Lang and Heyne
Hi,
In the process of getting the Lang and Heyne Georg. Any owners in the forum? I would like to get your feedback? Or what is your opinion regarding the brand? My only concern is longevity. My only independent as of the moment is an fpjourne and i truly believe it will outlive the owner. (I dont wish anything bad with the owner). But you want the brand have longevity with after sales service. Lastly, what you guys think about the quality of Lang and Heyne?

Interesting subject …
I’m not currently an owner but have handled and discussed several Lang and Heyne watches. The quality is excellent in my opinion and relatively under the radar as a manufacturer. Good luck with your journey. Best regards Captain
I would say every good watchmaker will be able to help you
These are watch movements made like they do already 200 years. So I guess a good watchmaker can service your watch of necessary. And even can make or reproduce some parts if they would need to be replaced. On the other hand…. I have the same doubts when b...
That would have been my exact reply word for word
This is EXACTLY my opinion. Apart from very specific models or Indies the big majority are making their caliber in the traditional way with an amazing finishing. So service and maintenance should not be a problem with a qualified watchmaker.
+1. The simple pieces is not a problem.
It may be a process to find the right watchmaker to service them but certainly not impossible. Vintage watches have similar issues. Sometimes a part needs to me made from scratch.
The beautiful finishing....
Do you think if one of those bridges in the georg line can be replaced by a good watchmaker. It is so polished so well. Francis
Thanks!
This gives me confidence with my order. Hoping the brand is able to find a way to have longevity.
I've heard the same, I guess I've never had the experience of getting an independent watch serviced by a good watchmaker
MBF says luxury is being able to have things forever and they freely give out schematics. I guess my question is how many skilled watchmakers will service that or a lang heyne and how much that would cost? I personally have no experience and curious if an...
One of the best German brands around
I once owned a Fredrich lll. Someone was having a look at it and dropped if from 1.5 metres to the ground. The watch kept perfect time despite of the fall. The only snag I can see with this brand is the fact that both the founders have left the brand. Mar...
I did not know it had issues...
Good to hear they have resolved it. Thinking it is a simple time only watch, i would not have problems.
Although it is a simple time only watch,
something I always subscribe to, the movement design is quite different from any other rectangular watch.
Fantastic looking watch for any shaped watch lover
I never owned a L&H Georg but had the opportunity to see one at different occasions and can confirm it looks gorgeous and the finishing is top notch. As for the maintenance I would not worry at all as mentioned in some other posts of this thread. If y...
I own the Georg in SS
with black round dial/white second's dial. I love the watch. I would tell you to get a white enamel dial over the black dial.
Green enamel…
Is what i am going for. I am hoping my customization will be approved. I am not going with trends, it has always been my personal color.
Speaking only about looks, I've loved this watch since it came out.
So clean. The only negative thing I've heard said about it is the triple lugs, which to me is nothing.
Unfortunately, i am unable to try the watch
I hope the rectangle shape will fit my wrist, but i really love everything about the georg.
I have one and have been very happy with it.
I got the George when it first came out. That was when Marco was still at the company. I have not had any issues with it and would not hesitate to recommend it to someone as long as you know that repairs could become an issue at some point. But, like othe...
Sad to hear the founders….
have left. Do we know the reason? Kinda good that is still alive and well even when the original owners left.
I don't know. But others here might.
I hope it wasn't from the embarrassment of seeing their watches on my wrist!
I can only say I’m envious 😂
I have looked closely at this watch several times in the last 6 or so years. I was close on buying it (placing an order) in maybe 2017 or 2018 but I hesitated as I wasn’t certain it worked on my wrist (not being used to the shape, unsure if it was too lar...
Dont be…
I think you will have many more chances to get one 😀. And maybe they will be coming out with more complications. I am in love with the georg because of the movement.
Lang & Heyne make very attractive watches, hence they will be living for a long time..
Like others said: repair, decoration is always feasible by others too. This watch is asking for a lot of money and if you can spend it, than there are no worries. Get it, it is an outstanding watch!
I am just waiting for confirmations….
And i hope the process won’t be as long as they have mentioned.
Lang & Heyne is top of the watch pyramid
It will be better finished than your FPJ for example. I have the Friedrich III and had the georg which I sold to fund a grail piece otherwise it would still be mine. The Friedrich III I will never sell. It’s spectacular and special in every way. I doubt t...
Wow!
The freidrich pops with the orange strap! Agree with the finishing, i believe they are one of the best.
If you opt for rose gold
I would also get the rose gold hands. Just flows better to me.
