It's always amazing that when you see macros of Lange watches, they really are perfect. You see marcos of other highly-esteemed brands and you often find some mistakes or imperfections. Now, Lange does use a softer material (German Silver) which is sometimes easier to polish in watchmaking context, so it's not entirely fair to compare. But these photos sure would suggest the people at Lange do a very good job!
and still maintaining a non-indie brand.
I don't know why Lange isn't more highly appreciated. Some people say it's because Lange employees are paid much less than equivalent level employees at Swiss brands because Lange is in Eastern Germany where labor costs are lower. To that I say some of the most celebrated artists come from poverty and their works are worth as much today as celebrated artists that came from wealthy families who went to the best schools, etc. There are other reasons as well, but it all comes down to brand recognit
with the recent Yellow Jacket auction and Datographs are creeping fast and higher....I watch the trend closely since I always feel for the brand.
