Thanks for this post. I own the Lange 1 in your post. I could also see myself owning the Saxonia Thin...

...a watch that is Simplicity and Perfection. I just feel the dial may be a bit too plain; I need to see it once to be sure. BUT, in an industry with a lot of loud, large, "noisy" watches, the Saxonia Thin is refreshing. Its packs quite a bit of horologic

These personal differences are what make this fun, rather than an infinitely self-affirming echo chamber!

I truly enjoy hearing why people love what they love, especially when our tastes differ. Ever since I was a little kid, I've disliked watches with long, thin, stick markers. I can't explain why. Same way I feel about hard-boiled eggs, which register more

Good question Emmanuel!

My strong preference is for the first generation Lange 1. The iconic asymmetric design of the L1 dial is what first captivated me. It surprised me and felt like an evolutionary step in watch design. That captivation remains unabated. The first generation

I'd choose a time-only watch of a high-end brand.

My preference here is the Lange 1.

I have a Lange 1 and a Saxonia, but the Saxonia is not the thin version so it has a small seconds. The Saxonia Thin is to much empty space for my taste. Go with the one your heart tells you is right!
