Audemars Piguet: I love the Beast but had to wait 30 years to find the perfect version 🤗

The integrated Chrono-movement was important to me as well as the symmetrical and centered distribution of the sub-dials and the quick-release function for bracelet/straps.

A. Lange & Söhne: Well, their arrogance might start to fall back to them …

… as demand might slow down due to multiple crisis. Given their behavior during the last years I hope that they get a very big hit in the time to come, have to change their arrogant management and re-start with a more customer oriented approach.

A. Lange & Söhne: Very sad to hear ...

... that means, that the minimum repair cost would add to 8300€ if you don't opt for the optional work (dial and refurbishment)???

A. Lange & Söhne: You might want to try this contact:

Gudrun Pahl at +49-35053-440 I got this name and number back in 2016 when I have sent my Datograph to Glashütte for a service. No idea if Mrs Pahl ist still with Lange or if the number still exists.

A. Lange & Söhne: Just look at Kununu.com to get an idea what a watchmaker at ALS earns: an average of 31700€ per year (before taxes and social insurances)!

This average is based on 19 answers of employees, gross annual salaries range from 22900€ to 49000€. Based on the average salary of 31700€ this translates to 1815€ net (after taxes and insurances) per month.

A. Lange & Söhne: I wrote an email directly to the CEO and got no response at all.

And it has been an honest mail explaining my entire history with the brand including purchases at ADs and personal visits in Glashütte etc. No response - neither from the CEO nor from his assistant or customer service. And I sent the mail twice to be sure.

A. Lange & Söhne: I had a very similar experience in Germany!

If you are not a customer of a L&S boutique you are not a customer - regardless what you’ve bought at ADs in the past. I have never ever experienced such an arrogant brand. Now - I would never buy an Odysseus anymore. After the latest price jump it cost 38.900€ in Germany. For a steel watch. Sor

A. Lange & Söhne: That is a valid point …

… especially if you look at Richemont‘s financial statements and the profit development of the watchmaking section.
