Saxonia Thin - Black Gold Flux
Dec 07, 2020,15:57 PM
In addition to the new Saxonia date, we have a new Saxonia thin - Black Gold Flux.
Beautiful, yet very dressy piece. In a world where there are very few black tie events for now...so perhaps an aspirational piece in that regard.
I wish it were somewhat smaller...even 38 or 39 mm would be better. 40mm and 6.2mm thick is approaching pancake proportions. But it looks proportional and good in pictures.
Stunning dial. More masculine than the 39mm blue dialed version. Standard Lange hand wound movement.

"Limited" as in limited editions?
By: vitalsigns : December 7th, 2020-16:55
I think these limited editions are designed to strengthen brand equity. Can't fault Lange for that, even if as consumers it is not always a good result.
Quite interestingly

there is a photo of the movement but not one of the case back because if there was one it would show that the movement would be better suited to a 37 or 38mm case rather than a 40mm case.
I am not so sure!

There are quite a number of Lange boutiques and allocating two to each of them would equate to demand exceeding supply. The 1815 ultra thin honey gold was limited to 175 pieces yet they all sold out within less than a few days irrespective of the relative...
37mm or 38mm

and I would be buying one. Fortunately, it is 40mm
This will be a good test of the effects of COVID-19...

It seems like there's much more high-end watch activity in the past 6-8 months, with COVID-19, since people with money aren't spending it on anything else and are sitting in front of their computers more than usual. We've seen this with other brands (such...
Either bigger the movement or smaller the case

It's a relief being not the only who has thought the same 😅 Everything is perfect until you flip the watch upside down. Then the magic is lost 🙄
Agreed!
By: sham1 : December 8th, 2020-00:49
I managed to get the 38mm 1815 ultra thin honey gold and that is about the right. size Not sure why Lange went for 40mm apart from the fact that they are able to charge more than the 40mm Saxonia thin but there is little doubt that all 50 will find owners...
Yes, I had this reaction to other previous Langes...

Here are the casebacks of two 1815 Moonphases. The movements are the same diameter, but the case diameters are different: The 212.050 (left) is 37.4mm, and the 231.031 (right) is 35.9mm. The ratio of metal caseback rim to sapphire glass is perfect for the...
Lovely piece

I must see it in real life. This is on my wishlist now.
Agreed
By: sham1 : December 8th, 2020-00:51
but only due to the movement finishing. A smaller bezel would show off the movement even better in my opinion.,
My very small collection Patrick
By: sham1 : December 8th, 2020-15:10
must be attractive on the dial side and also have a movement that is well finished and fills up the case back. And when I say 'my very small collection', I am not being modest at all as I have decided to weed out my watches including almost every Patek an...
The first four I already have with me so that is easy

The Lang & Heyne Friedrich III, the Glashutte Original Senator Excellence with a black dial, the piece unique Moritz Grossmann and my Patek 7200R London Edition. So I have a spot for one more - either the Gronefeld Remontoire coming in next year or th...
2 and 3 handers.
By: patrickh : December 8th, 2020-23:06
I am in the same spirit as 3 handers are my favorite these days. Seconds hand gives more life to the dial. Love your Lang & Heyne with their rose golden hands.
Thank you Patrick!
By: sham1 : December 8th, 2020-23:30
The Lang & Heyne is for me the perfect 3 handed watch with a movement that fills up the case back. A hidden gem and great value if one equates price to movement finishing.
I was referring to the movement.
By: vitalsigns : December 8th, 2020-10:32
But still not sure about the overall diameter of the watch. Proof is in the seeing, of course. Black dials always appear smaller. I look forward to seeing some live pictures, but probably won't have a chance to see it in person.
Splendid!

These dials may be difficult to make to Lange's spec...
By: CR : December 8th, 2020-07:23
I recall hearing that Lange experienced issues with the 205.086 dial production (the blue "copper"/aventurine/goldstone dials) several years ago. I heard that they weren't able to make as many of these (or perhaps make them as quickly) as hoped, and so pr...
As I said in the other thread,

I wish it was platinum case as a strong contender for dress watch of the year... I would have considered it for sure. Mo
I personally prefer this over
By: singingbee : December 17th, 2020-23:17
The blue aventurine model two years ago. That piece although gorgeous, the actual piece is abit too feminine for me.
