I’ve always been a big fan of A. Lange & Söhne, but I’ve never taken the plunge and purchased one. It is one of the brands that I really like but it doesn’t seem to fit my style and my lifestyle, as I typically gravitate toward very sporty watches or watches that are fitted with a bracelet.

Over the last few years, I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about the categories that we put watches in. Doing what I do for a living, that feels pretty normal.
