Where to go from here? The Quadruple Split of course. With the added functionality of splitting the buyer's wallet upon purchase.
I’m pretty sure that this one already has that particular function covered.
Well this one is already a quadruple split, you'll probably have to split your wife with AD to buy one... ok choww
I actually LOL'd
@@giovannidivici we are everywhere.
Wallet? You mean Bank Account?
Thank you for the generous 5 extra minutes of pure eye candy
It's literally a computer with gears. Amazing engineering. And beautiful as well.
Miniscule gears. It's breathtaking.
“First of all...rude” hahahaha 🤣🤣🤣 I love it!
At this point A. Lange is just flexing on the holy trinity the uncrowned kings
In your dream. Patek has long integrated silicon hairspring and escarpment parts, Lange is still using Nivarox alloy form back in 1930...
@@yunlongwu8071 and their design and price is still garabe
yun wu I believe you mean silicon hairspring. Silicone wouldn’t be particularly effective.
@@Someothername2134 a Silicone hairspring? can you even read lol.. i guess these days people are having too many plastic surgeries
@@MonicaHolly143 what watches are you collecting then? I'm sure my Patek will hold its value better than most watches in your collection, but if you are a big time Rolex collector then yeah you are the best
For those of you fellow enthusiasts (re)watching this video later here are a few time stamps showcasing some feats of this watch. Enjoy!
0:20, 6:15, 8:28, hour split in close up
2:50, split hands catching up
4:06, 9:09, minute split in close up
5:20, both column wheels in view
6:26, (sort of) a full view of the movement

It took me quite some time to appreciate A Lange & Söhne. Now i am thinking about selling my entire collection for a double split.
Order a brochure. The macro pics will make you want to sell your house to buy a few of em.
@@geoffwatches :D Nice comment!
@@geoffwatches I'd sell my soul if I could find a buyer
@@Ridewithjst $10?
@@sidesauce He's at your local church, in plain sight!
Where to go now ? Easy : split date, for those patient enough to time simultaneous events lasting more than 24 hours. Like a one mile snail race, or a US presidential election.
LOL the last one had me in tears.
ROFL!
Ha!
add a perpetual calendar and split the month and year as well
9:18 - "Where is there to go from here?" - Elementary my dear Watson...Make a Tripple Split Zeitwerk.
I would sell my soul for it!
I was only just thinking that
@@ItsNeverTooHot4Leather I'm sure you're a good person - but for this watch your soul isn't enough.
Even a "Simple" Zeitwerk Chronograph would be incredible
@@ItsNeverTooHot4Leather you'd be in a long line of people trying to make that trade
He really is a Hand of his word
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👏🏼
Brilliant
'The peak of this channel'...
Gave me goosebumps.
Huge fan of A. Lange & Söhne.
Next level of Lange Chronograph - the Atom Split :P
It would be an explosive hit
Imagine dropping it while filming... Nice video, as always. A. Lange does not play in a different league, it's a different sport.
“The Thrice Diced Chronograph”.........that’s why I love this guy!
User 2389 thank for your opinion
User 2389 Believe me - the pleasure is all yours.
@User 2389 cRiNgY
The irony lol
User 2389 speak for those like you - not me.
User 2389 you are not talking to your mummy now keyboard warrior. Grow up and stop practicing your wrist action.
I don't even own a watch yet this is the fastest i have ever seen a notification and clicked to watch. Watchfinder...you are doing the world a great service. This channel is becoming sort of a "Natural History Museum" for watches. Documenting all these watches for posterity is a great service indeed
It’s unbelievable how humans can make something so perfect in the truest sense of the word. Literally flawless in every way. Insanely complex for the sake of being complex. Incredible.
My thoughts exactly, how is that level of perfection made by imperfect humans
The peak of watch making and the peak of content making, I can't start to express the emotions right now, literally goosebumps, good job guys. Really lucky to be a fan.
"How complicated is it?"
"It is enough to give even Christopher Nolan a headache" - watchfinder 2020
Now that was a treat (even better than the fudge bars, I brought home from work).... your footage, narration, writing...all first class, thank you.
Richard Mille when you make something like this, then you can justify your arbitrary prices!
11:55 It's like a mini Steampunk city inside a watch! What an incredible godly piece of engineering.
*steampunk
@@jlg395 Corrected thnx!
It’s referred to as the Micro City. This watch is incredible.
*ungodly
You actually made it happen, incredible. Just made my day!
Me: how much do i owe you for service?
AD: your first born child and your soul
seems to be a good deal ;)
AD: Yes
DIY and save a Kidney, leg and first born :)
AD: Njah thats a Problem... nobody is able to service it on this Planet, even Lange doesn't know how they put it together
I really cannot express how much I appreciate your filming. You have such an amazing eye to make these beautiful watches glow.
Please know that does not go unnoticed.
Thank you.
Great video. Thank you. Enjoyed the extra footage at the end. The finish on the dial and the polished architecture of the movement are mesmerizing.
The better the watch, the better the Watchfinder-video! Great!!! Thanks for the additional footage. Please do a video on the 1815 Rattrapante Honeygold "Homage to F.A. Lange" or on all three of the 175-year-jubilee edition.
The movement is hypnotic to look at. The layering, and intricacies are extraordinary.
This is the sport watch the Breguet and Daniels would have worn when meeting up for a chat and a drink down the pub - a watch they themselves would show off to the other guys at the bar , a watch that then should have by rights inspired the third guy at the bar - a certain young lad called FP Journe .
True story, but you missed Philippe Dufour behind the counter
@@kalamoj And John Harrison washing the windows.
And Hans wildorf looking through the window feeling left out
A.L&S is undoubtedly my favorite watchmaker. This triple split is out of this world. Thank you Watchfinder for presenting it to us.
The additional footage was delicious... thank you. Without question, these are them most exquisite videos ever produced. ...Barry
Where to go?
How about returning the split lap time to zero, with a third hand starting simultaneously?
That would replicate the function of the "three stop watches" method that was always used on race tracks.
One stopwatch is started at the start, and stopped at the end of the race. Two more watches are linked by a bar. Watch 2 is started simultaneously with watch 1. At the end of the first lap the bar is depressed, and watch 2 stops and watch 3 starts. The lap time is recorded from watch 2, and it is then reset normally. And so on....
The race time was also recorded per lap on the fly, as a back up.
Or of course, you could download a $10 app... but that's not exactly the point is it?
Indeed, whether this would be possible mechanically I don’t know, but if it were at least it would be useful. This triple split is of no use to anyone.
I see you are a TSD rally enthusiast as well.
Nobody needs a mechanical watch to take the time. Any digital garbage is more precise. But a painting is also more worth than a photograph, and every cheap phone makes more detailed pictures than any of the great painters. It is art! Art needs no practical use. Art is, because we can.
It's not only an engineering marvel but also a piece of art. The dial is cleaner and more beautiful than most of simple chronographs.
Fantastic! And kudos to A. Lange & Söhne for making it possible.
Your comments about the additional complication involved in adding even a single split reminded me of Ginger Rogers' comment on dancing with Fred Astaire: "I did everything he did, but backwards and in high heels."
I know that this is probably an overused statement but there is no better fit than here: THIS is German engineering at its absolute BEST!
Awesome that you finally got your hands on this amazing piece of art - thanks to the company itself! BIG THANKS & congrats to you as well as A. Lange & Söhne!
Both of you, keep up the great work - all the best from Germany!
Don't know if I've ever heard this level of hype and excitement in your voice!
Knew from the start this had to be a really, really big deal.
Lange is “the” member of The Holy Singularity.
I have always considered Lange to be the absolute best engineered watch in the world and this incredible model; reinforces my position!! Wonderful review!
Such a good video. All of the shots were mesmerizing. The reel at the end was an awesome addition!🔥😍
Hello Watchfinder Team - I wanted to thank you for including just the watch plus the music at the end of this video. As much as I love the stories you tell, there is something about just being able to watch everything move alongside the music that is very calming.
If you ever get the opportunity to do this in the future with other special watches, I'd really appreciate it. Or, perhaps you could create a version of your videos with just the music and the footage, linked as an unlisted video in the description.
The differnce between a watch seller (Rolex) and a watch maker.
Shots fired
Oh snap. I agree entirely though.
pretentious
I really can't understand why you can't appreciate both. I didn't know people loving watches were as immature as people hating on Samsung and Apple without seeing what both did for the industry.
I mean I love ALS as much as Rolex but for different reasons. I am mind blown by the workmanship in the ALS, just as I love seeing John Mayer showing an ultra rare 1953 ref6204 Sub on Talking Watches.
Both Brand have a huge importance in watchmaking in their own leagues. You won't find, with ALS, as much history as with Rolex. You won't find ALS finishing in Rolex movement.
Just love both brand for what they are and stand for. However, you are allowed to hate Hublot, I'll give that.
@@augusot4452 that last line though 😂
Amazing curtain call, and the watch deserves every split second of it.
Aha...!! I see what you did there..
Ok. Gotta Split...
( Sorry, I'll get my coat and let myself out...) *slinks away shamefully*
Incredible, what a masterpiece! And as ever, magnificently recorded to be enjoyed by our eyes and ears. Thank you
Mesmerising. I guess I will come back to this video several times in the near and distant future. Congratulations to those savvy enough that, having the purchasing power, will choose this masterpiece. And thanks for the bonus footage at the end!
The bonus footage at the end was great. They should just create stock footage of amazing watchrs on a loop for people to play in the background.
Ahh...that was so satisfying I had to watch it twice. I'm going to save it so I can enjoy it again later. What a watch and what a fabulous watch maker.
Possibly the most awaited WF clip of all time. "Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls" Finally... THIS is magical, mechanical engineering and execution.
I jumped from happiness when i saw this is on my feed! Wow what a smooth and elegant design! I love the fact chrono hands are all blue
I wonder how much parts it has
God I love the ALS design language. I'm perpetually in distress knowing I'll never be able to afford one unless I'm being completely irresponsible with my finances.
the first time I ever used youtube`s full screen function - great video
What determines the music/background choice for these videos? I like them both but I sometimes prefer the dark wood background too.
Thank you for bringing a smile to my face and tears to my eyes! :’)
The extra footage was much appreciated too!
I’m late to this video and really enjoyed it - what an amazing piece of engineering.
While I was watching, I couldn’t help thinking that this is a complicated and expensive answer to a question that nobody asked.
Of course, to a very large extent that applies to mechanical watches in general. While a lot of people enjoy them, there are other, more accurate, ways to tell the time.
It makes it even more amazing that a company would push the boundaries of mechanical watch movements, to come up with something like this.
Fantastic!
000 / 100 . The most exclusive review of the most complicated watch
Amazing video, your production is unmatched. Congratulations to everyone making this channel possible. Your kids must be proud.
It has become clear that Lange & Söhne is the best watchmaking company in the entire world.
A. Lange & Söhne is owned by the same company as Watchfinder & Co.
@@MultiCodecode we know
Pretty soon they'll be able to run Crysis. I just watched the walk through of A. Lange & Söhne on TheWatchestv again last night and they never fail to impress!
Wonder when Aventi will get its hands on a Chinese approximation of the movement.
Oh boy the end is a treat
What impresses me here is the amount of finishing seen under the microscope. It passed all scrutiny.
Under such intense magnification the thing is absolutely flawless. It has to been seen to be believed - so thanks for the additional 5mins straight of this visual feast of engineering and craftsmanship.
What’s mind blowing is every Lange is finished flawlessly, regardless of price. There’s really no other brand which comes close to Lange, except for some of the very high end independents (Kari Voutilainen comes to mind)
Although I like mostly the way you talk and present this fabulous time pieces, it a nice part at the end showcasing more the watch design!
I hope you will never retire from Watchfinder and I'll always listen to your videos!
There is no one explaining and having the passion in how you put things across.
No whatsoever doubt about the super ingenuity of the German watchmaker, A. Lange & Sohne!!
A landmark video. Well done guys you’ve done it again brilliant to watch! Thank you.
Without a doubt, ALS is at the top of every other watch manufacturer. Even at this magnification level its almost impossible to find any flaws.
Best video ever. All the references is perfect!
Every video is so stunning, perfect video homage to an amazing watch ❤️😊
Great video. Amazing piece.
Let me summarize this timepiece for everyone - this is the best timepiece created since the quarts crisis. One of the best timepiece ever made by any watchmaker. Where do we go from here, 🤔...... over to Mr. F.P!
Awesome Time Piece! Beautiful is an Understatement! Love it!! Multiple split times - so many uses! Awesome engineering! Throughly enjoyed the video! Thank You so very Much!! I want one!!
I don't even know if it's possible now, but in the same vein as "something special"... A Heritage Watch Manufactory Firmamentum review would be incredible.
Money wise too
we were waiting for this one! amazing work
"Once you have broken the threshold into the unknown.it becomes the known"
(Watchfinder & Co)
What a watch. Always appreciated ALS for their work. Fantastic presentation
Brilliant review. Well done!
Amazing. I had never seen this piece before until just now. Really really incredible engineering.
No specs in this video, just pure beauty and perfection. Thanks for sharing this piece of art - and I mean both the watch AND the video.
Now this was worth watching in 4K!
a truly beautiful piece of engineering! thanks for keeping your word watchfinder!!
I am not sure, what is more remarkable: the watch itself or the video. One of the best videos ever, and believe me I've seen thounsands , not just in horology. Lange, on the other hand is so under-rated brand among the collectors. This watch, together with many others, proved that A. Lange und Sohne is opposite. Keep doing good work.
The last 5 minutes are just straight therapeutic. Another amazing video!
A Lange & Sohne create & engineer the most incredible watches. I, unfortunately, am one of the many standing outside the shop with my nose pressed up against the glass dreaming of owning one. It's never going to happen unless great fortune is bestowed upon me undeservedly. I don't like window shopping but the pain of it is lessened hugely by the absolutely fantastic narration & language used in your clips accompanying the showing of said watch . Whoever you are, I hope they are paying you handsomely as you deserve it. Consistently interesting watch clips relaying additional information & history, all delivered in an interesting & entertaining way. Well done Sir!
This is one of the greatest masterpieces and it really is at the next level in haute horology. Like the macro shots... nice video 👍
Amazing video... quality words and surreal visuals. Proud of you people.
Incredible! And I REALLY love your channel!
I had the opportunity to handle and operate the double slit in the boutique near me. It is absolutely stunning. Looking at it with a loop was simply an experience I'll never forget.
The thumb man! Eager to see your review on Jaeger LeCoutre Gyrotourbillon series of watches.
And boy, what a treat to watch this video was. Amazing watch. Amazing presentation.
I’d like to find one of these on the beach while metal detecting.
All I ever find are beer can pull tabs.
Thats the dream my friend. The ultimate dream.
I would have a real hard time doing the right thing in that case! But, alas, no watch is worth my integrity.
To be clear by "the right thing" dont mean turn it over to the police so they can take it home. I mean actually find the fortunate/unfortunate owner who lost it. Plus, hopefully if they can afford to lose a watch like this they could afford a nice thank you gift watch!
Fabulous photography! Thank you for such a magnificent visual treat! I'm assuming that this watch is priced a bit higher than my Casio.
Next thing they will split the power reserve indicator, so that you know the difference before and after winding the watch. A gravitational wave detector will be thrown in as a bonus.
Truly amazing and of course wonderfully described, thank you
Rattrapante, double & then triple split- the chronograph saga ofALS. Truly the heights of haute horlogerie.
Absolutely brilliant. Thank you.
This will be the most watched video of Watchfinder
No, because it will only attract watch nerds, not the masses
@@Aryan-fo1ls he did say 'of Watchfinder', which I presume is already a pretty niche/technicality appreciating audience.
@@sushimshah2896 Woah. Three Indians(probably) in one thread! That doesn't happen a lot on this channel
@@Aryan-fo1ls 😂, yep
@@sushimshah2896 No, because the most watched videos on this channel are predominantly Rolex related, so not niche.
Wow. Truly truly exceptional. Thanks for sharing 👍
The watch of the miracles: it even provided us with a long, clean sample of the background song from 9:41 to 14:24!!! 😍😍😍
Certainly a beautiful watch! Thank you for sharing.
Wow thank you for making this video. Most viewers will never see this watch in person but this video is second to none! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
This is going to be hard to top! Incredible video as usual!
really dont mind if you guys made a series of montages for each of the watches. would love to play them on loop while working at home
