A. Lange & Söhne Unveils the Refined SAXONIA THIN in Honeygold and Platinum
With its design reduced to the essence and a slender, artisanally finished manufacture movement, the SAXONIA THIN radiates pure elegance. Now the special editions in 750 honey gold (HONEYGOLD®) and 950 platinum with a jet-back, glossy onyx dial enrich the range of SAXONIA THIN models with two new refined versions, each one limited to 200 pieces. The lucid design reduced to the essence describes the characteristic design of the SAXONIA THIN in a nutshell: with its two slender hands and appliques, the dial is totally focused on the indication of time in hours and minutes. The harmonious face of the watch is the result of precisely adapted proportions. The onyx-faced dial that graces the new model versions endows the aesthetic composition with a particularly noble appearance. Rarely used in precision watchmaking, the gemstone mesmerises with its jet-black, glossy surface. |
