I commend the efforts to protect a brand but when you don't really have the marketing in place to drive the demand you are asking for a lot of pain come a poor economy.

Tim Mosso from watchbox one week ago saying his source claims that the launch will be in October:

I was also told by boutique staff that it would launch in October, and there's an event at the boutique in Hong Kong on October 17th. Seems to line up.

Im curious as to how the design will end up looking like. I just really cant imagine a SS from Lange of all brands. I understand the reasons why behind a product like this but I always thought Lange would go against the grain and be the only brand without a SS in their catalogue. Almost a point of pride kinda thing but alas, I know these companies are in the business...of well...business lol. |

Anyway, I hope Lange takes the high road and abstains from making something that isn't true to them. |

Six days to go, then we’ll know exactly what they’ve been working on for a couple of years or so…

You are not a heavy hitter and you are spending that kind of money on watches? Hmmm.

There are photos floating around of it that I’ve seen but sadly don’t have to share.
It’s classic Lange DNA that hugs the dress line a bit more for a sports watch Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

There are a few mock ups floating around but I’m pretty sure there are no actual images of the watch in circulation yet.

I’d be surprised if it was not 20-25k.

They will likely position it as a Nautilus competitor.

A. Lange & Söhne Sports Watch
Is this confirmed to be SS? If it is, think they need to price it in the low-mid 20s, not higher. The company is in trouble financially and they need to get their heads out of the clouds and start pricing their watches competitively to turn things around (amongst other things).

That being said, please tell me where you heard the Company is in trouble financially. I know Lange doesn't release its financials, but Richemont as a whole did pretty well in F2019. I am under no delusion that Lange performs as well as Patek or AP, but I'm curious to learn where you heard that they were in trouble financially. Is this backed by any concrete evidence? |

Roughly 5,000 watches a year. And some of the best in the industry. |

There have been rumors on TRF that Lange itself (not Richemont) has not been profitable and I had the opportunity recently to confirm this personally with someone who was high up in the company. It was an interesting conversation as we both love Lange and think it’s ashame that they aren’t doing better than they are as a business. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

Recently had lunch (twice) with Wilhelm Schmid - I would suggest Lange has a very clear plan moving forward for it's pieces and distribution. I will say no more other than the move to a Boutique distribution model and no discounting is clear for all to see.

The official Lange Instagram just uploaded a teaser on their Instagram stories. Looks to be a steel watch for sure anyways.
