Essentially they paid their dues and some of their older complications are amazing. And they have a insanely long history similar to that of Patek. I have a fiftysix calendar and absolute adore it

Similar to Patek? They were celebrating their 90th birthday by the time Patek got into its own... Patek is not that old. Many watch brands were founded in the mid 1800s. Actually Lange was founded the very same year as Patek, in 1845, JLC 12 years earlier and IWC about 20 years later. Really nothing too special about that, especially when you compare that with Vacheron‘s uninterrupted production since 1755.
