That and they're relatively new. They don't have 100+ years of a rich history.

Seems if the quest is quality and value, it doesn't really matter how long they've been open.

I mean, TAG should be the poster child for this, no?

Seems pretty hypocritical at best from you Farmer.

Quality is a pre-req, not a differentiator.

To me, these new brands that get common movements and throw it in cases we've all seen before don't provide much value. Sure, it tells the time, but so does my microwave.

Give me something interesting, something with a story, something unique, something complicated.

Just say what you mean.

Something expensive and exclusive.

Doesn't have to be expensive. Nomos is one of my favorite brands. They're extremely affordable.

Don't be boring.

Sorry, they don't have any dive watches for you.

Do they come with a matching pocket protector?

I didn't realize taking a pocket watch and putting a band on it was innovative.

If you think they're so great, why are they considered one of the watch brands with the worst resale value?

---

Should I respond or let you keep editing and adding more silliness?

No pocket protector, but they sell a really neat sundial and other accessories. You should check it out.

What is innovative is they are an independent watchmaker that does almost everything in-house. Their calibre design & manufacturing almost all take place in one little town.

While I would appreciate a high resale value, what is important to me in a watch isn't what is important to everyone else. I'm comfortable with that.

Geez,...I'm going to agree with Farmer as 5 years does sound pretty "Johnny come lately."

---

The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago. The second best time is today.

Well at least we got a little bit of action on the thread today.

Can't we all just get along? We do not have to agree on a brand.

My wrist my choice!!!!!!!

You CW *******s made me buy one for my birthday. Bunch of jerks!

My microwave has GMT capability. I now know what time my Totino's Pizza Rolls are being heated in Naples, Italy, where they were invented.

Like all the great discussion on this forum. All watches have a personal reason. Last I read, Lange only puts out ~ 5,500 watches a year.

To me:

Lange 1, pink gold for formal/suit time. I like the contrast on the dial with the Roman numerals, hands, etc. Can dress down with other strap. Yellow gold is challenge to get. White gold - stuff on the dial seems to wash out. Do not care for the dark blue dial.

Saxonia with a date.

1815 up/down.

Took a year to get the Odysseus. It is their first sport watch. Love it and wears really well. I chose this one because I prefer straps over bracelets. It adds cool versatility.
