OK Jay, Over the years watching your KZread channel I've seen you go from your trusty Seiko Sportura Chronograph directly to an Apple watch, without a hint that you had anything more up market. Sporting an A. Lange & Sohne is a quantum leap much like parking your MX-5 and putting miles on a Singer 911. I think that was the point Herr Schmid was making also; that his watches are indiviudal works of art that can't be duplicated by machines.

Go back and watch old Tonight Show clips. You’ll see his Lange poking out.
Great group and discussion. I could have watched another hour at least. Thanks to all involved.
This was awesome! Love the passion for watches and cars!,, ❤thank you!
This was excellent & I wish it'd been longer.
The beauty with hand made objects is the human soul of the creater get imparted into the creation
Really interesting discussion !
Nice conversation, very enjoyable.
I'm an old (77) car guy, very familiar with Jay and Donald. I used to wear a watch (By the way originated in WWI for officers in the trenches.) But as fascinating as the top grade mechanical watches are they are ridiculously expensive. So I have made do with the "21st century pocket watch" very nicely for some years now. Still the conversation is interesting, comparing different mechanical art works.
This was extremely fun. I didn't knew Jay was in to watches like this. I love his Iron Rangers in this environment as well,great stuff
The Lange&Söhne CEO is unfortunately not correct concerning the invention of the quartz watch.Way before the CEH in Switzerland developed the first quartz watch to be put on a wrist, the actual invention was made in USA by Joseph W. Horton and Warren Alvin Marrison at the New York Bell Laboratories
Good ol Jay Leno. He did his best - bless his heart. He got it exactly backwards describing the "ticking" of the second hand as the preferred mechanical watch and the "sweeping" of the second hand as the "cheap" watch. He tried - his hearts in the right place. Let's just hope A. Lange & Sohne isn't paying him.
Nice discussion. Danke.
Great discussion. I have small collection of watches, cars, books and instruments. I like the idea of being a temporary custodian of things permanency and quality. Anyway, hope to own a Lange one day!
WONDERFUL INSIGHTS THANK YOU
fingers crossed for a black dial saxonia annual calendar in 2024!
I wish this fashion for very large watches would end
18:51 I felt that Jay...
“It’s a watch you can wear on the weekends or around your children.“ (when you realize you’re not the intended audience.)

@@alangesoehne all nice pieces. i like the Zeitwerk Lumen
I still want them to answer the first question.
Wikipedia says, seiko Created quartz watch in 1969..
I'm just an old machinist. Thiis is too fancy for me.
I compare my watches with my keyboard instruments.
why am I here, I will never know..
at 19:50 Jay got it wrong
I Did Not See The Migrant Gardeners Mowing The Lawn or a Man with a Leaf Blower in The Window or Trimming The Hedges....I Guess It's All About Proper Timing.....
pretty much no one needs a watch these days, phone. so, wearing a watch is a style thing.
I was really interested in Lange's Odysseus, but have since become very disillusioned with the antics associated by the brand for this never available model in their attempt to emulate Patek and Rolex.
What a weird looking sofa!!!
It's not difficult to find out the correct pronunciation of words and names some people, especially Americans, just don't bother.
Lange, you have adopted pretensions beyond your stature. Take heed, lest you fade into irrelevancy as your existing clientele "age out".

as a 17 year old lange client, I can confirm this is absolute bs
Why did Jay agree to this boring segment? Don't agree to Donald's goofy ideas!
A great mix of personalities and a charming discussion
