It's always a pleasure to discover the new timepieces introduced by the German brand at the SIHH and there were many again this year!
And what better to be introduced to this with CEO of the brand Mr Wilhelm Schmid.

MY GOODNESS. THOSE WATCHES ARE HEART THROBBING . AS WELL AS HIGH QUALITY. SIMPLY THE BEST.
LOOKS LIKE THE COMPANY IS IN GREAT HAND WITH MR SCHMID.
A. Lange & Söhne is simply the best watchmaking company in the world. They are extremely underrated just because of the silly fact that they are not from Switzerland. But they're producing the finest quality timepieces in the world. I have a deep respect for their works.
Mr. Schmid is the perfect example of how a CEO of a high horology brand as A. lang & Söhne should be! He is warm-hearted, passionate and modest. It is always a delight to listen him.
Always a pleasure to interview! Thanks for the comment
Agreed! Very humble and approachable, too, it seems, which is exceptional for people in his position.
Mr. Schmid seems like a genuinely sincere and humble person for a CEO 👍🏻
Ashton Kee That's where his success comes from...humility.
How Marc is being welcome by everyone he interviews & the genuine flair & flow of the conversation it's truly a testimony to Marc being a 'player' & respectability
Thanks for this, highly appreciated view of yours!! All the very best to you
These are defininatly the Highlights of SIHH2018.
Great Interview with an impressive and nice CEO .
I love to listen to him
For this reason a Lange is one the best pioneers in the business. Always the best designs and ideas in its watches. Greatness.
Amazing CEO talking about amazing watch movement, truly passionate.
I absolutely love this brand...I can only wish that one day I will make enough to be able to own one of their entry level pieces to hand down and be remembered by.
That's a nice thought, bravo!
My favourite watch company. Lots of love to Marc & ALS
Thanks so much, very appreciated! Have a great day
What a CEO! That's how it should be in more companies. He's really enjoying the watches and proud of the work. Even admits that he didn't agree with the company's founder.
That's what I call passion!
Merveilleux! Tout simplement merveilleux! L&S is ... ultra quality and class. Bravo encore, Marc André, pour ce reportage!
Mais de rien, c'est toujours un immense plaisir de découvrir les montres d'ALS!
Best Live interview coverage so far.. so excited for new uploads, Thanks guys!
Lange und Söhne is the brand that made me a mechanical watch enthousiast several years ago with their Langematik perpetual. While that was not their most complicated watch, it was the watch that opened my eyes to the mechanical ingenuity behind traditional watchmaking. I was really impressed that the moonphase as well as the perpetual calendar complication were implemented purely with mechanics (and without the need of electronics such as on smartwatches) while still keeping the design traditional, simple and, well, simply beautiful. This triggered me to explore the world of mechanical watch making more and so far the journey has been brilliant. And now that I'm wearing a 'Build your own watch' timepiece, I appreciate the craftsmanship even more.
Anyway, great to see Lange und Söhne still keep their traditions alive. Amazing time pieces.
Thanks for this enthusiastic comment and what kind of "build your own" did you build? Best to you
TheWATCHES.tv Thanks! I was specifically referring to this company:
www.buildyourownwatch.com
They ship the watch components separately so that the customer is able to assemble his watch himself. Truth to be told: the movement itself is already completed (it’s a Miyota 8125 movement); the customer needs to put the hands on the movement, the rotor, put it in the watch case etc. Nevertheless, it gives a slight taste of how high end watches are painstakingly assembled. And as it was given to me as a present and since it is my first ever mechanical time piece, it has extra value to me.
Best regards
Thank You Mark, have fun time watching.
Watching like crazy!!!
complexity combined with simplicity it's a combination hard to beat!
My interest for ALS is sure growing by the second!
Thank you for this great video Marc and Wilhelm! :)
Many thanks, happy it made you happy!
The CEO has a great personality, and those are great watches!
Loving that Triple Split! :D ... And well done Lange for supporting Children Action.
Oh how I've been waiting for this!
Hope you enjoyed it ;)
Amazing brand and probably the nicest and coolest CEO of the watch industry. Good job MAD!
Thanks a lot, happy you enjoyed it! Best to you
What a beautiful timepiece
Another interesting and well made video, thanks
Ah, my favorite watch reporter speaking about my favorite watch company. It is a good day...
Nice, thanks so much for this cool comment!
Lange are my favourite luxury watch - the movements are so 3D and layered. I love thin mechanical watches on the wrist but have to admit the thicker cases enable the movement and dials to be much more interesting to look at.
Superb work, as usual.
Very nice of you, thanks so much!!
The editors outdone themselves with this intro, damn, loved that transition.
Thanks a lot!!
Hear, hear.
Great CEO and great channel! Congrats!
many thanks, very nice of you!
Love the Lange jumping hand but sadly it's expensive!
One of these days i m getting a A.Lange und Söhne
Totally share this feeling ;) Keep us posted about it
A pure gentelmen. Very aware and natural sense at making his counterpart comfortable. I now wish i could afford one.
They are better than AP, Patek and V.C., in many aspects.
Smaller production volumes...
Gianpa kasa agree! But in my opinion majority of Bregeut looks nicer than Lange.
Gianpa kasa Agree - I especially prefer Lange’s movements to all other watches I’ve seen - they are works of art in their own right.
Disagree. L&S watches are bulky and their style is quite primitive and uninspired, similar to some factory gauges.
In my opinion, Majority of A.Länge &Sohne pieces are much better looking and valuable compare to the holy trinity Patek, AP and Vacheron. Cheers to Bregeut as well, the top 5 brands in the world of horology in my thoughts.
I find the jumping seconds hommage to Walter Lange very elegant in its simplicity. Its strangeness makes it interesting and rare.
Que bonito el primer reloj !!!
He's great
Great channel👍
Many thanks for this!
Who needs Davos, German and Swiss diplomacy at work right here.
Haha, nice way of looking at it!
Great man and company - or should I say "men and companies"? ;-) Lovely interview about breathtaking watches. Really glad to see that Wilhelm Schmid admires and respect TheWATCHES.tv and Marc André as the community does! As always, keep up the great work =)
Thanks, very cool of you to say so! All the very best
Amirable that they give to under priv kids, I did charity work for some they where so funny and apreciative!
Just have come to respect A Lange even more! 🍷🍷
That's something they will highly appreciate, thanks for the comment!
THE brand, very interesting interview with a very sympathetic CEO. The simple big date would be my choice, truly beautiful 👍🏻🙏🏻
Nice watch indeed!
I love Lange ! They never created quartz watches when AP and Patek did. Lange 1 is one of my all time fav !
Shared feeling and one day, one day it will be on my wrist!!
True but they weren't operating then. If that triple split had a PP logo on it, it would be over a $1 million. Lange is simply the best of the best in my opinion.
I love the saxonia outsize date
Nice piece, like it too
Name of intro song with piano?
Fantastic overview! Hope to see a WatchPorn video of that Triple Split on your channel in the future :).
Yes, thinking of doing a special SIHH one already in fact! What do you think?
Yes please! That would be fantastic.
Definitely my second favourite watch company.
So who's the first? ;)
There is only one true, expert watch company: Patek.
TheWATCHES.tv timex or maybe casio
Scott kasper
Don’t forget Invicta and Fossil!
RandMan14 I don’t throw the word masterwork around very often, but have you seen the latest from armitron?
I want the giant chrono movement for my wall 😍😍😍😍😍
I noticed on the jumping seconds watch as well as on another one from a different brand which also had a ticking seconds subdial that the 2 seconds displays are not syncronized which looks a bit odd as if the watch is showing two timezones. Any explanation for that?
He forgot to mention that the jumping seconds hand can act like a stopwatch so you can start and stop it while letting the sub seconds hand continue. You can't reset it though.
Exactly and thanks for the update for scuba453
There is no reason to reset it, it should just start running the actual time when stopping it.
Charming man . Who is his tailor, I think I recognize those jacket shoulders, but I cannot recall the name.
Sounds like an expert eye there! Will ask him next time I see him, promised!
A question that always I wanted to ask: Can somebody asks people at the ALS to customize a certain model in a different case material than the original marketing ad?
Does the answer apply to other well-known brands?
I think this always comes down to budget, but some brands are totally against such customisation and some others have dedicated departments to handle this, for instance the Cabinotier department of Vacheron Constantin
A watch that’s made to wear? What will they think of next Germany
What is the name of the font used on the outer portion of the case thats of course if you are allowed to say. It is a font like I have never ever seen before. I would love to type a letter using this font. Anyone have any idea? Please let me know thank U very much
I will check it out!
Thank you
These guys............
Not many unit available online for this triple split, the last one i see, is already above the retail price. 175000 USD..waiting my time to be multi millionaire.
Wasn't that unique piece the steel one which sold at Only Watch?
Wasn't at Only Watch, but you're right it was sold at a special auction and we did have a special on that one too ;) ruclips.net/video/qevu0PLGLmU/видео.html Best to you
Yes I must say not many women's model
Mad! I'm pretty sure he has a crush on you!
Hahaha ;)
I don’t understand the jumping seconds complication. What is the point of going through the difficult work of trying to build a mechanical that behaves like a quartz?
Jumping seconds are judged as being more accurate for the timing fans and it is a technical complication in terms of development, but I understand your point of view, so to have both resolves this issue ;) Best to you
🤴
No fancy crappy design like the others such as Jacob & co, etc. Watchmaking at it finest. A langr is impeccably the best of tge best.
Well one reason not to have jumping seconds and normal seconds on the same dial becomes obvious when they both show a different time. Oops.
would be nice to have a small Lange 1 with a less feminine dial and color.
Could happen, who knows!!
good morning sir . iam indian ap my watch shop in ap jk so i am watch repaired since 1994. i have swiss watches clecttion. iwant best price saleing.
