Saxonia "Japan" Edition & Wellendorff

Saxonia — 215.049

The Saxonia was introduced alongside the Arkade, the Lange 1, and the Tourbillon “Pour le Mérite” in 1994. Interestingly, next to the avant-garde Lange 1 or the feminine Arkade, the Saxonia stood as the most classical pillar of the catalog until the arrival of the time-only 1815 models. Although the name suggests a tribute to the past, the collection is actually a masterful blend of tradition and modern, functional innovation. Günter Blümlein explained this philosophy best: “The 1994 A. Lange & Söhne wristwatches and all upcoming models are anything but epigones of watchmaking legends… It is not our intention to celebrate traditional craftsmanship or to compete for the most complicated clock. One of our goals is watchmaking beauty and perfect craftsmanship. On the other hand, innovations and differentiating design are important parameters for us.”

Saxonia "Japan" Edition reference 215.049 represents a masterful transition of the Saxonia Collection from the "biscuit" proportions of 34 mm to the modern 37 mm size. The Japan Edition is limited to 25 pieces, and the only two-tone dial Saxonia ever made. Its incredible allure is only elevated with a matching Wellendorff bracelet. The black / silver coupledom brings a brilliant versatility and sporty charm to the otherwise classic Saxonia.
