Thanks bro
"I simply loved the watch, and I could care less about collectability. True, this watch doesn't house any complication, isn't technically important to the industry or brand, nor is it ultra rare; but this is the watch that I love wearing - and that's that."
This is the paragraph that really resonated with me. A watch can have all the brand heritage, it can be an iconic trailblazer, it can have all the mind-blowing compliations... But if it doesn't strike a chord with the wearer, it's nothing. Because nobody's gonna wear the watch but you.
Great review Pete!
A month on the wrist: 35mm Saxonia in WG
A watch made me pause and rethink this crazy hobby of ours It did so without complication or flare, but with three hands, twelve applied indexes, a silver dial, a three-piece case, and a technically simple but perfectly executed movement. It is the 35mm A...
Winding efficiency
Thank you for the post, could you comment on how quickly the watch winds in terms of crown revolutions?
Back to the fundamentals, Pete. you cannot get rid of a watch with such virtues.
Simple yet elegant, I would add timeless. That's the Lange I love. Thanks for this nice artcle, Pete. Best, Nicolas
Thank you for this great view, Pete.
Both the watch and the writing are beautiful. You conveyed your feeling in a gentle and peaceful way with love and emotion behind it. The ever evolving process of self reflection often leads to deeper and truer self understanding. This hobby brings us so ...
Dear Luis - you are too kind.
Indeed, our preferences in watches reflect our inner self. While the collection may shift, the wonderful community always holds true.
Great pics , great review!
Like a pro Peter my friend Congrats for your great acquisition. An excellent dress watch for work and formal events. One of the best black tie event watch IMHO Cheers Robin
Thank you Bro!
This is one of the few NON-BRO watches that I treasure. It distracted me from pursuing BroWath #3.
Thanks bro

Bro - your words mean a lot. Thank you!
And you're right. The wearer's passion is both sufficient and necessary for a watch to belong in his collection. If one day someone else will buy watches for me, perhaps then his opinion might have a little weight. But until then, it's just me and my watc...
congratulations Pete..a wonderful watch and a great...
summary of the fact that a watch doesn't need to be complicated to be amazing. Sometimes it is very good to stop and reflect on what makes a good watch and your saxonia is a perfect example of outstanding execution in a simple but very unique watch. Wear ...
Sincere thanks Christian!
Agree 100%. Sometimes, it's the simplest watches that have the longest impact. Cheers!
A love affair is born.
One that will last the ages. Beautiful piece. Beautiful words.
Thanks a lot for this excellent review Pete
This 35mm Saxonia is an excellent surprise thanks to its balance and its subtle character. Fx
Thank you! and I agree...
This one instantaneously grabbed my attention and has not let go.
Late response, but
This is one really beautiful dress watch. I remembered handling it at a boutique; its almost perfect to me as Lange's "entry" level dress watch. I think I prefer it over the 1815 for its sheer simplicity and neatness. However I wished they kept this dial ...
I would have gone for the Saxonia too!
Much more classy looking than the 1815's printed indices and the "beheaded" 6 o'clock marker....
