I must admit I don't know much about this brand
But the AD told me that together with PP, VC, and AP, they are being considered as the top four manufactureres in the world. Any input / arguements?! And yes I just visted the AD due to the price adjustment story from yesterday. Thanks.

this is the best watch company in existence. Everything Lange makes borders on perfection. Not that I am getting carried away.
To make a long story short...
Yes we can make such statement but with a big detail: Lange is german so it enbodies the traditional german watchmaking style. So the lay-out of the movements are very different from the Swiss ones and the decoration features are also very specific. What ...
On the " entry " level, I agree. Lange is a quite coherent brand.
Now, to say that it is the best... I don't know. Which criterion is considered for such a statement? THAT would be interesting to know, or at least to discuss... Best, Nicolas
Well...obviously...
it's the best because I think so. Most humbly. You agree, don't you?
Who is better at the higher end, Patek?........
The highest end Patek's certainly hold their value much better vs an equivalent Lange or any other brand for that matter making it much easier to shell out 6 figures for a watch. Knowing that you will potentally not lose half if you ever need to resell on...
again, im very new to this world
but i find it interesting the Q my wife ask me earlier, "so who is the Hermes and who is the LV in this world". to her, one rep quality and the other merely marketing hype.
The reason why I argue that Lange is the best brand is that all the watches the company makes, work well;
most of them look great; many of them are ingenious; and every one of them are finished to the highest standards. Regarding this last point-only small independent watchmakers finish at this level, this consistently. And they make 20, 30, 40 or maybe 100 w...
Appreciate all the feedback
will try and study more about this brand now that the response is overwhelmingly positive.
Hard to say which is the best brand
Many criteria, different levels of offering etc For me personally, Lange is one of my favorite brands, along with JLC and Montblanc (especially their Villeret collection). Does this mean these 3 brands are the best? No for sure. But to me, they are my fav...
I really don't see any difference............
Patek and Rolex maybe family owned but just as much "corporate greed" goes on at those two places as well. Patek in particular has pretty much set the standard for incredible price increases both on the retail and auction side this past decade. Tony
Yes among the top three watch manufacturers in the world.
For me, it would be Lange number one, Patek, then Vacheron, then AP. This is just based on models like the Zeitwerk, Richard lange tourbillon, Richard Lange jumping seconds etc. Too many models to mention. But hey, this is just my opinion in terms of the ...
I think your AD's statement is too reductionist to be meaningful or useful.
As you can see from this thread and from many others like it (Rolex vs. Omega, etc.), terms like "best" and "top four" spark endless (often interesting) discussion without yielding any firm, useful conclusions. To get more conclusive answers, you need to ...
