Interested to hear your thoughts about where these two brands stand in relation to eachother. They both make stunning watches. Is one more desirable than the other in terms of craftmanship, movement, and reliability?
Oops, senior moment.... D'Oh!!!!!great points but zenith is part of lv group with tag.
i met a gentleman at a high end ad in baltimore who stated rather candidly that go is an a lange & sohne wannabe and owes its success to marketing the glashutte local name.
LVMH Luxury Group owns Zenith and the Swatch Group owns GO.Thanks to all for your helpful comments. So if LV group is Zeniths "parent." Does GO have a parent, or is it independent?
v76 - thank you for your highly informative post! And Watchbreath, thanks for weiging in.
What are the main differences between AL&S and GO? From the Langes and GO's I have seen, many of their dials look very similar.great points but zenith is part of lv group with tag.

and there in lies the point. those dials were conceived by the designers at a lange that creates their pieces in glashutte, germany. a lange creates manual wind movements while go's are generally automatics.What are the main differences between AL&S and GO?

+1 :-!I am partial to GO's, but do not have one. Zenith I respect, I do not care for their designs so much. I would not kick a GO out of bed...
I was almost sure GO website said founded in the 1800s. You can't mean 1994?GO was a german watch company founded in 94 that almost went bankrupt, when Swatch bought them. Zenith has a big jump over GO on history, I would take the Zenith, but would also take a GO if price was right!!!
