure class. Sorry Patek :/

Länge is much more intuitive to me and nicer. I would buy the Lange every time. The date and time are available instantly, which is of importance to me. The month and day are nicely displayed in an efficient, non-intrusive manner. The Patek, displays time, day and month instantly, but for me the date should come first, not the day and month!! For this reason, the Lange makes more sense and the cleaner dial is more asthetically pleasing to me.

These makers are the pinnacle of the art. I think only their aesthetic separates them. The Lange speaks to me in a way the Patek does not. It doesn’t diminish either one, it’s just how I respond to their individual aesthetic. Okay, so now I’m a Philosopher.

2nd time I've seen this amazing review, 1st time to comment. As I slowly began to discover and appreciate the beauty, quality and sheer work experience put into the watches I, at first, thought Omega and Rolex in a horological place all of their own. When I began to see and come to greatly admire the Glaushutte Original Senator Excellence PDM, I actually felt guilty for turning to a German made timepiece. It is not a crime to appreciate (long-for) a non-Swiss watch like this A, L&S over the PP, and I comfort myself with that. That, and also I owe less on my house than either masterpiece.

My next watch will either be a Patek or a Lange perpetual, so I'm currently making this decision. Currently, I'm leaning towards the German, but it varies. Decision time is end of January.

Fantastic video, absolutely fantastic quality. AL&S for me please

I prefer the Datograph Perpetual in this case. Its just cleaner and easier to read. The indices are sharp and crisp. The dial shows you the information in an organized manner, at the same time looking refined and engineered

The epitome of watchmaking right here!

It'd be a nice dilemma to have, choosing one. I'll have to stick with Omega and Rolex. But that isn't such a rough place to start out. My budding watch enthusiasm is largely down to this channel. Thank you for the consistently great content.

Great video. I love the Lange‘s. I have several and prefer them to every other brand
