A Contemporary Pillar of German Watchmaking

The A. Lange & Söhne Saxonia family blends minimalist design with technical sophistication, embodying the principles of Glashütte watchmaking. Introduced in 1994 as one of the brand's cornerstone lines after German reunification, the Saxonia name honors the Saxon origins of the brand. From the ultra-thin 37mm hand-wound Saxonia Thin to the versatile Saxonia Automatic and the precisely engineered Small Seconds, these watches are revered for their understated dials, hand-finishing, and in-house movements. Launched in 1994, the Saxonia was one of the four inaugural collections introduced by A. Lange & Söhne after its modern rebirth. Named for Saxony — the German state where the brand was founded — the collection embodies the architectural rigor and technical ingenuity that define the maison. While other Lange collections such as the Lange 1 and Zeitwerk push the boundaries of visual design, the Saxonia family is where mechanical sophistication meets classical proportion.

Precision and Purity: The A. Lange & Söhne Saxonia Family

From minimalist executions to high complications, the pre-owned Saxonia collection at The 1916 Company showcases the depth and nuance of A. Lange & Söhne's approach to horology. With manually wound and automatic options, combined with complications that scale to perpetual calendars, this family reflects the brand's commitment to craftsmanship, proportion, and function — without ostentation.

The Saxonia: The Foundation

The Saxonia is the collection's namesake and cornerstone. With its slim profile, applied indices, and hand-finished movement, it represents the most classical interpretation of Lange's minimalist philosophy. Designed to highlight the essentials of timekeeping, it serves as an elegant introduction to the brand's DNA.

Langematik and Saxonia Thin: Elegant Engineering

The Langematik brings automatic winding to the Saxonia family while preserving the line's signature restraint. Meanwhile, the Saxonia Thin Copper Blue exemplifies the brand's ability to integrate poetic design into minimalist formats — pairing a glittering aventurine dial with a case that's just 6.2mm thick.

Functional Refinement: Outsize Date and Moonphase

For those seeking added utility, the Saxonia Outsize Date presents Lange's signature date aperture in a balanced, symmetrical layout. The Saxonia Moonphase offers astronomical precision in a refined presentation, combining a moonphase display with small seconds for enhanced visual harmony.

Complicated Masterpieces: Datograph and Perpetual

The pinnacle of the Saxonia family is found in its most intricate models. The Datograph Up/Down stands as one of the most revered modern chronographs, featuring flyback functionality, a power reserve indicator, and large date. Even more complex, the Datograph Perpetual fuses perpetual calendar and chronograph complications — an astonishing display of mechanical ingenuity and balance.

Comparison to Other Lange Collections

Unlike the asymmetrical design of the Lange 1 or the digital readout of the Zeitwerk , the Saxonia collection maintains a more classical aesthetic. It shares technical depth with the 1815 but with a cleaner, modern visual language. Its emphasis on architectural symmetry and thin proportions makes it a distinct and highly collectible family within the broader Lange portfolio.

Who The Saxonia Is For

This collection is ideal for collectors who value understated design, impeccable finishing, and horological sophistication. Whether you're starting your journey in high horology or seeking a technically rich dress watch, the Saxonia offers enduring appeal across its many forms.
