The Saxonia Thin is now offered in either a 37 or 40mm case. |
The thinnest A. Lange & Söhne timepiece so far distills
the key facets of a Lange watch within a height of just 5.9mm. After its launch
in January 2016, the rose- or white-gold Saxonia Thin is now available in two
sizes.

In 2011, A. Lange & Söhne presented the Saxonia Thin,
enriching the Saxonia family with a model that perpetuates the traditional
characteristics of its lineage with lucid sleekness and radiant elegance.
Additionally, it is the thinnest model of the entire collection so far.
Five years after its debut, the graceful two-hand watch now
presents itself anew with a subtly re-worked dial that reflects the current
design of the Saxonia timepiece family. In comparison with the predecessor
model, the baton-style hour markers in solid gold have been slightly extended
and moved closer to the bezel. This gives the argenté-coloured solid-silver
dial extra prominence.
The new Saxonia Thin was originally unveiled at the SIHH in
Geneva in January 2016. Now it is available through retailers in rose and white
gold, with a case diameter of either 37 or 40mm.
Both versions are powered by the manually wound caliber
L093.1 movement which is a scant 2.9mm thick and features the Lange-typical
finissage of all parts. Its classic quality hallmarks include the German-silver
three-quarter plate decorated with Glashütte ribbing, solarized winding-train
wheels, three screwed gold chatons and a hand-engraved balance cock.
