About the Movement
The L093.1 is A. Lange & Söhne’s ultra-thin hand-wound calibre, measuring just 2.9mm in height — a figure that places it among the thinnest mechanical movements in production. Achieving this required reducing every component to its functional minimum without compromising the finishing standards expected of a Lange movement. The result powers the Saxonia Thin at 21,600 bph with 72 hours of power reserve from a single mainspring barrel. The calibre displays hours and minutes only — no subsidiary seconds, no date — a deliberate choice that allows the movement architecture to be optimised for thinness rather than complication.
About the Family
The Saxonia family takes its name from the German state of Saxony, home to Glashütte and the Saxon watchmaking tradition. It is A. Lange & Söhne’s most versatile family — spanning dress watches of extreme thinness like the Saxonia Thin, complex chronographs like the Datograph, and sophisticated complications including the Annual Calendar and Double Split rattrapante. What unifies the family is a commitment to restraint in design: clean dials, precise proportions, and finishing that rewards examination under magnification rather than impressing at first glance. The Saxonia represents the breadth of what A. Lange & Söhne can do when not constrained by a single complication or design brief.
About this reference
The Saxonia Thin is a study in disciplined reduction. At 5.9mm tall, it is one of the thinnest watches A. Lange & Söhne produces — a hours-and-minutes-only display in a 40mm white gold case, with a silver dial and the brand’s signature applied chapter ring. The L093.1 calibre, just 2.9mm in height, is hand-wound and finished entirely in Glashütte. There are no complications, no date, no subsidiary dial — just the essential act of telling time, executed with the same attention to finishing and accuracy that defines every watch the brand produces. For collectors who appreciate watchmaking at its most considered, the Saxonia Thin is the answer.
