“…In the intricate world of Haute Horlogerie, where craftsmanship and artistry intertwine, “simplicity” often stands as one of the most elusive ideals to perfect. Yet, if there is one creation that encapsulates this very philosophy, it is none other than the SAXONIA THIN by A. Lange & Söhne, a masterpiece that embodies timeless grace in its most distilled form…”
Stripped down to the essence of time itself, the SAXONIA THIN harmoniously combines the brand’s in-house movement with the finest hand-finishing, presenting a timepiece that radiates pure sophistication. This year, A. Lange & Söhne unveils two remarkable limited editions: the SAXONIA THIN 750 HONEYGOLD® and the SAXONIA THIN 950 Platinum, each adorned with a highly polished onyx dial, a rare feature in the world of fine watchmaking. Limited to only 200 pieces per model worldwide, these watches stand as testaments to understated luxury and exclusivity.
The dial, adorned solely with slender hour markers and two elegant hands, exemplifies the beauty of less is more. Every detail is meticulously proportioned to achieve perfect visual harmony, be it the length of the hands, the curvature of the lugs, or the balanced relationship between thinness and poise. The designers at A. Lange & Söhne have refined every nuance, from the polished chamfers of the indices to the subtle light reflections across the case, creating a sense of lightness that transcends the wrist.
The onyx dial itself evokes a deep, meditative serenity. Its jet-black tone forms a striking contrast with the precious metals: the warm radiance of HONEYGOLD® and the cool majesty of 950 platinum. Paired with a lustrous black alligator leather strap, both versions of the SAXONIA THIN project a refined aura of sophistication.
Measuring 40 mm in diameter and just 6.2 mm thick, the SAXONIA THIN feels effortlessly sleek yet commanding. Beneath its minimal façade lies the manually wound L093.1 calibre, only 2.9 mm thick yet offering an impressive 72-hour power reserve, courtesy of its flat mainspring barrel, a triumph of German precision engineering. Completing the composition is the sapphire crystal caseback, a hallmark of A. Lange & Söhne’s pursuit of mechanical beauty and perfection.
Beyond being a luxury timepiece, the SAXONIA THIN is a meditation on balance and refinement. a creation where stillness meets precision, and simplicity becomes the truest expression of mastery. In every sense, it is a jewel of Haute Horlogerie destined to transcend time itself.
