I finally got a chance to go see these watches for real (see attached). I don't have any watches at the moment that are this high-end. I absolutely fell in love with these today and will have to find a way to get one someday. Looks like you can get one on the lower end for under $20K. Certainly tons of models much higher priced.

Though I loved the watch, it does make me wonder about Swiss vs. Germany. I imagine a great watch can be made anywhere, but the great ones all seem to be Swiss. Is there any reason to shy away from this brand because it is not Swiss? I'd also be curious about any current Lange owners and their thoughts on the watches?

They are the best.

The Lange 1 is probably my favorite watch ever made.

Agreed, ALS is stunning in the flesh and pictures just don't do it justice. Can you think of anything that the Germans don't make well? Cars, cameras, anything requiring fine engineering and precision they excel at, so they can definitely compete with the Swiss.

We share the same opinion.

Lange is definitely at the pinnacle of the horological universe. Except for a handful, most swiss watch makers don't come close to this exquisite brand. The finishing on each piece is absolutely divine.

Their commitment to excellence is among the very best.

IMO...they are above Patek.

Sacrilegious! But I couldn't agree more ;)
