A. Lange & Söhne is one of Germany's most prestigious watchmakers, embodying the excellence of Saxon haute horlogerie since 1845. The history of the manufacture: Founded by Ferdinand Adolph Lange in Glashütte, this company has had an exceptional history. After brilliantly developing German watchmaking in the 19th century, it was forced to cease operations in 1948 under the communist regime. Its rebirth in 1990, orchestrated by Walter Lange, the founder's great-grandson, is one of the most remarkable comebacks in contemporary watchmaking. This renaissance immediately stood out for its remarkable technical approach: each A. Lange & Söhne movement features exceptional finishing, notably the famous German nickel silver bridges and gold screws characteristic of the manufacture. The Saxonia: the essence of German elegance
The Saxonia collection perfectly embodies the brand's philosophy: pure elegance, devoid of any artifice, in the service of perfect legibility. • Timeless design: With its classic round case and minimalist dial featuring Arabic numerals or baton hour markers, this line emphasises simplicity and harmonious proportions.
• Manufacture movement: Each Saxonia houses a calibre developed and assembled entirely in Glashütte, with the brand's characteristic finishes: rhodium-plated mainplate, German silver bridges, gold screws. • Refined variations: From the classic three-hand Saxonia, as in our example, to more complicated versions with an annual calendar or chronograph, each model retains this recognisable aesthetic signature. The Saxonia perfectly illustrates the German ability to combine technical rigour with aesthetic refinement, creating pieces of discreet yet assertive elegance. This collection particularly appeals to enthusiasts who appreciate fine watchmaking in its purest form, without ostentation but with absolute technical excellence.
