Lange's Excellent Customer Service.

As some of you may already know from my previous post, i had purchased my first Lange form the NYC boutique 10 days ago and unfortunately received a piece that had some problems. Upon informing the boutique, the manager Emong who was beyond helpful during my visit offered a replacement right away without even asking me to bring the watch in for inspection. That alone was enough to satisfy me.
However, since i had flown from Toronto to NYC solely for the purpose of picking up this watch, Emong said she'd talk to the brand president to see what can be done. The very next day i received a call informing me that a new sealed piece is being shipped to Richemont Canada where someone from the company would contact me and exchange the watch. One thing to take note of here is that Lange in the US is not related to any of Lange operations in Canada- different accounts and allotments and both receive their watches straight from Germany. So, what basically happened is the brand president in the US, Silvia Juarez, managed to get Germany and the logistic teams in both countries involved to perform the replacement.
All this for a first time Lange customer who bought their "cheapest" model. I'm mind-blown.
The level of professionalism, respect and commitment i have experienced from Emong is top notch. Its nothing like I've ever experienced from any other brand- certainly not Patek. On top of that, the fact that the brand president for the US personally got involved to have the replacement delivered to me is not a cherry on top of the cake but a whole new cake. All this was done in a week.
I am a Lange loyalist for life.
Needless to say, the new piece is perfect! here are some pics:
P.S.: i've also received a new strap in honey brown and one of those gorgeous wooden, hand carved, Lange loupes the day i visited the boutique.
