Talking Watches: Christian Bangert, Collecting For The Love Of The Game

In the video, Ben and Christian chat over a wide array of watches, including a two-tone Rolex Submariner 16803, a Rolex Sea-Dweller 126600 “Esprit de la Mer”, an A. Lange & Sohne Lange 1 time Zone in yellow gold, a Ressence Type 3 S, an MB&F Split Escapement (ruthenium/white gold), an Urwerk 100V P.02, and an UR 101 T-Rex. 

But we’re only getting started… up next, the two chat about the interesting and closely tied history of a pair of Roger Dubuis chronographs, then dive into a look at Christian’s impressive collection of independent pieces, including Holthinrichs Raw Bronze and Signature Ornamen, a piece unique Terra from Stefan Ketelaars, a pair of hand-made Origin Series from James Lamb, a Florent Lecomte Series 2 Prototype, a Maitres Du Temps Chapter 3 Piece Unique (with a hand painted dial featuring Buzz Aldrin by Andre Martinez). 

Finally, they close on Christian’s close connection with Simon Brette, which includes a pair of Chronomètre Artisans, one of which is the first-ever example from the original Souscription Series.
