They can't bring anything "never seen before"
Oct 18, 2019,04:51 AM
HYT can, De Bethune can, MB&F can, Urwerk can... but ALS can't because they must take the standard - conservative route... sure, it will be something new and non standard by ALS standards, but in the segment of steel sport watches we have at least 16 watches that people love to call Genta clones, and this one will not be very different... but I'm not negative to others manufactures views of sport watch, I even found lot of good in Chopard last creation, so I have big hopes for this ALS... can't wait 24th...

Oh wow the rumors were true

It doesnt happen very often that something related to watches is really, really exciting!
I finally found it
By: Reuven Malter : October 18th, 2019-00:59
Would not have found it without your mention here. There is some substantial information in the video, that i really love: - most likely a steel watch (because they already use all the other materials on a regular basis) - it could be affordable for norma...

I Just Hope it doesn't Look Like a Copy of another watch
By: nafetS : October 18th, 2019-01:10
Good thing is A Lange did their own Thing so far, so there's a good Chance they will Not Just Bring another genta-like or rolex-like Clone. Edit: It Just now came into my mind, that 24th october is the exact day of the 25th "Birthday" of the First introdu...
I forgot one more thing...

The box! Just as Patek has opted to change the box for the nautilus in 1976 to make it fit to the theme of the watch - watertight so corc - ALS did just that: the came up with an elbsandstein-kind of box, almost as natural as the corc version. Nice.
Imagine!

I can imagine a 39-41mm steel case, simple complication (dual time, date, annual calendar), 100m WR, 25k-30K price watch from A. Lange & Sohne. Steel bracelet and composite strap models, white and black dials - maybe even blue and salmon on some models. I...
Alexander Linz mentioned in the comments a 48 hrs power reserve
By: jack johnson : October 18th, 2019-04:40
I wonder if this means the L021.1 movement meaning the watch will have a Lange 1 Daymatic dial layout??? Tweaked towards a sports design, lumed, etc?? If it was based on the Saxonia auto movement the power reserve would have been 72 hrs.

I agree.

There are only so many ways one can slice a steel sports watch on a bracelet if you are a traditional manufacture. I expect it’ll be unmistakably Lange, and that the chunky / fat / hockey puck cases many like to hate will actually work well for a sports w...
I know what you mean!

My thoughts exactly. But still waiting to be "wowed" by this conservative brand.
Great

I get to put my name on another waiting list...
Good luck with that...
By: Pour le Mérite : October 18th, 2019-07:33
From what I’ve heard this watch will be boutique exclusive and the first production run for existing clients only.
Oh...
By: Reuven Malter : October 18th, 2019-09:14
I should be more precise: i really do hope that this is not true.
Mr Linz is so nice...
By: Reuven Malter : October 18th, 2019-09:22
.. he posts a comment to almost all comments made. And on two occasions, he seems to hind that it is below 42, one post almost reads like he confirms a size below 40. I did make some screenshots so to check back on that day next week. He seems to be reall...
As the owner of two Langes....

and a big fan of the brand, I must say: enough hype. Not sure whose marketing idea this extended rollout is, but I fear it can lead at best to relief (that the watch is pretty good after all) and at worst to disappointment.
It Will be Limited and Boutique Only
By: IndieFan : October 18th, 2019-20:10
Don't expect to be able to walk in and buy this watch, it will only be sold to existing clients or with a large purchase as it's going to be a limited exclusive run. This is Lange's new strategy, and they are turning away new clients (those without an exi...
Indiefan,
By: Reuven Malter : October 19th, 2019-13:42
Thank you for giving us more and precise information. I think thats fair to their fanbase. Could you tell me where you got your information from?
Sure...
By: IndieFan : October 20th, 2019-15:18
I've heard the same from several boutiques that I have relationships with, which happen to be in different countries. A limited run makes sense as a business strategy as they clearly don't want to only sell "steel" watches, and it's being viewed as a rewa...
