“Made in Saxony” Is the Message of the New SAXONIA Models
With subtle design modifications, A. Lange & Söhne has given the watches of its elegant SAXONIA collection an even more lucid and contemporary face. During the process, the SAXONIA AUTOMATIC was endowed not only with a larger and slimmer case but also with a newly developed self-winding movement. The cultivated elegance and impressive intrinsic values leveraged by the latest-generation SAXONIA models pay tribute to the grand tradition of Saxon watchmaking artistry.
From the very beginning, Lange conceived the SAXONIA as an expression of its kinship with Saxony. The watch symbolises the allegiance of Ferdinand A. Lange, the founder of the German precision watchmaking industry, with his homeland. As emphatically understated as it may seem, it embodies typically Saxon values such as straightforwardness, modesty, and creativity. In particular, the last of these three traits is reflected in the numerous inventions for which Saxons can take credit. In the 19 century, they transformed their state into Germany’s most trend-setting and innovative economic area. It is during this epoch that the A. Lange & Söhne brand established by Ferdinand A. Lange in 1845 became a synonym for luxurious precision pocket watches from Saxony. The tradition that he founded now lives on in the third generation of timepieces that bear the SAXONIA signature.
Down to the very last detail, the SAXONIA AUTOMATIC transports the heritage of Saxon precision watchmaking into the present day. The all-new Lange manufacture calibre L086.1 is the third self-winding movement presented by the Saxon master watchmakers. Suspended in ball bearings, a central rotor with a centrifugal mass made of 950 platinum assures that the maximum power reserve of 72 hours is quickly available on the wrist. The underlying design emphasises a flat silhouette: The movement is a mere 3.7 millimetres thick. In contrast to their predecessors, the white and pink gold cases of the SAXONIA AUTOMATIC have grown to a diameter of 38.5 millimetres. At the same time, the watches are now noticeably thinner, measuring only 7.8 millimetres in overall height. The new proportions underscore the elegance of the models and make them even more comfortable to wear. Thanks to the gently chamfered bezel, the solid-silver argenté dial looks larger than ever, showcasing the slender baton hour markers, solid-gold lancet hands, and the concisely graduated minute scale. All the intricacies of the flawlessly finished and twice-assembled self-winding movement are revealed by the sapphire-crystal caseback of the watch.
The manually wound SAXONIA with the reliable manufacture calibre L941.1 also reflects the new design vocabulary. It features all of the quality facets that ennoble every member of the refined SAXONIA family. Its case and dial project the new, elegant styling as well. The watch is available in 18-carat yellow, pink, or white gold and has a diameter of 37.0 millimetres. The separately applied hour markers and the lancet hands are made of the same gold alloy.
