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

My mind is officially blown. Now I know why they are one of the greatest watch makers in the world. Between them and Patek, I think they are at the cutting edge of both tradition and technology.

"Not everybody has every day a good day"

I've watched this more than once. Mr. de Haas "the Dutchman" could, and should do his own show. Fun to watch his enthusiasm and obvious knowledge.

Maybe I'm easily amused, but my mind was blown at that tiny section of dial that appears only when it's needed. They could've skipped that and saved a ton of work, time, parts, etc., but it's Lange, so there it is.

Own three Langes myself (Lange 1 Soiree, 1815 Chronograph and Datograph (1st gen in platinum), and to say that I'm a fanboy would be a huge understatement: I had the privilege of experiencing the factory tour myself, and what I saw there exceeded my wildest expectations: the passion and dedication of all Lange employees, and the extreme focus on detail is something I have never witnessed before with any other company in any industry. Thanks for posting this amazing video, big ups from Amsterdam !

I lost my sh*t when that little bit of the dial popped out of nowhere. Im gonna buy one as soon as I win the lottery

Breathtaking. Now I understand why a Lange watch can't be cheap. The watchmakers and artisans combine challenge and pleasure into the workspace. Without the pleasure of achieving these complicated tasks there could not be anybody to do this work every day. These people must be very proud to work here and produce these time pieces. I loved this video. Thanks.

The skill and patience that goes into making these pieces of art is absolutely out standing, once you see the attention and detail that goes into the watch, you can appreciate the price tag.

The passion Anthony shows for ALS confirms that when you've achieved greatness in your work you deserve at least one ALS watch. If you are determined to succeed in your field with as much enthusiasm, commitment and precision you will one day own one of these exquisite timepieces.

15:44 really cool to see that the Lange watchmaker is himself wearing a Nomos Tangente

7:20 "This is the finish department. Not because there are Finnish people, eh? Heh heh. But it's the _finishing_ department." Apparently this Dutchman has picked up the classic German sense of humor.

I loved the way he explained that he’d said a joke, While in the “Finnish” department. Very German humour there. 👍

Lange & Sohne is the Ultimate watch for the real collectionists. You are a collezionista & specialist, and a special person to want one and wear one, and buy one. Because you know something more than the rest of the world. Its not the brand, its the exclusive club you enter into. its not Ferrari, not Bugatti, not Lamborghini, its more Aston Martin but its much much more...you are now a real exclusive club in your own right. On your own.

15:45 NOMOS watch in the Lange workshop. The Lange representative is seriously passionate about his craft. He behaves like a true passionate engineer. Makes me respect the brand even more.

Wow, this was a true pleasure to watch.

The best thing about this video is the excitement of the people involved about those incredible pieces of wearable art Lange creates. So elegant!

Amazing video. Thank you. The Richard Lange “Pour le Mérite” is incredible. At 23:50 That’s the first time I have seen the moving quarter dial on this watch and didn’t even know it moved. In all pics it is present. I love this watch even more now. Grail of grails.

This was an amazing episode. I gained a ton of respect for this company with how down to earth the people from the company are.

I love it when a company knows exactly where it stands and how it is perceived.

My god, these beautiful timepieces have to be the absolute worlds best, thanks for the tour

7:33 "also practical joke I am using" the most german thing I've ever heard

Absolutely stunning brand and as a German of course my grail company so to speak. Very interesting report about A. Lange & Söhne. Love to see that the watchmaker at 15:40 wears a Nomos watch from the rivals just around the corner :D (Even though they're in a completely different price range) Thanks Marc for bringing this to us!

Absolutely Stunning..... More longer videos please.... What a Horological Treat.....

Excellent show! Each of their watches is so damn beautiful! Really makes you appreciate their attention to detail/precision and beauty even more when you get to see all of the fine craftsman creating their art on camera, very very cool. I also love how a visitor can take of his watch and they know which one in the shop engraved it. That’s really neat. Once again, great show.

Utterly amazing how focused these watchmakers are for hours on end.

This is the 12 time I have seen this video in over a year. Such a passion and gives me lots of motivation on the watchmaking world. Thank you for this episoide really! Much love!

I think I could spend a year just walking around the manufacture, asking questions and watching these people master their skills...

Man, I loved this episode! Anthony is very passionate and knowledgeable it seems. Erg gaaf! A. Lange & Sohne was al op mijn lijst maar nu helemaal :)

This video popped up on my 'suggested list'. Didn't understand one pixel of the technical explanations that were being given so lovingly and expertly. Yet, was totally mesmerised by the conversation... it was riveting... so much so that I watched the whole video... and have a completely new appreciation for the phenomenal skills of their watchmakers, engravers and all others to make what are actually works of art that also function as a watch... Perhaps the BEST watch video I've seen on KZfaq... Thank you SO MUCH...

These folks are the Special Forces of Watchmaking. Wonderful to see.

What I love about this guy is, that he doesn't go with all the stupid marketing language. He is open to say things like "This is is not quite as intelligent as the other one" or "We looked and couldn't find a way, so we did it this way". Honesty is way more attractive than a fake demonstration of Tim Cook.

That is a beautiful peace of art, I would never be able to wear one I'd just sit and look at it going, just beautiful.

Love Anthony Dehass! The way he explains the watches are priceless!

I could listen to these watch experts talk for hours about the craft. Great stuff. Anthony has such a calming and engaging voice.

I had to watch the Video again! I am so amazed! Bill told me to learn watchmaking because the skill would steady my nerves and make me a better surgeon! I love these timepieces! I Love the Datograph Perpetual Chronograph!! I think the most beautiful timepiece in the World!

Very fascinating watchmaking craftsmen and woman. Im in heaven! Thanks for the allowing us to see inside the workshops.

This was amazing! The passion in the Production Manager's eyes when he talks shows he is the man for the job. So cool...

I so admire people who are really into their jobs. In another life, I would love a chance to be a craftsman who can work at this level.

c'est juste splendide, la classique tourbillon reste une pièce d'exception, j'adore et je rêve d'en avoir une, bravo pour le reportage, la passion transpire de l'image.. grande maison d'horlogerie Lange & Söhne

Love these detailed and slower videos, especially when combined with the beautiful shots of the movements and watches. Props to MAD and team.

What a wonderful video, it is so exceptional to see this factory and get such detailed and fun explanations. Congratulations, this is top quality watch reporting. This video just sums up why we love watches and why they are such fascinating objects...Ce format de vidéo long est rare, mais tellement appréciable, surtout ne coupez rien au montage, ça aurait été dommage !

Best watch video I've seen. As a machinist, I find this topic highly satisfying. I get the sense that these watches in particular are extraordinarily innovative and well designed.

These watches are perfection, beautiful beautiful amazing watches. I could look at them all day. They are only few people who truly appreciate them. This company blows all the others out of the water. I only wish I could afford one of these masterpieces.

The attention to detail is mind-bending! You really see where the money goes...

I like their calm, slightly referencing the Hapsburg Empire days of yore esthetic. It’s congruous with a mechanical watch.

Thank you, Marc... After 4 years, I am enjoying this wonderful watch adventure video again! Superb, as always!

The already strong nerdism that I have , just went into the next level. Thank you for sharing and well done. I own some Swiss timepieces but will never afford a Lange... I know this and im okay with it. But I appreciate the true horology these folks produce and are passionate about.

The watch-maker/assembly proffessional was wearing a Nomos (minute 15:40 in the video!) What great publicity, and almost a ''poinçon'' for Nomos which deserves all the credit in the world for what they do...

Just stunning craftsmanship! I want one! *does google search and goes to website* holy moly.....let me see....would I rather have this watch or the house I live in? Yeah, I know. a lady spent 10 hours finishing 1 little piece among hundreds. I will never own this watch, but I have the right mechanical knowledge to appreciate it.

A thing of beauty is a joy forever. What a beautiful thing L&S is. Great video, thanks.

I'm absolutely stunned by the beauty of these watches!!! I#m in love, I hate all the digital ones or the modern designs, but these are an absolute beauty, especially the more classic/old looking ones.

I imagine it took a lot of time and effort to implement every creative idea into their time pieces during the R&D phase. They are truly the pinnacle of human innovation and intellect expressed in an "old tech."

Just out of curiosity: do people in the comments like Anthony de Haas the Dutch product manager's style? I like how he's doesn't seem to take himself so serious as you often see in this business. As a Dutch person it's funny to see him head up such an important German watch company's production.

This was amazing! More of this please!

Wow, simply amazing dedication of all of the men and women who make and designed them

One of my favorite watch companies based strictly on what I have seen in videos.

Great video. The best I’ve seen on Lange so far. Professionally produced and captivating. Mr De Haas was great at explaining the intricacies of haute horlogerie and I could stare at those movements all day long - stunning watches!

My first time watching your videos! Thoroughly enjoyed ! And Subscribed! I enjoyed the tour. LOVED THE ENGINEERING, CRAFTSMANSHIP, ARTISTRY, AND ATTENTION TO DETAILS. BEAUTIFUL!!! I observed a Watchmaker build a movement from the ground up when I was in High School. Bill Halvorsen was an engineer and explained everything as he was making parts and assembly. I’m still in awe of what I learned from him! He was so patient. I love the beautiful time pieces seen today. Thank You all so much! I would Love to have Several of their pieces. Lots of awesome design, Engineering, and implementation of all the Complications! Again, Thanks so much! Yes, I’m a “Watch Addict!!”

Now I want a Lange watch. The attention to detail on such a small scale is astounding!

how are there any downvotes? Wow so impressive the germans have a style all their own and such technical skill, i love it.

Great video! The Germans are brilliant making/ manufacturing exotic cars, watches & writing instruments! 👏👏👏👏👏

Very modest and pleasant guy, explained in a way that was simplifying but at the same time didnt make you feel unintelligent!!! Wonderful person :)

Fantastic video !! blown away with the perfection to detail. The hidden part of the dial that appears when required.

This video made my day. Thank you so much, guys. Keep up the awesome work :)

I love A. Lange & Söhne, my grail watch is the Zeitwerk, they make timeless watches. More of this, Thank you and please :D

Beautiful explanations using his hands. A natural teacher. Thank you so much. There is actually someone on this planet (many it seems) that enjoy this esoteric little field as much as i do. And ‘enjoy’ is the key word, not to be confused with ‘afford’ -which will never be possible.

i love that man's cheery aura and passion, truly class and an amazing individual

Thanks for this feature. I do hope I can own one masterpiece from A. Lange & Söhne someday.

Magnifique vidéo! Comme toujours, votre chaîne reste, encore et toujours, la meilleure en terme de qualité journalistique, vous ne vous contentez clairement pas simplement de lire les communiqués de presse! La qualité de leurs montres dépassent largement les préjugés (infondé) que le Suisse que je suis pouvait avoir. Mon étonnement encore plus grand se situe dans le fait qu'ALS a réussi a transcender l'aspect purement ingénierique pour créer une véritable identité esthétique allemande propre à la marque. Je sens, personnellement, qu'ils ont pris une avance non négligeable sur leurs collègues suisses en ce qui concerne le rapport "qualité mécanique/finissions/prix" de leurs montres, où la compétition Helvète se repose sur une valeur ajoutée? Trêve de commérage, merci encore pour cet aperçu des ateliers allemands!

This is a piece of art. I would not be able to afford even the cheapest one. I love analogue clocks. ❤️

Isn’t this a lovely video. Things like this make me like watches so much at a time when everyone’s cell phone has the date and time right there

Easily the best watchmaker company in the world. AP, PP or VC has got nothing on A.Lange & Sohne. They make beautiful and most complicated timepieces yet very understated which is why they stand out as the best along with PP.

Very informative....I learnt that Lange watchmakers prefer Nomos. LOL.

Masterfully made, and beautifully made. The intricacy of the work is one to behold up there in the highest realms of human artwork

Thank you thewatches.tv team and Marc for producing this spectacularly informative video. Much appreciated!! Your team makes the whole community a much better place!!

Another superb insight Marc. And how wonderful to have such a nice guy as Anthony sharing the beautiful workmanship, passion and dedication shown by A Lange & Sohne. Simply stunning and unique timepieces. I would so like to do a tour of their factory. Thanks so much for putting this together really appreciate it.

Absolutely fantastic video! Thanks very much. What a gorgeous brand A. Lange & Sohne is!

When the watchmaker put that axel in the centre of the movement and you can see the precision of fitting. Never actually seen A Lange & Sohne in person. One of my bucket lists to do. Great job Mr M.A.D

I would have been disappointed had this video been edited down. I think it could even have been longer and I would still have watched the entire thing.

Amazing! N1 watch brand in mean time. Just a dream for a real watch lover. Thanks

Very smart man. He knows everything about every single watches.

What a great insight to such a fantastic company committed to the craft of high quality products. No matter how many videos I watch, I am completely fascinated with such high quality craftsmanship. I would love to visit and see some of this work for myself. This video was very enjoyable, thank you!

What a nice and passionate guy Mr De Haas is! Very refreshing hearing him explain things.

This was great. In-depth content. Beautiful watch making. Thank you 🙏

Love ALS. Another fantastic video. The long content is terrific....really enables you to provide more depth and breadth. Would like to see more of these longer reports.

I’m very thankful to you that you posted this video (a lange is my dream watch maker) but I’m sad this video is so short 😔

We can just copy a program from internet and make a digital clock which has perpetual calendar and what not, but it is the matchless craftsmanship and passion for invaluable time pieces which keep balancing the world from all thing digital. I admire and also envy people who work with their hand for feeling.

Such an informative film, very well shot and presented. The passion for watch making shone through with the enthusiasm of both the presenter and director of such a great watch making family. Very nice the best I have seen on this format... well done sir .

The best A. Lange & Söhne video on KZfaq:) Chapeau!

Fantastic, Marc. You always show more interesting information than any other watch channel. Excellent work!

The 1815 Tourbillon Handwerkskunst 730.048 is my favourite watch. I love what the brand stands for.

When i look at Lange, especially after this video, i see passion and soul in their watch making. Then i look at the swiss counterpart, i see them milking the consumers.

Very impressive manufacture, beautiful artwork.

Totally happy to watch a long format video when it is regarding perfection, like here. This was so interesting. 7 hours to finish a part which can only be seen through the exhibition case back is mind blowing.

Amazing! Absolutely magic and it's just so inspiring listening to Anthony de Haas. What wonderful personality. I'm in awe. Thank you!

Amazing video, showcasing how insanely complicated the creation of these timepieces is. For future videos I would love to see way more super macro footage.

its is amazing what they do and how they do it.

Fantastic video and very informative. Anthony de haas is very easy to listen and he makes it enjoyable to learn about these gorgeous watches!

I find myself watching the tour again and thoroughly enjoying the video! Thank You so Much for Your Attention to details! I’m in awe of the engineering of these Fine German Timepieces! I would love to have the Triple Split Chronograph Model! A. Lange & Sohne is one of my dream Watches.
