With its design reduced to the essence and a slender, artisanally finished manufacture movement, the A. Lange & Söhne SAXONIA THIN radiates pure elegance.
The SAXONIA THIN embodies A. Lange & Söhne’s philosophy of distilled elegance. Stripped to its essentials, the design focuses solely on the passage of hours and minutes, expressed through two gracefully slender hands and refined baton appliqués.
Every element is the product of meticulous proportion and balance. Collectors will appreciate the subtle mastery at play: the carefully considered length and curvature of the hands, the polished facets of each appliqué, and the understated sophistication of the three-part case. Together, these details create a timepiece defined by purity, harmony, and an unmistakable lightness that elevates the SAXONIA THIN to a true connoisseur’s piece.
The new SAXONIA THIN models are distinguished by a striking onyx dial, a detail that lends the watch an aura of rare refinement. Seldom seen in haute horlogerie, the gemstone captivates with its deep, mirror-like black surface, imbuing the design with a timeless gravitas.
In the 750 honey-gold edition, the glossy darkness harmonises with the warm glow of the metal, enhancing its quiet richness. In contrast, the 950 platinum version plays on opposition: the cool brilliance of the case sets off the dial’s depth, allowing the hands and appliqués to emerge with exceptional clarity and presence.
The character of the SAXONIA THIN rests on the enduring principle of “less is more.” Its identity is defined by a remarkably slender case—just 6.2 millimetres high—crafted in either A. Lange & Söhne’s exclusive honey gold or noble 950 platinum, with a balanced 40-millimetre diameter. The gently curved lugs ensure the watch sits securely and comfortably on the wrist, sliding effortlessly beneath a shirt cuff with understated ease.
A glossy black alligator leather strap underscores the elegance of these two special editions. Whether at a boardroom table or an evening engagement, the SAXONIA THIN conveys a quiet assurance of style that resonates with collectors who value refinement through restraint.
As is the case with every Lange timepiece, the SAXONIA THIN is equipped with a dedicated manufacture movement crafted in-house: the manually wound movement, finished to the highest standards of Lange’s watchmaking artistry, can be admired through the sapphire-crystal caseback. The technical particularities of the manufacture calibre L093.1 with a height of merely 2.9 millimetres include a flat mainspring barrel: despite its compact architecture, it boasts a maximum power reserve of 72 hours.
“The proportion between crown wheel and ratchet wheel, the prominent shape of the stop-click spring, the arched lines of the three-quarter plate, the size of the flat-polished end-piece, even the position of the blued screws around the gold chatons are meticulously harmonised with a view to mechanics as well as to the aesthetic overall impression. With their combination of gold, ruby red and cornflower blue, the three screwed gold chatons additionally provide a striking colourful accent.”
