A. Lange & Söhne Saxonia Thin. Boutique Edition. The solid silver dial is coated with an ultra-thin layer of shimmering copper-blue goldstone. Thousands of copper-oxide crystals integrated within the material liven up the deep blue with their playful reflections and sparkle like a captivating starry night sky, just like with the meteor shower in summer, whose name is derived from the Perseus constellation. This is the supposed starting point of the Perseid meteors. In fact, the meteors don’t come from a faraway galaxy, but instead from a neighbouring planetary system. As it orbits the sun, the earth collides every year in summer with fragments of the 109P/Swift-Tuttle comet, which is just 26 kilometers in diameter. The particles burn up when they enter the atmosphere, thereby creating countless shooting stars. The technical name of the comet sounds almost like a calibre designation. The calibre of the Saxonia Thin is L093.1 and it conceals the flattest movement from A. Lange & Söhne. With a diameter of 28 millimetres, the manually wound calibre that is finished to the highest standards and assembled twice is just 2.9 millimetres high. The 39-millimetre-wide white-gold case is also relatively flat at 6.2 millimetres high. The thin hands and appliques made of rhodiumed gold match the colour of the case material, and a dark-blue leather strap with solid white-gold buckle rounds off the elegant look.

About A. Lange & Söhne
Dresden watchmaker Ferdinand Adolph Lange laid the cornerstone of Saxony's precision watchmaking industry when he established his manufactory in 1845. His precious pocket watches remain highly coveted among collectors all over the world. The company was expropriated after World War II, and the name A. Lange & Söhne nearly vanished. In 1990, Ferdinand Adolph Lange’s great-grandson Walter Lange had the courage to relaunch the brand. Today, Lange crafts only a few thousand wristwatches per year, predominantly in gold or platinum. They are endowed exclusively with proprietary movements that are lavishly decorated by hand and assembled twice. With 65 manufacture calibres developed since 1990, A. Lange & Söhne has secured a top-tier position in the world of watchmaking. Brand icons such as the LANGE 1 with the first outsize date in a regularly produced wristwatch, and the ZEITWERK with its precisely jumping numerals display, rank among the company's greatest successes. Exceptional complications such as the ZEITWERK MINUTE REPEATER, the TRIPLE SPLIT, and the so far most complicated model, the GRAND COMPLICATION presented in 2013 in a six-watch limited edition, reflect the manufactory's determination to achieve ever new pinnacles in its tradition-steeped horological artistry. Launched in 2019, the sporty-elegant ODYSSEUS marks the beginning of a new chapter for A. Lange & Söhne.

a L & S is the company which makes the most beautiful watches.
And the best on top…
Perfection. Turns the Saxonia thin from a simple watch to visually stunning. If I could own 1 Lange, this would be it
I hear you, thanks for sharing…
My favorite WatchAdvisor videos are the ones where Alexander gets really excited about a watch I would personally not be interested in, to the extent that his enthusiasm rubs off and I find myself appreciating something I otherwise would have ignored. Love this channel, keep up the great work.
Thanks for this wonderful feedback! You made my day ... Love your passion!
Oh my God, this thing looks simply amazing 🤩
Men or women? Both? What do you think?
@@WatchAdvisor I should see it in the metal , but I think it could work very well both for women and men. Maybe more feminine, but not out of place also for men.
@@andreaiacolina please keep us posted…
Beautiful watch . Absolutely also wearable for men.
Many thanks, Alexander
Nizar

Very beautiful indeed!
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for featuring this beautiful model!
Thanks for sharing our passion and your super kind feedback!
a stunning watch from one of the best watch manufacturers and proving german is a match for its swiss counterparts
The only “counterpart” is Patek Philippe… the brands are eye to eye… what you should know though is that PP manufactures 70.000 watches per year and ALS only 5000 …
@@WatchAdvisorwhat makes alange so special / rare and appreciated by real watch lovers
One of my top 3 favorite AL&S watches. I just love that dial! And it’s so a man’s watch too! No doubt about it.
Thanks for sharing! Which ones are the other two?
@@WatchAdvisor the Saxonia Triple Split in pink gold with the blue dial and the Zeitwerk Lumen in Honeygold 🙂

Thanks for sharing… What about the strap?
@@WatchAdvisor I’d switch it for a black or dark gray leather strap. Alligator or maybe shark leather.
@@pauledbrown I hear you…
Amazing
Thank you! Cheers!
Beautiful piece!😊
Yo name it 😉
A beautiful Boutique only watch, bought him this year for EURO 30.200 in Germany, Superb service!
Next year is the outsize date on my list, but this is the last year they produce them.
BRAVO! CONGRATULATIONS! thanks for sharing! May your ALS continue to always show you happy minutes and hours...
Hi Alexander - thank you for this amazing video. I think I properly looked at this 20 times or so, and look for good deals in the market at the same time. I end up getting one in amazing condition. Thanks a lot for this.
Thanks for sharing your passion with us! Congratulations! Bravo! May your Saxonia continue to always show you happy seconds, minutes and hours!
Wieder einmal was für ein Review ! Und diese Uhr Sternenherrlich! Dankeschön
Thanks for sharing our passion and your kind feedback!
simply stunning...
Thanks for sharing!
Hello I just saw your video on my watch. lol I just love this watch, I just wish it was waterproof. When it is raining outside I dont wear it because I worry about damage if water gets into it. I have had lots of Rolex and sold them all because I ADORE Lange and this simple watch in particular. I like a time only watch because I have no need for anything else. BUT I have to say... a Zeitwerk would be great fun to have but how MUCH is the service on it when it comes time for it ? Not to mention ... if there is a problem.... WOW ! you would need ALOT of money to pay for the repair. I have always liked a man sized watch and I am so glad they made this sparkly jewel a big size. I think a man or a woman can wear it. Thanks for doing a review on it. Its really a lovely piece... front AND back ! I LOOOVE Lange ! Please do MORE with them.
Thanks for sharing your passion and thoughts with us! I can’t tell you exactly how expensive such a service will be, but if you can afford a Zeitwerk you will also be able to pay for it. Congratulations and bravo to your Lange! It may continue to always show you happy minutes and hours…
Hi❤ A.Lange❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing your passion with us!
*Thank you for this show, I appreciate the details you gave; those details mean a lot to me, they can be difficult to find sometimes.* *As for the timepiece--its beautiful, front and back; A. Lange & Söhne--are my favorite non bespoke fine timepieces!*
Thanks for your kind feedback and for sharing you thoughts and passion with us!
Saw the lange 1 with this dial a few weeks ago. Wearable, but a little small. This now...sorry wife, but it's mine 🤩
Thanks for sharing! So will you buy one?
@@WatchAdvisor well, I put down a deposit for a zeitwerk a few weeks ago. And odysseus was next on the list. Plus another AD made me an offer I couldn't refuse on a vacheron 1921...
Needless to say, despite the heavy hitters above, I am NOT made of money 😂
That being said...the wife does way better than I do...and she's always wanted a piece we could "share"...
Might have to see if I could have it at the Lange Boutique to view when I pick up the zeitwerk 😏
That’s what I call a passionate collector! May all your watches continue to always show you happy seconds, minutes and hours…
I always thought this was a man’s watch. In fact I know someone who had one who works at a multi brand authorized dealer and he has one.
@@christoskyriakis6472 didn't mean to imply this was a woman's watch. The boutique manager brought out the little lange 1 with this dial to show my wife and I was trying it on too. Could pull it off, but definitely wore small.
Was just joking that if he brought this one out instead, she would have to share 😅
I love it but it’s gonna be a tough one to get friends
True! 😉
Great video. Stunning watch. I would definitely buy an additional strap, but would wear both.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us!
It is a Lange. It suits both ladies and gentlemen
A question of personal taste of course…
OmG 😳 😮 wunderschön ❤🎉
Thanks for sharing your passion with us…
I have a 35mm saxonia small seconds amd I love wearing it. I’m a man and have a 6.5 inch wrist. It’s phenomenal and the size, even though small, looks very elegant on the wrist.
Thanks for sharing! May your Saxonia continue to always show you happy seconds, minutes and hours….
I had a request in to my Lange AD for one of these. I thought it would be impossible to get but she called me and had one about a month ago. I bought it. I also got another Lange watch strap in black since I thought the blue one was too much blue for me. It was pricey. Your comments are pretty much the same as my thoughts on this one. Some day it will go someone in my family. Probably the only girl. I hope she puts the blue band back on it. And, I hope she thinks of me some times then.
Lovely, passionate comment, thanks for sharing !
I believe a dark brown leather strap would’ve made the dial pop more with contrast.
It’s a grail of mine. Lange produces watches trinity quality or better now. Artwork
I’d choose a high quality woven matching blue tissue strap
Amazing looking dial. Certainly a great present for a woman though perhaps 39mm and 45mm lug to lug might be too big for some. That said, I’d rather have it myself - I feel 39mm is the ideal ‘Goldilocks’ size for a male dress watch. Not sure about the finishing on the case, is it mainly brushed? Seems a little lacklustre but maybe it’s so it doesn’t detract from the dial. Great review. No meteor showers visible here in London obviously! Shame.
Lovely comment, thanks for sharing!
The finish on the case suits me. It is hard to fault Lange’s taste. It does seem to run a bit fast, but since it is a very dressy watch I won’t be wearing it every day and I may let it run down between times wearing it.
My favorite color is blue, so I would wear it as a male.
Thanks for sharing! What about the strap? Is it too shiny?
I like the shiny look.@@WatchAdvisor
bought it in 2020 before the boutique nonsense and ridiculous prices started……yeap, strap is weak, had a matt blue/grey and a beige made
Well done, congratulations… May your Saxonia continue to always show you happy seconds, minutes and hours…
Boss what were the prices then curious to know 🤔
“My God, it’s full of stars!” Was Astronaut David Bowman talking about this dial in the movie 2001 Space Odyssey? This is fully a classic and can be worn by either sex without controversy.
What a lovely comment! Thanks for sharing…
I would wear it, no problem. Nice man's watch. It's gorgeous, and I am Speedmaster / G-Shock kind of man. It's kind of sad that I have to choose between A. L & S vs VC, but money, you know... Ideally one must have them both. And JLC, and GS. I must stop before going too far :-)
Thanks for sharing! We can feel your passion and we love it!
If anyone is interested about the price in the UK, it's £28200. Got this figure from the Lange boutique in London a couple of weeks ago. Guess one can do a rough conversion for Euros.
Thanks for sharing! They wouldn’t tell me… the regular ones sell for 24.500 Euro as mentioned in the video…
How much is the retail price? Is this hard to get in AD?
As mentioned in the video … is it hard to get? Like every other ALS too…
Beautiful watch. Shame ALS has increased prices on these by about 40% in the past 18 months.
Everyone has increased its prices, not only ALS…
@@WatchAdvisor would love to know which brands outside Richemont increased prices as much as they did
Alex, subscribers understand you have relationships with brands but it would be nice if there was a more of an objective view rather than only talking about the positives. Everyone knows no watch / brand is perfect and would appreciate knowing what the flaws are. Its not a crime to talk about the negatives.
@@UserKR13 there is nothing negative to talk about… this ALS is as it is perfect… tell me: why shall I invent something negative? …. Price adjustments of Swiss brands are due to the strong Swiss Franc … and ALS is following the given “trend”
@@WatchAdvisor you are being protective over the matter that ALS and other Richemont brands have significantly increased prices recently. Rolex and Omega increased too, yes but well under 10%. It has little to do CHF increase especially because ALS is German and the vast majority of production activities take place in Germany + explanation for the price increase directly from someone from ALS is that they want to protect their labour force to avoid other brands taking them, but still doesn’t justify the huge increases. This particular model is a several thousand euro increase but models like the Zeitwerk MR increased by about 80,000 euros in one go. Please put yourself in the shoes of the customers / viewer. You do call yourself “watchadvisor” afterall. I have been watching your channel for awhile but I don’t think I have ever heard you say anything remotely negative about the watches / brands you review. Your channel so do whatever pleases you - just letting you know what watch enthusiasts including myself think
It’s a man’s watch. Not for ladies. Just to big for them.
And the style is awesome if you’re in a celebration mood or going on an tie-event in the evening
And even casually with a t-Shirt it works well
Jean & T-Shirt and this ALS Saxonia Thin go very well together...
One of my favourite watches but I'm afraid with all the games and QC issues with Lange idk if I'll get a Lange. E.g. this is boutique only so probably have to buy another Lange to get the chance to get this. Also sadly the same with their Chronos
I just heard that ALS boutiques are extremely friendly and helpful these days 😉 … go and try your luck and please keep us posted…
Mmm this it like all the watch places I've been to in the last week.
Very sad.
??? Can you specify?
@WatchAdvisor well here we go again.
I answered you question and ask r d your opinion.
Surprise Surprise its gone.
Oh well .
Beautiful watch but I would change that strap. It distracts from the beautiful dial and it also looks cheap.
I agree, but it’s not cheap… just to shiny IMHO…
Superficially or overall, the JLC Master Thin Moon with its blue dial comes very close to this watch. Of course I would wear these L&S too, why not? Luckily it doesn't have a date window, it just performed perfectly.
A. Lange & Söhne definitely plays in another league! The only watches that come close are those from Patek Philippe…
I don't give a shit about the movements, and I'm particularly not interested in L&S movements; I think Glashütte Original and JLC are nicer. I'm interested in the time and therefore the dial, or are you wearing the movement? And I talked about the overall impression when wearing the watches. Furthermore, the movement is just as simple as an ETA movement, only better finished.
I like JLC but it's out of bounds comparing their moon phase watch to this dial...
Alexander what watches are in your personal collection?
Some… 😉 I don’t talk about /show them though …
@@WatchAdvisor Obviously, your watches are very close to you, like a family. And you don't usually share these things with others.
But you're a man, not only with a profound knowledge of watches, but you have seen and handled them in person, not all of us have such an opportunity. So, it is very interesting to learn what your choices are - I’m sure there are no bad watches in your collection ;)
Regardless, thank you for another great video (AL&S is one of my favourite brands) and for your passion and work as well!
@@arturazman5171 I thank you for your kind feedback and Info understand you, but in this case I do have to disappoint you… My collection will stay private…
Beautiful piece but a bit too dressy for me,
A daily wearer for a woman and a watch for particular occasions for a man if wishes to wear it…
But crocodiles live in the water……!!!!
Yes they do… 😉
Reference number ?please!!
Ref. 205.086
The case shape is very boring. Its the problem with Lange. Great movements, nice classic dials but boring cases.
Well... I have to disagree!
Thanks for featuring this beautiful model!
Thanks for sharing our passion and your super kind feedback!
Amazing
Thank you! Cheers!
