Catalogue Essay
- First released in 1994 during the resurrection of A. Lange & Söhne, the Saxonia is a classic timepiece with an effortless, confident design that has withstood the test of time. The model has since grown into a family of charismatic dress watches, sporting divine proportions inspired by traditional Saxon watchmaking.
- The present example is a platinum ref. 105.025, featuring a stunning symmetrical silvered dial with the firm’s signature outsized date apertures, counterbalanced by a small seconds subdial at six.
- Framed in a 34mm diameter case, this quiet giant bears an impressive wrist presence despite its petite size.
- Tastefully executed both inside and out, the sapphire caseback proudly reveals its hand-finished manual cal. L941.3, a movement that is as technically sound as it is a sight to behold. With its ¾ baseplate, hand-embellished balance cock and a combination of other finishing touches, it is no surprise collectors hold the German giants and their timepieces in such high regard.
- The present Saxonia ref. 105.025 is offered in excellent overall condition with its original accessories. As small watches are soaring in popularity, this is the ideal opportunity for collectors looking to expand their collection with a charming dress watch that will slide through any tight cuff.

A. Lange & Söhne
German | 1845Originally 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.
