A very important review!! :-)

Thank you Moe for sharing your experience with us. I too love this watch and there are two things worth noting when one compares this watch with say the Saxonia in 35mm. Despite being from the same family, the dial colours are slightly different. Your ultra thin has a richer more vintage patina which can be appreciated when you put both watches side by side. In addition, the movement on your watch shows more elements than the 35mm Saxonia or even the Lange 1 where the three quarter plate leaves little else to be seen.


I noticed that your watch has a black strap instead of the standard burgundy/brown strap. Was this by choice to make the watch more dressy because I must say the standard strap does blend in well with the rose gold?

Enjoy your gem of a watch. You are absolutely correct in saying that there are no watches currently produced in that price range that exhibit the quality of the ultra thin.

Saxonia Thin 37mm Review.

After almost 3 months since I got my first Lange I believe I’m able to give my full honest review on this timepiece. I usually form a full opinion within the first two weeks but due to the simplicity of this watch, I wanted to see whether I would eventual...  

Beautiful in its simplicity!

Not many people notice the difference between the dials on the Saxonia 35mm and the Thin 37mm. The one on the Thin is indeed richer. As for the movement, i share your same sentiments- having the ratchet and crown wheels visible really adds a new dimension... 

Thanks Moe for this great review

the beauty of a classic time-only gold watch has to be experienced and the Lange is a prime contender. Thanks, CC PS: recognise the museum

there is never a long story when you talk watches ;-)

Like the watch, like the pictures (especially the first two). Congratulations!

The pictures were the idea of my wife

I absolutely love everything Lange, and I must admit I've come very close to buying this watch myself a couple of times. The finishing and quality is top notch. Enjoy in good health.

Thanks for reading!

You can never go wrong with Lange.

Thank you for your impressions

Very nice shot from the profile. Is winding the watch audible? I read somewhere the movement is making a sound?

Yes it is.

 
 By: TheWindingStem : November 17th, 2017-12:19
Not loud but i believe since the ratchet wheel is located on the surface the clicking of the wheel is a tad audible.

This might be a reason

 
 By: COUNT DE MONET : November 17th, 2017-12:56
I think the tough main spring might also cause the noise. Not directly but the ratchets. But the reward is a long power reserve.

This makes more sense

 
 By: TheWindingStem : November 17th, 2017-13:15
couple that with a thinner movement maybe? in all cases the noise is barely noticeable.

Every time I read about the Saxonia Thin....

.... I'm tempted to get one for myself. Trying my darn best to resist!

Resistance is futile!!

Go for it- you will not regret it.

Your wrist size

 
 By: JW True North : January 28th, 2018-08:15
May I know your wrist size? Mine is at 7 1/4" and I am worried that it is too small for me.

I honestly don’t know

Here are pics of the Explorer in 39mm, Speedy in 42mm and Lange 1 in 38.5mm to give you a general sense by comparison: h ...  

Please measure yourself

 
 By: JW True North : January 28th, 2018-17:22
Can you please measure it with a string and measure it on a ruler?

Congrats for this great watch!

 
 By: foversta : May 10th, 2018-13:13
I find it perfect with this size. And to be frank, I find it boring with the 40mm diameter. Congrats! Fx

Thank you my friend!

 
 By: TheWindingStem : May 21st, 2018-21:57
and i agree, the 40mm ruins the watch- at 37mm its perfections!
