Last week was a big one for A. Lange & Soehne, which celebrated 25 years since its introduction to the world with an entirely new line to drive it towards the 50-year mark. No matter what you think of the new Odysseus—or frankly, any watch from the Saxony-based manufacturer—Lange waches are made with the absolutely highest quality of any series-made watch. Period.
Over the past few years, I've noticed a small, but growing and exceptionally dedicated, group of young collectors paying attention to special Lange 1 watches. The Lange 1 is Lange. It is, as I've said many times, one of the only true icons of horology introduced in the last quarter-century. It is, as I've also said many times, the watch I'd be wearing every single day if, well, I weren't me but an alternative version of me working in a more traditional field.
