do you all think Glashutte Original will start to get more popular or will it stay the poorer cousin of Lange?

I think this is a hard question to answer. All depend on the company marketing strategy.....................;)

I also saw some brands were popular but getting not so down the year.

Lange's popularity is 2-fold. People who appreciate it's style, history, technicality and people who appreciate simply because it is an ALS and for the prices they command (these are like people who buy rolex simply for the brand but they are higher up the curve).

For GO to get "more popular" or emerge against ALS is an uphill task. Try to go more upmarket and it could get the type of flak like IWC and omega if the product does not justify the pricing. Even if the product matches up pricing, it will need to outdo the expected comparisons with ALS, which is very tough.

I suspect the luxury watch industry is such that most players are happy with the unspoken "equilibrium" and "ranking" within. More so for german/glashutte brands which is a more niched market.

The only possibility I can think of is if the GO senator somehow achieves cult status through a fragment of pop culture that is entirely incidental and unplanned for.
