I love newbies, they always have a unique view of things.

Lange 1 is amazing. Past that Patek IMO.

The Zeitwerk is possibly the most beautifully finished watch I’ve ever handled.

Patek is a brand that i am fairly confident will be around in a generation or two. Other high end brands, im not so sure of:ALS, FPJ, RM, etc.

Although to be fair, World War II was not Lange's fault.

That said, the PT Datograph is still a grail for me. I just need to be in a position to be able to buy it and remain married to it without having to care about resale.

Maybe these dials can do something to change your mind?

Neither was the Cold War.

Pretty sure they had a hand in that one.

The Handwerkskunst has a lovely Gemütlichkeit feel. Thanks Lange for two of my favourite words.

Thanks for sharing. That is dial art that I can't argue with!

In terms of pure watch-making skill, finishing, design - Lange is every bit the equal of Patek.

In terms of branding / marketing - Patek has an overwhelming advantage.

Had problems with 2 PPs, but so far I never have any problems with my Langes. IMO, finish wise?...Lange all day long!.

I enjoy both brands... I am a big fan of the 1815 collection!
