A real shame, especially since this brand has limitless potential, in my opinion the only three brands that can stir up the same kind of emotion in a watch collector as Patek are Vacheron. Lange, and Parmigiani if developed right. This is especially true with the decline in Patek finishing standards to ramp up production and catering to mass taste.
Don't get me wrong, I believe Patek and Rolex are the kings of high horology and sport watches respectively, and Patek still produces divine finely finished pieces in the ultra high end that rival the best independents, but the range they offer today is wider than in years past.

Although I am dissatisfied with Lange corporate management, I have all the respect for their designers and watchmakers! I uploaded a reel here if you feel like being blown aways by sheer gorgeousness ...
Gorgeous!

What irks you about Lange Management Specifically?
Oh. Yes. I remember that...

Yeah... The whole scheme and process to qualify for certain pieces was all leaked onto Instagram. What a mess!

In full agreement.

I try to separate the Lange product with the management decisions. The product has almost always usually been very good. Management decisions and leaks are sometimes less perfect. Of course this separation is very hard to do.
Gorgeous macro shot!!!

Very sorry to hear about your disappointment with the Odysseus allocation. I you're able to fully enjoy the Langes that you do have.
I am indeed

I have all the respect for the designers, finishers, and watchmakers, the end result is just fantastic, it's only Richmonds strategy that irks me. To be honest it's not that big of a deal that I didn't get the Odysseus, I like the watch but it's not a mus...
