@@BabyJesus66 "Rolex is trash" This just proves how ignorant you are regarding watches. Rolex didn't get to where they are by making trash. 50 years ago, Rolex made great watches, I was there, and I remember as I owned one. The simple fact is their watches today are much better made.
PP or Relox look like cereal box prizes when laying next to even basic Lange. Relox got where it got through 100 years long consistent, effective marketing campaign.
Every time I see that Credor I get all crazy inside. If you look up the word "sublime" in the dictionary, you'll see a picture of the Ichi II next to it. Simply stunning!
Hello and, as usual, thanks for your vid. This one has been especially interesting. Not just because you chose 3 A. Lang & Shone, but also because I discovered a watch maker I hadn't heard of before, Johannes Kallinich. Thank you for this great discovery.
YES!!! I knew the Johannes Kallinich Meisterwerk watch gonna be the last one. It was a amazing watch from such a young watch maker too. Simply brilliant.
Great video! I love the A. Lange & Söhne 1815 Tourbillon and the Credor. The Lange for that dial, OMG, WANT it looks so cool. And the Credor for it's simplicity and perfect execution.
The Dornbluth & Sohne caliber q2010 with the hand engraved dial. It featured in another WF video. Amazing. A 9 people company making these watches in the sleepy town of Kalbe in former East Germany.
Stunning selection, thought my favourite is the one from Breguet by far!! Also extra special and definitely worth mentioning is the "zenith Christophe Colomb" to my opinion
I love CW. Good picks!! I want the C1 Moonphase and I just got the C65 Aquitaine in Green last week. Amazing watch at any price, let alone such a bargain.
My favorite as a watch enthusiast and an Industrial Designer it of course the "one off" Johannes Kallinich timepiece. A true grail as with only one, it's impossible to acquire. However, don't lose hope as my personal favorite A. Lange & Sohne watch is the 18K rose gold, 40.5mm "Richard Lange" ref. 232.032. Compare the two watches, they are almost identical. At $40.4K retail, the Richard Lange is pricey BUT not when you look at the secondary market where they routinely trade for $25-$30K. Sounds like a great subject for your next video as you are employed by a pre-owned luxury watch dealer. 🤔
The Triple Split is a thing of beauty and a grail watch of mine. The 500+ pieces in its complication gives me a mechanical buzz whenever I look at its case back.
Great choices! At the moment my favourite is the Christopher Ward Bel Canto. The H. Moser Apple Watch is one I’d love to own partly because of the conversations it would start but it’s way out of my budget.
Personal opinion I guess the grand seiko fits exactly what you’re saying . Someone who has far more expensive watch than the gs ,still I always end up wearing the gs.
I was wondering if you would include the Credor Eichi ll. You did not disappoint. It's the most beautiful watch on this list, perhaps, the most beautiful watch in the world.
What a fabulous selection. A lot of A.Lange could tempt me as well. However, that would mean selling the car or even the house. Minor detail... 🤣At some stage I will hopefully have the means to at least buy a Ressence. When I saw those I was immediately sold on this unique way of telling time.
My triple black single stone 1983 Swatch watch holds a very special place with me as it was the first proper watch that I bought with my pocket money at the ripe old age of 11 . It was my watch bought and paid for with my own money. And I wore it untill i started work . I still have it and it still works . The one watch I will never get rid off. To me it's irreplaceable and priceless. And even today with my ever growing collection of watches,no matter the watch ,right there in pride of place in it's watch box is my triple black Swatch .even my Cartier,Rolex,Patek, Breitling,and many others can't lay claim to the top spot. Some will laugh it's a plastic Swatch but to me it was the first of many and I had bought it with my money.
I hadn't heard of Credor, but that is WILD. Maybe I'm not the only one, because I see some good used ones for way less than Grand Seiko! They're going on my list.
Credor is a japan only jewelry brand, hence not many models trickle out and they are heavily discounted when they do. Seiko has not done the greatest job with it. There is some overlap with Grand Seiko (notably the Eichii).
Loved every single timepiece featured, and love the humour too! However, I am also disappointed that a few watches were left off, specifically: - Christopher Ward Bel Canto - Grand Seiko Kodo Constant Force Tourbillon I'm certain you were spellbinded by both, so I am sad neither were mentioned, but otherwise, agree with your selection of your unforgettable horological pieces!
I like watches with a story behind them an example would be the Breguet, A Rattrapante Minute Repeater that belonged to Winston Churchill. Or the Rolex 3525 (the P.o.W). Or even my own pocket watch which belonged to my great uncle who was a Hansard reporter in the 1930's and 40's. I could go on, but you get the idea.
For me, the 'nicest' watch I have is a Rolex Sea Dweller ref 126603. A watch to 'own the room'. The other one, on a completely different standard, is the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Compresor Geographic, which I also own.
Watchfinder. I think it laughable when you say: "You know how any watch maker worth its salt these days has a silicon hairspring?" Well I beg to differ. How about: Kari Voutilainen, Greubel Forsey, Philippe Dufour, Armin Strom, Bovet, H. Moser, F.P. Journe, Parmigiani Fleurier, Grönefeld, Thomas Prescher, Roger W. Smith etc, etc, etc. I could go on, none of these makers use craftless bunk like silicon in their timepieces and never will. If you want a silicon watch get a smart phone. Artisanal watchmaking is the domain of wondrous engineering, dedicated human beings and traditional materials laboured over in the creation of beautiful mechanical lifeforms. I never want to see a repeat of the Quartz Crisis and if you think about it, probably nor do you. By the way, there is a great deal of craftsmanship in the creation of hairsprings made with transition metals. Lose the ability to manufacture from these materials and it's an art at risk of loss forever.
In my list, I will replace H Moser Swiss Alps watch with H Moser Perpetual calendar. Then include FP Journe Resonance , FP Journe centigraphe souverain and Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Quadriptyque.
He has responded to this exact comment in videos before. They still do reviews. They just aren’t being recommended in your feed because the algorithm only wants you to watch Rolex videos.
yes, Fine watches are ( looking at you Glashutte Original) but the average , common man's watch ( Fossil, Shinola) and a whole host of others, simply are not!
If a Christopher Ward isn't on the list I'll stop vicariously collecting watches through this and other watch channels, since I would have clearly failed at my basic knowledge of Mr Talking Hands favorites
Tbf, given the number of class watches Andrew gets to see, a watch that sounds like it’s been made by Chris next door really shouldn’t be on the list 😂

No Patek, no Rolex, but two Langes?! Andrew Morgan, you rock! 🤘
Three Langes.

The best voiceover for any video, for any topic, only Carl Sagan talking about space and galactic systems comes close.

It’s been an amazing journey my friend - thank you for walking us through your favorite pieces on this look back 🤗
Hello and, as usual, thanks for your vid. This one has been especially interesting. Not just because you chose 3 A. Lang & Shone, but also because I discovered a watch maker I hadn't heard of before, Johannes Kallinich. Thank you for this great discovery.
Great Alex Honnold reference, that guy is a living legend.
YES!!! I knew the Johannes Kallinich Meisterwerk watch gonna be the last one. It was a amazing watch from such a young watch maker too. Simply brilliant.
Great video! I love the A. Lange & Söhne 1815 Tourbillon and the Credor. The Lange for that dial, OMG, WANT it looks so cool. And the Credor for it's simplicity and perfect execution.
This is one of my favorite videos of yours ever!
And your writing gets better by the day.
Thank you!
The Dornbluth & Sohne caliber q2010 with the hand engraved dial. It featured in another WF video. Amazing. A 9 people company making these watches in the sleepy town of Kalbe in former East Germany.
The first A.Lange was my favourite in that beautiful gold tone is stunning
I knew the Credor would be here. All the watches here are hugely impressive, but like you, the Credor is the one I'd have.
Me too!
Stunning selection, thought my favourite is the one from Breguet by far!!
Also extra special and definitely worth mentioning is the "zenith Christophe Colomb" to my opinion
OMG that Credor looks amazing. All of these are soooo above what I could ever touch that I would go with the CWard Bel Canto and C1 Moonphase
I love CW. Good picks!! I want the C1 Moonphase and I just got the C65 Aquitaine in Green last week. Amazing watch at any price, let alone such a bargain.
The pricing of CWard is pretty great. I really like the C65 as well, congrats on that. Such a fun watch brand.
As a dress watch kind of guy the Moser Swiss Alp has always been a favourite. Sports wise it's the Lange Odyesseus.
Totally agree with everything said about the breguet. Hold it in my hands in NY boutique.
It’s an absolute stunning piece.
Wow what a great episode! Really enjoyed it! This list is just perfect! Man what a work of art!
agree with you on all the Lange selections. simply spectacular! works of art! grail watches!
Got nostalgic with good old talking hands video! Thank you, Andrew!
that credor is my pick out of these
love the lange representation! they are my fav company by far.

Andrew great video as ever!!
For me vacheron 1921 holds some special power over me!!
Really like that Credor . It's spiritual calming to look at 😮
You are absolutely right. Mine always calms me down.
Personal opinion I guess the grand seiko fits exactly what you’re saying .
Someone who has far more expensive watch than the gs ,still I always end up wearing the gs.
@@zeeshanzia6364 I own few GS too but I have to say Eichi II does better in this aspect.
There is no watch can beat A. Lange & Söhne in detail. This watch is unbelievable perfect.
Reddit says the quality is low. Truth ?
I don’t think so.
It’s German engineering. 🙂
The Piaget video is THE wathfinder video that made me fall in love with watches. I really mis these watch reviews!!!!!
Great selection would pick any one of them if I had the money
Favorite Lange &Söhne and Credor
I was wondering if you would include the Credor Eichi ll. You did not disappoint. It's the most beautiful watch on this list, perhaps, the most beautiful watch in the world.
Great video. That triple split is amazing. So glad you didn't go down the clickbait route of sticking a random Rolex in there!
you know its going to be a good time when you upload
Wonderfullly intelligent and interesting choices! Every watch was incredible in it's own way.
This was a great video. My kid used to say ‘because’, ‘just because’, when he was younger and got in trouble. I made him watch this.
Credor Eichi II always be my Final watch to buy if I ever want to stop collecting watches :)

Some truly amazing timepieces. Would love to see your favourites under say 15k, 35k and 50k for example.
Safe to say you love Lange! Glad thats the case.
Beautiful collection. Thanks for sharing
Laughed so much in this video. Thanks W&co!
I love the finish of Lange, but prefer the understated simplicity of Credor.
I hadn't heard of Credor, but that is WILD. Maybe I'm not the only one, because I see some good used ones for way less than Grand Seiko! They're going on my list.

@@rashakorCredor focuses on Japanese aesthetics and philosophy. I wouldn't say there's overlap with GS just because of the price range.
Fantastic showcase 🙌🏾
This was brilliant. Very enjoyable thank you
That Credor is my ultimate grail 😍😍😍
The Seiko Credor Eichi 2 has definitely grail watch potential..
That creedor is so smooth
A. Lange's watches are dream.
Great state of the collection video.
Loved every single timepiece featured, and love the humour too!
However, I am also disappointed that a few watches were left off, specifically:
- Christopher Ward Bel Canto
- Grand Seiko Kodo Constant Force Tourbillon
I'm certain you were spellbinded by both, so I am sad neither were mentioned, but otherwise, agree with your selection of your unforgettable horological pieces!
Craftsmanship + scarceness + cost = a hobby we all enjoy marveling at.
The Breguet was incredible.
I still can’t get over my speedmaster !! Watches way more expensive than this one somehow still awe me
Digging big holes at the beach was one of my favourite things to do when I was a kid.
Would have been nice to see the Zenith El Primero 21 with the 1/100th second hand.
2:34 great reference Honnald is the 🧗♂️
You have one banger of an intro song
the best watch,... Casio the one with the calculator, oh yeah with rubber strap ofc, that smells after a while
yay old style videos are back
The Piaget is at the top of my wish list, followed closely by the Freak.
I like watches with a story behind them an example would be the Breguet, A Rattrapante Minute Repeater that belonged to Winston Churchill. Or the Rolex 3525 (the P.o.W). Or even my own pocket watch which belonged to my great uncle who was a Hansard reporter in the 1930's and 40's. I could go on, but you get the idea.
It's pronounced 'Koonst', so granny's heart is safe ;) Another great vid guys - well done!
For me, the 'nicest' watch I have is a Rolex Sea Dweller ref 126603. A watch to 'own the room'. The other one, on a completely different standard, is the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Compresor Geographic, which I also own.
Great choices. Thanks.
May I suggest the JLC Reverso Grande Complication à Triptyque, the most complicated watch from the watchmakers' watchmaker.
A thumbs up before I watch the video!
Romain Jerome Chronograph Titanic DNA and the Daniels Anniversary are the two most beautiful _things_ ever made by man.
I chuckled when I saw the H. Moser Swiss Alp, and then looked down at my Apple Watch.
I like the Credor very much ❤
Beautiful watches
Hard to look past Breguet Double Tourbillon in this selection for the simple fact of it's mechanical design and output.
Pimp my watch edition. Dawg, best reference yet… 😂
Subliminal Andrew at 8:52 if you can spot it !
dang no bel canto even though you got your own customized one?
I'll be damned if I could find fault with any one of the list Andrew. Every single segment solicited a little gasp.

@@misterpsych3804 Limited Edition Shanola is good stuff. I was able to get a few pieces at retail.
The Il Tempo Gigante by Von Doren. A fantasy brought to life by an inspiring story. A watch built out of fiction rather than history.
Masterpiece ever. Great
8:52 Andrew will try to jumpscare you for a split second
