SJX Podcast: In Conversation with Anthony de Haas

In episode 56 of the SJX Podcast, Brandon Moore of SJX speaks with Anthony de Haas, the longtime head of product development at A. Lange & Söhne, about the thinking behind the brand's watches. The starting point is the Datograph Perpetual, which takes a familiar model in an unexpected direction with a platinum bracelet and discreet diamond indices. De Haas explains how Lange keeps the character of a small manufacture within Richemont, an approach that has earned it the reputation of being the biggest independent. The discussion also covers collaborative watchmaking in Glashütte, the growing attention paid to finishing, and why collector enthusiasm won't necessarily lead to more watches or more bracelets.
