One of the many things I love about A. Lange & Söhne
is the homogeneity of their catalogue. I guess this is largely a product of the
fact that the company’s current incarnation is only 25 or so years old. If you
take their starting line – the Saxonia – and put it next to another offering
ten times the price, both pieces look like they belong together and the Saxonia still
looks like a beautiful, classic and desirable object; definitely not a poor
cousin. And if you add Lange’s most adventurous design into the mix – the Zeitwerk
– you start building one happy family. Unlike some venerable manufactures who may
have an entire range that is just plain ugly, Lange has nothing to be
embarrassed about. I think last year’s revamp of the Saxonia (including the
Saxonia Automatic and the Saxonia Dual Time) has improved it immensely, and I’m
glad that this year Lange have reworked the Saxonia Thin and introduced the
Saxonia Moon Phase.
