Behind the Big Date of A.Lange & Söhne

  • Have you ever wondered about the origin of the iconic Big Date aperture on A. Lange & Söhne #watches? We did as well after seeing an intricate table #clock at the @alangesoehne booth at Watches & Wonders in 2023.
    It appears that the #story behind this signature feature mysteriously connects Dresden, the Semperoper, and the Lange family for centuries. Moreover, it showcases, once again, the ingenuity of Ferdinand Adolph Lange, who was also the first watchmaker in Europe to introduce the metric system in his workshop.
    Bearing the same spirit of #innovation and attention to detail, Lange's descendants continue on a journey in search of ultimate precision. To better understand the concept behind each #timepiece, its coherence with the legacy of the #brand, and why they have to be assembled and disassembled at least twice, we explored the manufacturing process and examined different #watch collections and the ideas behind each design.
    So, which one of A. Lange & Söhne will you choose?

    As a collector about to have his “ooof moment” and buy his first Lange. I cannot thank you enough for this video. There is not a lot of content (comparatively) on Lange and this was a god send! So thank you! However. Next time could you ask them if a person who buys a second hand watch gets treated at a boutique as a collector or are they just seen as people that walk off the street 😅

    A stunning video as always, thanks a lot for this! Some months ago I had the pleasure of (for a few minutes while buying a much cheaper watch alas) wearing a Lange 1 Perpetual Calendar Tourbillon and was able to admire the extreme craftmanship of the company and the immaculate finish of the watch. Truly an experience to behold!

    Great video and great content, as usual. At 39:11, the zero reset is one of the nicest features of the Sax-O-Mat. I can only imagine those Langematik watch prices climbing up as they don't offer this on the Lange 1.

    Also, just curious, at 38:32 I can see that the older Lange 1's movement pops much more than the newer ones. What do you think explains this difference? Do you think it's a typical case of "they don't make them like they used to" :D?

      @@chia-mingyang5804 what is making that very 'obvious'? Certainly, there is more value in hearing from the actual handlers of those watches i.e. the vide authors, unless of course, you are a primary source for a similar comparison?
