A. Lange & Söhne Saxonia Thin 37mm Review

Key Points from the Discussion

• A. Lange & Söhne earns respect for accurately labeling the Saxonia Thin, which measures a mere 5.9mm, as 'Thin' rather than 'Ultra Thin,' a descriptor often misused by other brands for thicker watches.
• Despite its 37mm case, the Saxonia Thin wears larger due to its long, straight lugs, which measure between 47mm and 47.5mm lug-to-lug. While they slope downwards, this can still be an issue for smaller wrists.
• The 72-hour power reserve of the Saxonia Thin's caliber became a foundational design for subsequent Lange movements. Furthermore, its micro-beveled teeth on the gear-train are a rare detail, found in only a few other Lange calibres across various complications.
• The Saxonia Thin is considered an exquisite piece within the A. Lange & Söhne catalog, praised for its perfect size, refinement, and a 3/4 plate movement that showcases visible crown and ratchet wheels.
• Some collectors, including the original author, express a strong affinity for Breguet's aesthetic, specifically their numerals, hands, and black enamel dials, even when comparing it to the Saxonia Thin.
