A. Lange & Sohne Saxonia Thin in Rose Gold (Ref. 211.032)The German watch manufacture has updated its dressy Saxonia line with the new A. Lange & Sohne Saxonia Thin (Ref. 211.032) hand wound watch in rose gold.Presented in a rose gold case 40.00 mm in diameter and only 5.90 mm in height, this is the thinnest timepiece in Lange’s whole product range.In fact, although clearly not the candidate for the title of the thinnest watch in the world, the new A. Lange & Sohne Saxonia Thin has very few serious competitors, even among the major Swiss watch brands.For example, last year’s Vacheron Constantin Historique 1968 has a case of 5.00 mm in height, while the automatic-powered Piaget Altiplano is 5.25 mm thick.The Lange Saxonia Thin is animated by a new Caliber L093.1 hand-wound movement that comprises 167 parts, is 28.00 mm in diameter and only 2.90 mm in height. Meticulously decorated and assembled by hand, the movement is a real pleasure to look at.Like most affordable ultra-thin watches, the new Saxonia Thin features a simple solid silver dial with a pair of lancet-shaped hour and minute hands crafted from rose gold.The watch will be delivered on a hand-stitched chestnut-colored crocodile strap with a Lange prong buckle in solid rose gold.Price is not yet available.

Last year, Lange introduced the Zeitwerk. For SIHH 2010, they unveiled the Lange Zeitwerk "Luminous", like the original Zeitwerk, but with an even more contemporary design and, of course, "luminous" (white Superluminova coated jumping hours and minutes). I was surprised to hear that Lange used PVD on any of their watches, however, the PVD coated German silver time bridge probably looks great in-person. Especially on top the dark-tinted sapphire crystal glass that essentially acts as the dial on this Lange masterpiece. Viewing the numbers, in the dim lighting, behind the tinted glass, while the hours and minutes advance, is surely an amazing sight. Press Release PDFRetail is TBDSource: A Lange & Sohne
