Lange und Söhne Saxonia Thin – a Future Classic

Last year A. Lange & Söhne restyled the Saxonia collection and introduced the all new Saxonia Thin. The thinnest Lange & Söhne ever, measuring just 5.9 mm in height. This year the pink gold Saxonia Thin gets a white gold sibling.
Classic, beautiful and typical Lange & Söhne style, however thin… While Lange & Söhne is well known for their robust movements like those in the Double Split and Datograph, an extra thin movement is something that is slightly out of the ordinary for this German manufacture.



The slim case measures 40 mm in diameter and just 5.9 mm in height. While it remains relatively classic proportions, the diameter of 40 mm gives the watch a certain presence on the wrist. The dial is very balanced, featuring nothing more than thin baton hour markers and a small dot next to it. Printed on the solid silver argenté dial is the name A. Lange & Söhne, the location, Glashütte I/SA, and ‘made in germany’ at the 6 o’clock position. The two sleek lancet-shaped hands indicate the hours and minutes.



The round three-part case has a polished tapered bezel, polished lugs and brush finished mid case. The case-back is partially polished and brushed with engraving around the sapphire crystal. Embossed on the crown is the A Lange & Söhne name.
Especially for the thinnest Lange & Söhne ever, they created a new movement, caliber L093.1. The movement has a diameter of 28 mm and is just 2.9 mm thick, or should I say thin. Lange & Söhne isn’t known for thin watches, but for extremely beautiful and robust movements, which are build to last. To accomplish their level of reliability, all new movements are subject to an entire range of endurance tests devised by the manufactory’s test laboratories. The new caliber L093.1 of course passed them.



The movement features like all Lange & Söhne movements, a superb level of finish. The German-silver three-quarter plate with Glashütte ribbing (a variation on Geneva stripes / Côte de Genève) as well as chamfered and polished edges. The gold chatons are secured with thermally blued screws and the wheels are sunray finished. The escapement bears the typical Lange & Söhne signature: the free-hand engraving on the balance cock.
The movement beats with a frequency of 21,600 semi-oscillations per hour and has a power reserve of 72 hours.
In terms of reliability, robustness and beauty, Lange & Söhne created something outstanding with the new Saxonia Thin. It has the looks of a classic and if it lives up to the longevity we known Lange & Söhne for, than you (and the next generation) will enjoy the Saxonia Thin. With the ingredients (40 mm in diameter, classic and well balanced dial, thin but robust movement, 72 hours of power reserve) I think A. Lange & Söhne created a magnificent dress watch and a future classic!

All The A. Lange & Sohne Lange 1 Watches



Since its birth in 1994 the A. Lange & Sohne Lange 1 watch has been the brand's most iconic watch. A real gamble at the time, it proved to be a very successful design. You can also thank it for the "big date" complication - that they refer to as an "outsized date." Here is a nice picture from A. Lange & Sohne with the complete family of all the Lange 1 watches to date. I thought it was a nice way to reflect on the collection. Below you will find a spec chart that discusses each of the models and when they were released. Click on the above or below images to make them larger.

A. LANGE & SÖHNE - Lange on the Rocks - Part 1: New models 2012

Timepieces from A. Lange & Söhne on rocks and minerals from Saxony provide a reminder of the origins of the Federal State’s wealth and culture.

Press release



A long way below the Ore Mountains – the homeland of A. Lange & Söhne – hidden treasures await discovery. At present geologists are exploring probably one of the largest tin deposits in the world. As early as the Middle Ages enormous silver finds triggered the “First Mining Rumours” – the first silver fever – in the Federal State. The Earth’s treasures formed the basis of an unprecedented cultural and scientific period of blossoming and also the wealth of the Saxon Sovreign Electors (Kurfürsten). Major innovations such as the discovery of European porcelain in Meißen and masterpieces of craftsmanship occurred in this period such as those which can still be admired today in the “Green Vault” of the Dresden Royal Palace. The Saxon precision watchmaking industry of the 18th century also has its roots in this development.

Amongst the many famous Dresden watchmakers of that period, there was one who stands out because of his forward-looking thoughts and actions: it is Ferdinand A. Lange, who brings watchmaking to the Ore Mountains in 1845. This was a time when the silver mines in the Eastern Ore Mountains had long been abandonned and the people were suffering from poverty and hunger. With his visionary concept of a new line of business he laid the foundations for the second economic boom in the region. The circle closes here.

The attractive combination of timepieces from the current collection of A. Lange & Söhne and rocks and minerals from the Ore Mountains links the origins of wealth and culture in the Middle Ages to the modern Saxon precision watchmaking of the 21st century. The subjects originate from the geological collections of the Technical University of the Saxon mining town of Freiberg. With the “terra mineralia” in the Freudenstein Castle Museum it possesses the largest and most beautiful exhibition of minerals in Germany with more than 3,500 minerals, precious stones and meteorites since 2008. Numerous works of art of the Saxon Court were created during previous centuries by talented craftsmen from these and other rocks and minerals originating from the Ore Mountains.



LANGE 1 TOURBILLON PERPETUAL CALENDAR on serpentinite



The LANGE 1 TOURBILLON PERPETUAL CALENDAR, launched in January 2012, combines two classic complications in the expressive LANGE 1 design: a perpetual calendar and a tourbillon with patented stop seconds.

The serpentinite from Zöblitz in the Ore Mountains is characterised by snake-like patterns and interesting shades of colour ranging from black to green to red. A large number of works of art made of garnet serpentinite from Zöblitz, which contains black garnet inclusions, were created for the court of Saxon Sovreign Electors from the 16th to 19th century.



LANGE 1 TIME ZONE on agate



With an innovative home and time zone display as well as a city ring the LANGE 1 TIME ZONE is the perfect companion for frequent flyers and cosmopolitans.

Agate has been appreciated since ancient times as a semi-precious stone. There are significant deposits only a few kilometres from the Lange manufactory, which had already been discovered at the beginning of the 18th century. They have a special feature: the stone has been crushed through movements in the Earth’s crust and is therefore described as ruin agate.



DATOGRAPH UP/DOWN on topaz



The DATOGRAPH UP/DOWN in a platinum case enlarged to a diameter of 41 millimetres offers a power reserve extended to 60 hours, which is clearly displayed by the UP/DOWN indicator at 6 o’clock.

Topaz from the Ore Mountains is sometimes also described as a “Saxon diamond”, as it sparkles so much when smoothed. Stones with topaz were discovered in Altenberg close to Glashütte when excavating for tin in the 1960s and they are the only ones in the world in this size and formation. However, they are not suitable for making jewellery because of the numerous cracks.



GRAND LANGE 1 on zinnwaldite



Elegant proportions characterise the appearance of the GRAND LANGE 1, which was presented for the first time in January 2012 with altered dimensions and a new inner life.

The shiny, silvery zinnwaldite contains lithium, which is used in a variety of ways in modern technology. Once again searches are underway for this raw material in the Ore Mountains. Lithium has the lowest density of the solid elements. The zinnwaldite which was formed during a magmatic phase is surrounded by light feldspar.



SAXONIA THIN on zinnwaldite



With a height of only 5.9 millimetres, the SAXONIA THIN is the thinnest watch ever crafted by the traditional Saxon watchmaker. It has also been available in white gold since 2012.

The SAXONIA THIN was also photographed on zinnwaldite.
