SAXONIA THIN

SAXONIA THIN<br />” class=”img-responsive” src=”https://lapol0.s3.amazonaws.com/media/None/saxonia-thin-lapolo.jpg” style=”width:100%” /></p><p><em>Picture credit- Hodinkee </em></p><p>The SAXONIA THIN is the manufacturer's flattest watch so far. It focuses on the essential functions of a mechanical timepiece: the display of hours and minutes. The reduced and well-organized dial architecture with the long baton appliqués in solid gold emphasizes the elegant personality of this two-hand watch</p><p>The Saxonia Thin, a svelte, two-handed, manually wound dress watch from fan-favorite A. Lange & Söhne is nothing new. In fact, the model, which is Lange's thinnest timepiece in its history, was introduced back in 2011. This year at SIHH, Cara showed you a revamped 40 mm Saxonia Thin with the same in-house German-made caliber that is just 2.9 mm thick, and slight dial tweaks. At 40 mm, the watch costs $24,500 in both rose and white gold and it remains a favorite of our team. Today, however, Lange is back with a 37 mm Saxonia Thin.</p><p>The new Saxonia Thin 37 mm will be priced at $14,800 when it hits U.S. retailers this summer. The 37 mm watch uses the exact same L093.1 caliber that's found in the 40 mm watch which includes the high-end Lange-style finishing of a German silver three-quarter plate, Glashütte rubbing, solarized winding wheels, three screwed gold chatons, and a hand-engraved balance cock. The caliber features a 72-hour power reserve from 167 different components and while 40 mm might be the preferred choice for most, 37 mm strikes a perfect balance of vintage and new for men and for women. And again, for a savings of $10,000, I have a feeling many will make that sacrifice.</p><p>The latest edition of the Saxonia Thin watch which is two-handed dial without seconds or date will appeal to a lot of purists, as will the 37 mm size and how much it represents an appeal by one of today's most lauded high-end brands to attract younger buyers. No matter how you cut it, this is likely one of the best modern watches priced under $15,000 in the world, and I personally love to see this type of thinking by such a respected brand.</p><p>The svelte profile of the SAXONIA THIN is due to the manually wound calibre L093.1 which is merely 2.9 millimeters high. Its technical features include a mainspring barrel that delivers a power reserve of 72 hours despite its compact format. The ratchet and crown wheels are visibly integrated in the three-quarter plate and decorated with spiraling solarisation on the top side.</p><p> </p></div></div></div></div></div></div><div id=
