THE INTRODUCTION & DESIGN

The eponymous watch factory of A. Lange & Söhne was founded in Glashutte, Germany, and is said to produce about 5000 watches yearly. With a revered reputation among collectors of an informed background, it maintains its position as an industry-defining niche brand.

The round-shaped, solid three-body case features a flat, angled bezel, downturned lugs, and a fluted push/pull crown with A. Lange & Söhne engraving, all of which is polished—this A. Lange & Söhne Saxonia 206.032 watch contains a mechanical manual winding A. Lange & Söhne caliber L 941.1 movement adorned with Fausses Côtes and Côtes de Geneve, with 21 jewels, 164 components, and a shock absorber device for increased robustness. In addition, it has 18K rose gold sword-shaped hands, black painted stick-shaped small seconds hand, and a sapphire crystal display case back secured with six screws.

THE MOVEMENT

The 1815 timepiece boasts a straight-line lever escapement, monometallic balance adjustable to five positions, and self-compensating Nivarox® flat balance spring, among other features. In addition, its swan-neck micrometer regulator, hand-engraved balance bridge, and precision beat adjustment system with whiplash spring contribute to the device's accuracy. This device is named after Ferdinand A. Lange, born in 1815 in Glashütte and an iconic figure in Germany's precision watchmaking industry. It operates with a frequency of 21,600 vph (3Hz). The case, movement, and dial are all signed with the A. Lange & Söhne Glashütte I/SA marking at 12 o'clock and the "Made in Germany" inscription at 6 o'clock.
