Remember that Casio you had at school that went “beep” on the hour, every hour? No, I couldn’t figure out how to get it to shut up, either. As for a watch that you wouldn’t want to silence, I give you the A. Lange & Söhne Zeitwerk Striking Time-and it’s a watch fit to annoy a king.

Digital watch, but mechanical. Analogue vs digital is solely in the readout. Analogue is continuous, digital only displays specific characters (ie, digits, hence digital).

Comparatively, if one bought this watch, which is $92,000.00 - $120,000.00, one's annual wages would have to be $920,000.00 to $1,200,000.00. That's who it is meant for.

That’s a good point, plus there’d only be one so it would be impossible to be in a series of watches where they manufactured more than one. If it were in any it would probably be one made for the Only Watch auction or something similar. Very good and reasonable point Paul, I can’t believe how foolish we were to genuinely believe that they were real. It’s a good thing you said something. You absolute hero.

A.Lange Söhne design language and ability to advance the artistry of watchmaking is inspiring. They could have recess the gong into the case, but they managed to put it on display and not distracts the clean design. I would say they are the best of the best.

A.Lange & Sohne make their watches on microscopic level perfection. Not enough credited in the sea of swiss brands, but probably the best watchmaker in industry.
Your videos and commentary along with it is just brilliant. I want you to make a video of all of my wrist and pocketwatches and I'll probably sell not one of them ever again. Well done. BTW the Zeitwerk is spectacular.
The Zeitwerk is incredible, one of the most beautiful and compelling watches I have ever seen. Off topic, I know, but I would also ask critics of the Lange Odysseus to reconsider it from a fresh point of view. It is an elegant and deceptively simple watch, and if you feel that the bracelet is not quite right, please sleep on it for a little while, let it sink in, let the beauty of it possess you, and I hope you might come to understand why it works so well. I was a bit put off by it at first, but the more I looked at it, the more I loved it. Just give it some time. Yeah, it's overpriced, surely, but aren't they all?

I reckon the Odysseus is a slow burner; something I said when it first came out. I myself, wasn't all that keen on it. There were a lot of accusations of copying other brands which I did not understand because there was not one single design element that wasn't Lange's own. Now I see people in various comments looking at it and starting to change their minds about it. So, I'll say it again: the Odysseus is a slow burner and in a couple of years time it will become a hot model. As much as a 200 piece per year watch with an already long waiting list can be considered hot.

The Odysseus is absolutely a slow-burner, and completely Lange to its core. At first, a lot of people were saying, this doesn't even look like a Lange, but I completely see the company's design language at work. How could one not? I think this model will become absolutely hot before too long.

Great video, I enjoyed it and thanks. A. Lange and Sohne is a fantastic brand with notable complications such as double split, triple split. and Lange31. In my opinion the only watch in the Zeitwerk family is better than the striking time is the Zeitwerk minute repeater. It is great if you can do a review of the Zeitwerk minute repeater. .

I love the Zeitwerk. With the complications of having a remontoir and air brakes to make it work properly... But this, with even a repeater... They're crazy😱
I love the narration on these videos, it really adds another level of quality
I adore traditional chiming time pieces.
A brilliantly designed watch, one of the best for sure. I wish it was transparent so you could see all the amazing complexity. It would also be fantastic to have a big transparent one so you can understand the cleverness.
I love this video. Great idea. Not every watch has a unique story, hell, not all watchmakers have interesting history either. Some of them might be old and make reliable products, but the history itself probably isn't that interesting. For the few that do, it's nice that we get to know about them. I would love to see more videos like this!
Gorgeous timepiece, love the chimes! A bit reminds me to the jump-watches of the '70s, but those mostly had inferior pin-lever movements...
Thanks for this video! I’ve been looking at this for some time!
Super Grail. That is all. Just fascinating. Would love a review on the date one.
Like every other video on this channel i absulutely loved it. I also would like to see a Video about the HM7 Aquapod.

@6:13 "...to count the 4 extra parts." One could argue the extra button on the side could count, as it is seen from the front and the back. Details, i know, but for a guy with OCD like me, well i just had to write this hehe. Stunning watch, and a brilliant presentation, as always, by the hands-guy with the smooth voice. Oh and @6:29 "...hiding them away in that sliver of extra space like fervent squirrels." Really nice to hear such original and fresh metaphors! You sometimes remind me of Jeremy Clarkson, who also used umm lets say 'unusual' ways of describing the cars he was reviewing. It shows you put real effort into making these videos!

@@ShadowPoet My comment is specific to the four fasters holding the resonance bars / gongs on the watch face. For the remainder of the movement that are not on the face fastener alignment is not important. For a watch of this calibre and price and as a AL&S customer, it has to be perfect. Aligning the fasteners is not rocket science. For example just look at any OP Royal Oak bezel. Not my cup of tea but the method of using fasteners is designed to be aligned on the part seen most often by the user. If you still think that is absurd and disrespectful than each to their own.

Kind regards
One of the best episodes so far. Keep on the good work!
Very interesting that you film your hand gestures without actually speaking. I wonder if you do the VO first and then film yourself holding it with some hand gestures and cut it up to fit. Nicely done video and story. A dream watch for sure.

Woahh😱 the ALS Zeitwerk very cool and the up-close view of the movement it's fascinating.. You know well the history of the Big size date window from the brand and it's association with the Dresden Opera House 👌...

Well, that's quite something. And what a beautifully structured narrative.
I’m not a big fan of digital timepieces but this is in a class by itself. I would definitely wear one. Also, those Casios that you mention. The part I actually used to like about the first ones to come out was the hour and half hour time signal. And they were loud. Could be heard across a noisy room. I stopped wearing them when Casio turned down the volume and did away with the half hour signal. When they took that away it was just a boring watch. Keep these great videos coming.
You should make a video about the complete history and variations of the Royal Oak. I don't particularly like that watch but I understand it's significance, I have seen it pop up in some videos but the very video explaining the history and merits and consequences of it, I have missed.
The mechanism inside has a rythm that makes me think of a heart, and as such, this watch is alive.
