  • Today we return to one of my favorite subjects when it comes to watches - the best that Germany has to offer. In this watch review of the Lange 1 Time Zone (Ref. 116.025), I explore one of the greatest brands to ever exist, and discuss its history to find out what makes them so well respected and desired. Could this possibly be my next grail watch? Why do I consider this a better alternative to the Patek Philippe World Time?
    Join me to find out the answers to these questions and more as I share my indulgences and conduct an in-depth investigation of yet another masterpiece of haute horology, and of watch enthusiasts‘ dreams.

    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!

    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!

    It is pronounced "Long-uh" not "Lang-ay".

    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.

    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.

    ALS is not Germany's best. It's simply the best.

    Whenever I start lusting over Rolex I watch a Lange video and the feeling goes away.

    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.

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

    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!

    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.
