Hands-on With the 2016 edition of the New A. Lange & Sohne Saxonia Thin Replica Watch

This 2016 edition of the SIHH has been very productive for A. Lange & Sohne replica watch. We’ve seen the stunning Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon, the poetical and kind of magical Grand Lange 1 Moon Phase Lumen, the very elegant and balanced Saxonia Moon Phase or the highly technical Richard Lange Jumping Seconds. Clearly, the Saxonian Manufacture didn’t disappoint this year. Besides these proper novelties, there was also an update of an existing watch introduced, a watch that may not be the most coveted creation of Lange but one that really has a charm and a discrete elegance, the A. Lange & Sohne Saxonia Thin replica watch, which now features a new face.

The evolution offered on the A. Lange & Sohne Saxonia Thin replica watch is only focused on the dial. The rest – case, movement, hands, crown, lugs… – remains identical, and we’re not going to complain about it, as the Saxonia Thin replica watch was and still is a very desirable watch, even if really “flying under the radar“. The main update concerns the indexes that, like the other Saxonia watches, are now longer, simple batons. Previously, the A. Lange & Sohne Saxonia Thin replica watch featured applied dots and batons. Now, the solid-gold baton hour markers have been slightly elongated and shifted closer to the bezel – and the gold dots have been removed. The dial becomes then cleaner but also more modern. These indexes are made in the same gold as the case, faceted and polished to a mirror finish.

The A. Lange & Sohne Saxonia Thin replica watch is a visually very simple watch, which only shows two hands. The dial is as clean as you can expect from such a watch: logo, hands, indexes, provenance… that’s all. No complications, no extra functions, no unexpected inscriptions. It’s the essence of a dress watch. At 40mm on the other hand, it isn’t a small A. Lange & Sohne best replica watch. Those looking for a smaller watch will have to go for the 35mm Saxonia Hand-Wound or the 38.5mm Saxonia Automatic. However, they won’t enjoy the thinness of the Saxonia Thin.Together with the short and curved lugs, it makes the perfect combination to be worn under your cuff.

The A. Lange & Sohne Saxonia Thin is powered by the manually wound calibre L093.1, actually the thinnest movement of the Saxonian Manufacture. With a 2.9mm height, it isn’t the thinnest movement around but considering the architecture (3/4 plate), the result is still impressive. As every single movement made by Lange, it is finished with extreme care and assembled twice. The 167 components of this rather simple movement are all hand finished: polished beveled angles on the 3/4 plate (made in German Silver), screwed gold chatons, engraved cock bridge, circular graining on the main plate, sun ray pattern on the ratchet and barrel wheels… Simpler than a 295k Euros Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon for sure, but equally finished.
This new A. Lange & Sohne Saxonia Thin replica watch will be available in 18k pink gold with a brown alligator strap or in 18k white gold with a black alligator strap.
