Hands on review of the Lange & Söhne Saxonia Thin 37mm
The first version of the Saxonia Thin was presented at the SIHH 2011 in rose gold and in white gold the following year. It symbolized the approach Lange & Söhne in the segment of fine and elegant watches. Although the Saxon manufactory had no desire t...
Could this be...
...all the watch the refined gentleman ever needs? It's very elegant, understated and confident of itself; it doesn't need buttons or sub-registers or anything to scream Hey, I'm An Expensive Watch. To my eye, it would not be out of place with just about ...
I was thinking the same thing!
Maybe this, plus a Rolex, Omega, Panerai or IWC and a Seiko/G-shock for working out you'd be done!
Great move to 37mm and geat article FX !
It makes the Saxonia thin in my opinion more wearable and classy. They should make a stainless steel blue dial one, that would/could be awesome. But my favorite Saxonia is still the Boutique edition, especially ref. 216.027, simply stunning. ...
That's also gorgeous...
It adds minute markers and a sub-seconds hand - hmmm - also pretty darned nice. Stainless steel and a blue dial would be the absolute bee\'s knees. Drool. And it is really is great that we are finally getting back to reasonable case sizes! Best E
Like you,I prefer stainless steel, but...
When putting it on the wrist, the Saxonia 35mm is extremely seductive. I'm would think the new 37mm would do the same. So much so that the preference for the metal can be thrown the window if I gave in to my ridiculous reasoning.
I like the new 37 mm version a lot
and the price is sensible. Worth of considering. Best, Kari
Great post, FX.
Removing the "exclamation point" hour markers does indeed make this watch much more elegant. It just might be the perfect formal watch. A black dial option, or white lacquer , might be the finishing touch(es).
Thanks Fx...........
I have been waiting for you to do this review. I really like the rose gold version and have it on my list to buy one day. So glad to see case sizes go back down to reasonable levels again. At 37mm, for most people, this may be perfect pure dress watch at ...
I am waiting to try this on when it gets to the stores here
and based on what I'm seeing, if any watch is going to move me from steel to precious metal, this one has the highest chance of success! Thanks for this very nice review.
100% agree!
Richard, You got it: if anything can move me to precious metals, it\'s the prospect of something elegant like this, sized reasonably, with excellent finishing and a strong value proposition. Looking forward to trying it on.... Best E.
Thanks for the details
the two strategic points you made, something for someone with smaller wrist and budget, together with overall excellent feedback about this brand from the forumn members, had me sold on the 37mm.
I love it!
37 mm version is one of the best dress watches! And the price is so good.... Constantin
For the first time ever, I begin to understand and appreciate the beauty
of a manual-wind watch with no seconds hand on the dial.
In other words they offered at what the market will bear, and not to achieve some exact profit measure with the bigger one. With the 37, they pulled back significantly but they still must be making something.
I guess when I consider what JLC or Chopard offer in simple elegance, the Saxonia 37 lines up.
I wrote a comprehensive review here:
www.watchprosite.com Question is: do you need a second hand? If yes, the Saxonia 35mm is an excellent choice. Fx
