My least favorite style of watches, it’s just dress watches with THAT amount of “restraint” is too subtle for my senses. But Vacheron dial is something special. I would chose Vacheron out of them 3. Patek second, and zi germans take third.
Agreed that dial is just stunning and that's my favourite rose engine design to boot but the lange beats the patek for me personally. I'm not really drawn to minimal design dress watches I'm more breguet classique engraved dials and blued hands 👌
The dial of the Vacheron Constantin is so-out-of-this-universe! Probably the deepest optical zoom watchfinder ever applied to a detail. And it´s still perfect!
I come to a channel for an interesting videoabout watches, I finish that video, I enjoy it, and in the end I go. But then I come to watchfinder and I find: a crystal clear storytelling, a calming tone of voice, simple but wonderful shots that really emphasize the focus on the watch, and here and there some pieces of horological history... Well, in the end, I stay.
No need to say “most finest”. Just “finest”. Thought I’d just give that free English lesson despite it potentially making me look like a dick. No need to thank me.
If I was parting with my money for these gorgeous watches it would be 1. ALS there’s just something so desirable it can’t be explained. 2. VC, that dial, of that dial 3. PP it’s gorgeous but the other two just have more character to me.
This review came in good time. I was deciding between the Lange, PP and VC last month. After much research and seeing them in person, I went with this particular VC and couldn't be happier. Worth noting that the VC guilloche dial is also 18k gold. I may be biased but my preference would be in the order of: 1. VC (Yup the dial, movement, finishing, history) 2. Lange (I still preferred a Manual wound Lange and that's where it shines) 3. PP (Never a fan of their dials but I do like PP's movement)
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.
For me it's the A.L&S, the dial reflects light like smooth silk and the movement on the back is just perfect in my opinion. The other watches are great of course, but the A.L&S takes the crown here imo
Tom The Fish FP Journe makes 900 watches per year., Debuthune make 150, MB&F in the low double digits, same with LF. We are talking apples to oranges. The level of artisanal skill required to make 50,000 (Patek) or even 30,000 (AP) watches is astronomical. The independents are amazing but it’s like comparing small batch chips to Doritos. Somehow you can’t stop eating the Doritos. The financial backing of both AP and Patek is strong. The independents operate on a shoestring budget. They are much more vulnerable than the big guys. Any market turn will be the end of them. That’s why so few stay independent. Like FP Journe (20% owned by Channel). And I don’t blame them for seeking help. Let’s hope they all stick around for our lifetime.
Instantly happy when I saw a new video from Watchfinder & Co. Love the narration, quality of the shots and learning more about the history of timepieces!
Very slick of you Watchfinder. I initially fell under your spell and was amazed by the description of the three watches. Then, after stepping back it hit me. You just re-defined the Holy Trinity without saying a word. The fact that you grouped these three watches on the same plain says it all. I was left contemplating purchasing all three amazing watches for all of the aforementioned reasons. Let the age old debate be settled after today! Well played my friend, well played!
None of what A. Lange & Sohne does is better than Patek nor has the history of movement developments. A. Lange & Sohne is a stunning watch but cannot be compared to Patek on any level. Patek has been around for since 1839 with no interruptions and they remained privately owned. A. Lange & Sohne is a rival brand with the highest quality in watch making and hopefully they keep growing slowly and gently.
ALS may not have the history like Patek, but they definitely have similar pedigree. One great example of a movement they themselves developed that Patek, to my knowledge, has not is the Zeitwerk and Triple Split movements. Especially the Zeitwerk.
If you care about appearance VC wins but I would say Lange is more special - a second to none as a unit. PS: I wasn't surprise the video actually does not feature a Calatrava (if you know, you know).
Out of the three, it is the Vacheron I find the most aesthetically pleasing. Incidentally, Vacheron guarantee they will repair your watch, whatever the year it was made. You can pass it down to your son or daughter and rest assured he or she will be able to enjoy it when the time comes. I chose a VC Patrimony in white gold.
I couldn’t understand how this channel could be so consistently refined and polished in its presentation. Then I learned that Watchfinder is owned by Richemont. The owner of VC and Lange, among others.
Yes they are.. they also own cartier, JLC, panerai and IWC along with a few more power brands.. I remember them as a single pre owned specialist (appointment only ) in maidstone, Kent (UK). Bought a few pre owned and a few new watches there many years ago. Good old days when the service was impeccable!!! Look at them now...
VC has a special place in my heart (particularly the Patrimony line)- the blood races a little when I see the VC cross. Recently, I've taken a mistress in the Lange, though I can't decide if I like the Saxonia line or Lange 1 line better. When the Patek walks by, I will definitely lower my sunglasses and take a long look as it walks away... phew!
If I could pick just one brand for my entire collection, I’d pick Vacheron. Love both the others, but VC has such gorgeous watches across the board. The Historiques and Overseas lines are both amazing, and the Traditionelle line has some gems too.
@@misteratoz great picks, Lange has a solid lineup too. I’ve never been a big zeitwerk fan, but the entire Lange 1 line has some of the best dial design. I like Richard Lange and 1815s more than saxonias in general but also wonderful pieces. I’m also totally in love with the odysseus. Complicated lange like double and triple split chronographs are masterpieces
The Vacheron is beautiful in the details with beautiful fine finishing of the movement along with top tier case, dial, and hands. Lange has always had great cases, dials, and hands as well. Their approach to the movement focuses on a striking display back with the gold chatons, plate material, and blued screws.
A. Lange & Sohne is not at the level of AP nor should it be considered. A. Lange & Sohne are a new revival brand and they have a ways to go before they can be part of the prestige given to the other brands. Even Rolex and JLC do not get included and they make fantastic sports and dress watches.
@@bighands69 agreed, the real holy trinity should probably be Patek, VC, and JLC - I’d prefer Breguet, but the holy trinity is really meant for Swiss watches anyway
I think it's a very underrated brand, as ridiculous as it may sound. I see a lot of people saying that VC doesn't deserve to be a part of the Holy Trinity, but I think they deserve more than any other brand. No single watch gets all the attention there, everything from the Overseas to the American 1921 is equally important. Geneva Seal all around. And the brand doesn't force buyers to get the most expensive versions of a new watch by releasing the previous metals first. No, steel is released first or at the same time as the other metals. Such a good brand. Deserves a lot more love.
I love all three, but I feel that the Saxonia Thin is more in this realm than the Saxonia. If I had the cash to choose any of these, I'd put it toward the Saxonia Thin.
Also, thanks for reminding us that the guilloche dial is not the sole property of Czapek and Cie (Quai des Bergues)!! That rose engine turning is mesmerizing. VC always surprises me.
Anyone enthusiastic about watchmaking would be lying if he doesn’t appreciate a Lange. Aesthetically I am a fan of the 8 shape design of Jacquet Droz but speaking of finer details Lange is best of the best. Other channels pale in comparison with how narration is done here in this channel. Marvelous.
Agreed. Audemars only really has the Royal Oak (and its variants) at this point. They've killed off most of their historical lines. Either JLC, Lange, or Breguet should take the spot.
@@flyingphoenix113 with all due respect to Breguet and JLC but A. Lange & Söhne had already taken the spot... I mean look at the Datograph Perpetual , it's the best watch on sale today according to many watch connoisseurs.
@@raedsakly2463, a Trinity spot in the 21st century has to be taken by a cohesive brand, not just a single watch lineup/series. I think the defining verdict on if or if not Lange can take a grail position is going to be the performance of their new sports watch, since sports/dive watches now account for a massive percentage of both sales and percieved brand identity (again, look at AP. The only reason they got the spot in the first place is because of just how influential the Royal Oak has been).
The Vacheron, going away. The guilloche is sooo crisp. Amazing. The back of the Lange looks better than the front. Cold and sparse. On the other hand, the Patek looks overwrought. 3 tracks of indices??? Annoying! The level of craft in all 3: a joy.
Brilliant Video! Pleased to see that you didn't short any of them, instead you brought out they're strengths in a very nice poetic way! Would like to see a review of the AP Montoya Titanium.
Well made video. I couldn't choose and I'm looking for a dress watch. The VC caught my attention the most initially but I feel the Patek is like a wine that gets better with age. The Lange is excellent as well since I love a clean dial and should prefer this over the Patek.
Excellent. I covet all three, but it’s four I really want, & for number one, definitely a R.W. Smith Series four. They are a quite difficult to get a hold of, being British, & entirely hand made, down to the components themselves. Ah, pipe dreams… gotta love em.
You asked to name the brands we want to see featured? For me it's VC, Patek and Lange. So i think, this video is perfect for my taste. This 3 watches are soooooo beautiful 👍😃😃🤩
I actually tried a guilloche machine at Breguet booth in Basel world 2 years ago, wonderful machine, and the master watchmaker was really a watchmaking master 👍 I would definitely get the A. Lange & Söhne, beautiful watch
New to your videos, loving them so far! 3 absolutely stunning pieces, all have a different personality but VC stands out for me! I love sector dials but too sporty for this collection (especially with a date). Lange a close second!
There's hardly a chance I'd be able to afford most of the watches in these videos, but I come back each time for the sheer joy of hearing what Watchfinder has to say about the watches, the way the watches are presented visually as well as the exceptional description and analogous explanation is probably the best I have ever heard in any product show. Kudos to you guys! You make truly stunning videos and your story behind the watch just fascinates me every time... maybe one day, I'll own one of these, for now My Seiko is handy enough 😁
Out of these 3 watchmakers I'd in 99% of situations choose A. Lange & Söhne just as the next guy. But for that dial Vacheron Constanin is the clear winner for me and the example of the 1%. I also think that a proper watch is hand-wound so that gives it some extra credit while I also really dislike the date windows so that's what disqualifies the Patek Philippe for me
We know you want more watches…. click here: linktr.ee/watchfinder
Almost every other time, I'm with A. Lange. but between these particular 3 I think I have to go with the Vacheron. That dial is just exquisite.
My least favorite style of watches, it’s just dress watches with THAT amount of “restraint” is too subtle for my senses. But Vacheron dial is something special. I would chose Vacheron out of them 3. Patek second, and zi germans take third.

I'm not really drawn to minimal design dress watches I'm more breguet classique engraved dials and blued hands 👌
Jonni Salvin I personally love Breguet. Also Arnold&Son offers stunning watches at reasonable prices, that you can actually find and purchase
Thank you for typing my thoughts for me.
I feel you. It's just so hard to get over the back of the A.Lange
The patterned dial of the VC is mesmerising. All three are very special
AL91 not to mention the way he filmed it.. I literally felt lost and like I was inside the watch ... Just amazing.
Is there any video of manufacturing of that dial pattern? I would love to find out how it is done. Thank you.
@@TomLoupeznik search for Jouchan Benzinger, he does great guilloche on his watches
The dial of the Vacheron Constantin is so-out-of-this-universe! Probably the deepest optical zoom watchfinder ever applied to a detail. And it´s still perfect!

PP has way too much unnecessary junk on the dial. Immediate deal killer.
Acesuprol 2107 rather the opposite actually. Patek is by far the mainstream normie choice.
My same thoughts, though I'd be happy to have any of them...
A. Lange & Sohne is on my list to get at some point but it is not at the level that the trinity of watches are at.
If you’re going to shorten the name, please call it Lange and not ALS...

@@purplefabian I reported them. Don't worry you will never see something this graphic again.
Vacheron for the winner this time. That dial is so crispy oh my goooodddd
Andrew Secondo Agreed!
Stop being fanboys.
Can't agree more !!
Agreed. Im still amazed at the lettering appliqué on top of the guilloché. The Patek looks like a peasant watch compared to the other two.
As always, a lesson in storytelling. The video, the script, the delivery are just as exquisite as the watches.
The scripting. The macro. The voice. This is one of the best videos ever.
That close up on VC dial was unreal. So gorgeous but the buttery smooth aesthetic of the Lange done it for me.
“Sometimes cozy and sweet is nice, sometimes it’s better to have something that bites back.” I’m wet.
I was reading comments while watching the video and I read your comment exactly when it was said in the video, felt wierd hahah
Gorgeous line up of wristies...all 3 are splendid.
I think the VC is most stunning out of these 3...that dial and movement architecture are just perfect. Really great comparison video.

Audemars Piguet code 11.59: "Am I a joke to you?"
Watch industry: "Yes"
PP just too fuzzy for me and the VC is the champion here, however, the A&S's movement leave others in dust!
I started off admiring the Patek and ended up falling in love with the Vacheron .........................its just so beautiful
Me the Lange, so breathtaking, flip it around and see the movement incredible craftsmanship and beauty, that is why I own a Lange
The main issue with A. Lange watches lies in their servicing.

Vacheron dial is tops but Lange movement more beautiful.
Absolutely stunning, from content to micro shots... I have no words other than to say THANK YOU!!!!!!
AP officially kicked from the Holy Trinity. :)
@Tom The Fish I totally disagree with you on PP. They represent the best of horology. However no one knows what's coming in the future.
@Tom The Fish PP dead in 20 Years ??? I am pretty pretty sure the Nautilus is outselling the Royal Oak at the moment.
AP is not here because it's over ALS, VC and PP. AP save the Swiss watch industry, is not the best, it's the ONE.
PD: Only ALS didn't copy Royal Oak.
Tom The Fish FP Journe makes 900 watches per year., Debuthune make 150, MB&F in the low double digits, same with LF. We are talking apples to oranges.

The way you talk about watches is absolutely poetic. Please make more videos about A. Lange & Söhne
Very rarely does a Patek come across less appealing, but this time, it's fallen into the shadows a bit for me against the other two

That Vacheron is lovely! My favorite of the trio!
Excellent. I covet all three, but it’s four I really want, & for number one, definitely a R.W. Smith Series four. They are a quite difficult to get a hold of, being British, & entirely hand made, down to the components themselves.
Ah, pipe dreams… gotta love em.
Lange is always slightly ahead of the curve
That ALS Saxonia is just so perfect. The flawless classic wristwatch.
All are amazing but my pick is the ALS of course. VC over the Patek but I would certainly wouldn’t mind having any of them :)
if you’re going to shorten the name, please call it Lange and not ALS...
Of those 3, it's The Saxonia for me.
Yeah the Lange and Vacheron got the Patek beat in this one I think
I like more the A. Lange with the large date.
A. Lange & Söhne all the way!
Please do one with A Lange 1815 chronograph (black dial, yellow gold) against its respective rival(s) (on top of my head is patek)
You asked to name the brands we want to see featured? For me it's VC, Patek and Lange. So i think, this video is perfect for my taste. This 3 watches are soooooo beautiful 👍😃😃🤩
Your passion and attention to details for the watch had me in tears.
I actually tried a guilloche machine at Breguet booth in Basel world 2 years ago, wonderful machine, and the master watchmaker was really a watchmaking master 👍
I would definitely get the A. Lange & Söhne, beautiful watch
New to your videos, loving them so far! 3 absolutely stunning pieces, all have a different personality but VC stands out for me! I love sector dials but too sporty for this collection (especially with a date). Lange a close second!
There's hardly a chance I'd be able to afford most of the watches in these videos, but I come back each time for the sheer joy of hearing what Watchfinder has to say about the watches, the way the watches are presented visually as well as the exceptional description and analogous explanation is probably the best I have ever heard in any product show. Kudos to you guys! You make truly stunning videos and your story behind the watch just fascinates me every time... maybe one day, I'll own one of these, for now My Seiko is handy enough 😁
Great review as per.... I love all three but the VC stole it for me, the dial is exquisite
Out of these 3 watchmakers I'd in 99% of situations choose A. Lange & Söhne just as the next guy. But for that dial Vacheron Constanin is the clear winner for me and the example of the 1%. I also think that a proper watch is hand-wound so that gives it some extra credit while I also really dislike the date windows so that's what disqualifies the Patek Philippe for me
I really don't know how or why, but I feel that the A lange und söhne has something really special to it.
Its like choosing between Miss World, Miss Universe and one of the Victoria Secret models...
Well, that's easy - Victoria's Secret without a second of hesitation. Not sure about these three watches.
Hah! Good one!)))
@@thenewexeptor have you seen Victoria Secret recently?! lol
Great comparison. Thanks for sharing...
I'm all for the A. Lange & Sohne but I love the blued hands on the Patek
Me too!
@@chrispenn715 it's unfortunate I'll never own any of them anyway 😅 I'm lucky to have a few nice ones though
