Or simply ALS lol

i don't think its simply ALS..it should be lange...ALS is actually something to do with lou-gehrig disease, if u go ang mo country ask for ALS they will link it to the disease.

Just like how "seize the day" is "carpe diem" never its short form "STD".

How should A Lange & Sohne be pronounced?

And what's the meaning of Glashutte?

from wiki:
A. Lange & Söhne is approximately pronounced [ah LANG-eh unt ZURN-neh]. Where the Umlaut "ö" is not available, it is rendered as a digraph by German convention ("Soehne"), but often as "Sohne" internationally (even though that would imply a different pronunciation in German).

glashutte is the place it's from. its in germany. from the free state of saxony, which is one of its models which i think is called saxonia

Hello everyone, my very first post in HWZ here. I went through a couple of old chaps of the watch thread and finally gave up trying to read everything. haha.

I'm unable to post any links due insufficient post count.. I've been eyeing the Nomos tangente datum ganreserve for a while now but I have some concerns.

The diameter of the watch is only 35mm but im more used to wearing 42mm and above. Really interested in getting the watch online but I wanna know how it wears on my wrist and sucks that there's no Nomos AD in SG.

I know it's kinda weird but if any bro out there with the tangente can let me try on your watch, pls pls pls pm me. I'll make sure that it's at your convenience. Thanks!!
