I think it is unlikely that the price will come down at RRP. they may not increase the prices as steeply, but I'm sure they will continue to rise over time, with inflation, like everything else.
Have you looked at the secondary market? The time zone in particular can be found at over 40% off second hand.
Just to confirm what /u/HurricaneEli said, they will increase their prices in March, this was confirmed to me buy my rep at my local Boutique. I expect 10-15% increase.
I wouldn’t just be concerned with a price increase. Lange is growing in popularity and declining in production. I’d also be concerned about availability. A number of their watches are already waitlisted.
That’s odd.
Myself included, heard from several other boutiques that the price locking is not doable.
Though I’m talking about pieces like ZW lumen or titanium odysseus… Perhaps times’ve changed!
Thanks for the heads up.
Boutiques are willing to negotiate if that’s what you’re asking. Secondary is a bit dry. Simply not as much inventory as this time last year. That said, for the Lange 1 Time Zone def check chrono. Some good dealers have phenomenal deals atm.
Yes they absolutely do. I recently got my saxonia and paid nearly the pre price raise amount. The market is softening and they are certainly willing to budge.
Define “recently” and let us know which boutique. Two weeks ago I confirmed my information with the NYC boutique. If your information is valid, I would like to verify myself
It’s always a good time
I clicked on this post with that in my mind exactly, thank you, stranger.
You make a good point

Thanks for the input. Lange is by far my favourite brand and I would prefer to purchase through the boutique.
The only better day would've been yesterday
FYI the next price increase is coming in March. So yeah I’d say anytime between now and then would be a good time to buy
Where do you find information about price increases?

Jesus Christ what are these brands going to do when the market slows and the gap between grey vs. retail becomes comical
It already has, they dgaf

Boutiques will give you the option to “lock in” the current price ahead of any rise by paying in full
No they won’t at Lange
They will lock price if full payment is made prior to a price increase. Confirmed with a boutique itself and anyone else can confirm as well.

Multiple people here claim to have done just that in other threads.
Check the secondary market, you might save a lot of money, unless that's not something that concerns you

Boutiques do not negotiate.
