  • Catalogue Essay

    The A. Lange & Söhne Saxonia is perhaps one of the most understated models by the firm. With a pure and simplistic appeal, the Saxonia was first introduced in 1994 and was named after the state of the firm’s manufacturer of Saxony. Over the course of its production, the model has been produced in a wide array of variations with cases ranging from 34 – 40mm in diameter as well as manual and self-winding examples.

    The present lady’s A. Lange & Söhne Little Saxonia in pink gold with a diamond-set bezel and a mother of pearl dial is of the smallest examples produced with a case measuring 34mm diameter. Powered by the firm’s manual cal. L 941.2, purists will surely favor the present variant over its self-winding sister models, allowing the wearer to view the highly executed and hand-engraved balance cork in full view. Offered in excellent overall condition and only believed to be worn not more than a handful of times, the present timepiece is complete with its full set of accessories.

  • Artist Biography

    A. Lange & Söhne

    German • 1845

    Originally founded in 1845 by Ferdinand Adolph Lange in Glashütte, Dresden, Germany, the firm established an entire watchmaking culture and industry in Glashütte. The brand quickly became Germany's finest watchmaker, first creating dependable, easy-to-repair watches before going on to produce some of the world's finest complicated pocket watches, including Grande Sonnerie watches, tourbillon watches and Grande Complications.

    On the final day of World War II, their factories were destroyed by Russian bombers, and in 1948 the brand was confiscated by the Soviet Union. Following the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1990, Ferdinand's great grandson Walter Lange re-established the brand with the objective to once again produce top-quality luxury watches. Now part of the Richemont Group, its original vintage and modern creations are highly coveted by collectors. Key models from the modern era include the Lange 1, Pour Le Mérite Tourbillon and the Zeitwerk.
