WatchBox Studios and I were pretty busy during Dubai Watch Week 2021 recording two highly informative and fun conversations. I posted the first one a couple of weeks ago: Tim Mosso Of Watchbox And Elizabeth Doerr Discuss Watch Journalism In The Digital Age And Other Hot Topics (Video). In that video, Tim Mosso and I discuss how journalists have had to change up their routines, get access to people and watches, and navigate the somewhat strange waters of the digital – and Covid-19 – era in addition to our favorite topic (independent watchmaking) and other current events in the watch world.
L-R: Elizabeth Doerr, Michael Hickcox, Alp Sever, and Mike Manjos discussing A. Lange & Söhne for WatchBox Studios at Dubai Watch Week 2021
In addition to that great talk, I also had the absolute honor to join Alp Sever of Langepedia (a WatchBox-backed platform), collector and friend Michael Hickcox, and WatchBox’s Mike Manjos in discussing A. Lange & Söhne in some depth, examining the German brand’s history and its extraordinary rebirth in the 1990s.
We explore the brand’s most famous models, including the Lange 1, Datograph, and Zeitwerk, and we consider the general horological contributions of A. Lange & Söhne – mainly in terms of how the brand elevated watchmaking worldwide in the 1990s, a popular opinion among connoisseurs.
Another fun, fast-paced talk, this one is chock-full of things we bet you never knew before. Happy viewing!

Lange has very impressive finishing by modern mass production standards, but does not inspire as much emotion in me as vintage Patek,
I like to say that this is why we have so many brands: everyone has different taste! I personally find more joy in Lange than most other brands.
