Zeitwerk

That was the watch that made me sit up and think, “what…..is that?!”. Essentially a perfect watch.

Curious what practices were distasteful enough to part with this piece of art😳

Bundling. I am not a cuck so have 0 interest in playing games. :-)

I prefer this to their asymmetrical stuff, but that whole maternity t-shirt shape annoys me, not that I'm in their market anyway.

How much did u get it for and how much did u sell it for ? What did u get instead and what was the negative experience with the boutique ? Thanks for sharing ;)

You did what?👀

Love the 1815 family, but never seen the attraction of ALS’s other watches. https://www.alange-soehne.com/gb-en/timepieces/1815

Selling something this beautiful from a brand which is arguably better than Patek, Vacheron or any other brand is a wild choice. Hope you don't regret it.

I ordered an Armin Strom Mirrored Force Resonance and a Voutilainen Inverse. Both are objectively better !

Did they give you 150k € for that watch? That's what retailers ask for the pack you mention

Id wear it upside down… sheeesh that caseback 🥵

I wouldn't agree with that, horrendous looking artificially limited models. But everyone has to do what the like the most.👍

I love the Voutilainen Inverse, just one of a number of his watches that are truly exceptional. My favourite of his is the V-8R, a stunning, yet simple looking watch. Enjoy your Inverse, I'm sure it'll be an incredible watch to own & wear 👍

Srry whats bundling?

Amazing, both those watches !!!

One of my grails 🫠🥰🥰🥰

Love the case back, but the dial has a certain idiosyncracy about it. Fine art on the back, versus modern art on the front. Interesting package.

Where are you buying a Voutilainen Inverse? it’s a magnitude harder to buy a Voutilainen than an ALS, according to Cellini in NYC it’s a 3 year minimum wait for me who is a very good customer of theirs

ALS boutiques have lots of watches for sale, the only hard ones to buy are the steel ones. In my experience they are nothing like Rolex dealers....

Directly from voutilainen and yes there is a wait, mine is bespoke in tantalum and the newer movement. It doesn’t matter how “good” a customer you are which is why I like voutilainen. No bullshit or games. You just pay him and wait. He is very honest, just shoot him an email. No need to use an AD that adds 0 value anyways.

Btw that isn’t true about als, ALS was and still is trying to bundle to get specific watches like the Odysseus, honey gold lumen, etc.

You mean where they make you buy a lower level watch that you don't necessarily want in order to be granted the privilege of buying the one you do want?

Phenomenal watch...ALS definitely jumped the shark...

Yes exactly. I think it's just insulting to someone's intelligence which is why I will never from these brands new.

Definitely not fan of their practices these days...but still love their watches. How was your wearing experience of the Zeitwerk when you had it?

It was good. I wore it pretty much nonstop for about a year. IMO the stock strap is too thin though, it would do well with a thicker/more padded strap as it's a thicker watch. Balances it out a bit more and wears better I think.

What a mechanic

What a complication

I am officially love in it!
