A. Lange & Söhne

We all know that the Langematik is no longer in the Lange catalogue replaced by the Saxonia automatic.

During the Salon Belles Montres, the young watchmaker was wearing a good old WG Langematik. This gave me the opportunity to compare it with the Saxonia.

The dial:

The dial of the Saxonia is very pure but maybe it lost the german style of the Langematik. The big 12 gives to the Langematik an original touch. You will notice the luminous hands of the Langematik and the blued second hand. The hands of the Saxonia are very classy.





Caliber :

Both calibers are very similar, almost identical. The 3/4 rotor made heavier by the platin part is totally gorgeous. 





Wristshots :

Very surprisingly, despite the fact that the Saxonia has a larger diameter (40mm) than the Langematik (37mm), I had the same pleasure on my wrist. It's due to the fact that both watches are perfectly balanced. Of course, we may prefer the larger size of the Saxonia, more up-to-date. But the Langematik has its own charm too.





Conclusion:

Both watches are great. On one hand, we have the character of the Langematik. On the other hand, we have the refinement of the Saxonia. I think I would choose the Saxonia at the end. Because the combo PG case / grey dial is gorgeous and because I prefer its larger size.

I would like to thank the young Lange watchmaker who lent me his watch.

whit dial, blue hand small second, perfect.

"it lost the german style".

My choice was and still is for the Langematik without date.

Thanks (again) for the pictures of the Langematik.

The langematik dial wins IMH ,the saxonia size as you said more up to date.Two great watches anyway.

a couple of weeks I had to decide the same but I took the Langematik...and I'm completely happy with ist.

Congrats to your second (?!) Lange.

yes Oliver, you're right.

I fell in love as I've seen your pics. A white case is more understatement. This is one of
my major goals...

I really went to a dealer and think about to exchange my RG L1 to a PG L1 with black dial.
...but his offer was not acceptable...maybe later. I will see.

I must confess I prefer the black dial to the dial of the Langematik of the young watchmaker.

Hello

are wonderfull watches.

The black dial brings a very classy touch to both watches.

Your Langematik with date is stunning.

But that reset-to-60 is a cool feature So which do you like more? Design or mechanical? I'd go for the Sax-O-Mat i guess....just my 2c
