My favorite Lange from SIHH
The dial changed dramatically in different lighting. Fun and dynamic in brighter light, yet conservative and dressy in a bit darker light. 37mm is my ideal size, but this at 39mm was just right!
New A. Lange & Söhne Saxonia Thin Blue Copper dial
Hi all, I’ve had the chance to try the new ALS Saxonia Thin in 39mm today with its lovely “Blue Copper” dial. When I saw the first SIHH 2018 ALS novelties and pictures, my attention immediately focused on this new Saxonia and its “starry sky” dial because...
This dial is for real Langeholic 😍😍😍
Women watches are full of bling bling (and likely quartz inside) 🤢 This dial reminds me the amazing De Bethune's one, it provides some magic to the classic german style. I'm in love with the new Saxonia, thin case and big date.
I’m happy to see Lange offering such a timepiece because that really adds something more in their collection in my opinion. Still technically impressive and perfectly finished of course but with “more soul” for me
Regarding the DB Milky Way, I’ll be honest with you. I prefer this latter one. But its price is not the same as the Lange 😉 Best wishes Alkiro
I realy like the watch and the dail 👌🏻😘
Hope to see it person soon . It reminds me of one of my fav CvdK the Real Moon with Aventurine dail Think the ALS is a bit more tamed if i look at the pictures . I see my self wearing it 🤗 ...
Your right my friend . The reason i didnt buy that CvdK yet is because its a bit in your face . I like it a lot but my wife (aka Boss ) keeps telling me not to do it .
So i need to have a close look at that ALS soon . Maybe she will approve that one 🙏🏻😉
Thanks for sharing a live close up
I really love this dial...esp given ALS does not normally offer interesting dials for regular production watches...This one is top notch! Do you feel the 39mm too big? I prefer 37mm for Saxonia thing in general..so wondering how 39mm goes..
As an owner of an unisex model myself (Blue Ellipse) and
... a lover of Pina Coladas my verdict is: if you love it, wear it! In your picture I can tell that it is a quite nice Saxonia!
The ALS Chronometre Bleu?
I love this piece! I found the previous 2-hand Saxonias a little austere, but the 'starry night' dial is just wonderful. Although the aesthetic is very different, for me this fits a similar role in the ALS line-up to the role payed by the Chronometre Bleu...
Very interesting parallel. Thank you as I didn’t think about it before.
Well, hard to answer to your question but it’s true that this ALS will be the entry level of the brand like the CB is for FPJ. They both share something I called the “twist effect” (something unusual you like or not but which can let you indifferent) with...
Agreed
Like the CB, I think this has the potential to appeal to both ALS collectors (because of its uniqueness in the line-up) and to people who are new to ALS (because it is, relatively speaking, affordable). It's not as 'far-out' as the CB (with its tantalum c...
Your photo quality is very good because...
I was trying to brush off that lone standing hair of your wrist off my phone screen a few times🤣 Rgds Raymond
ROFL 😂😂😂
You know that I have a true problem with one of my hair each time I take a shot. It’s always here at 8 o’clock above the sapphire glass and I have to think about removing it before taking a picture 😁 Best wishes Alkiro
The dial looks really special.
Hope to see one in person someday. Thanks for the photo.
My top favourite in SIHH this year so far
Thanks for your sharing, Alkiro. Did you take any photos of its case back?
Thank you for the real life shot of this beauty!
One of my favorite releases this SIHH, just works so well with the simple dial + case.
I wish it was entry-level
It is $7,000 more than the Saxonia 35mm and Saxonia Thin 37mm
My only concern is the size
The Thin 37mm looked too big on my wrist (so I bought the Saxonia 35mm). However, I am hoping the dark dial makes it wear smaller and I may still buy it no matter what as it will be the only bold Moser-like dial in my collection.
The only comparable piece I can think of is the Tonda from Parmigiani
But that one has diamond bezel and therefore not for me. The dial is absolutely gorgeous in person though. I'm really excited to see this ALS in person as well.
I didn’t think about the Parmigiani (thank you for the reminder) but you have several other possibilities such as a Jaquet Droz, the Omega Speedmaster Moon Phase Aventurine, the Christiaan Van Der Klaauw Planetarium (new model)...
But this Lange has really something special. If you can see it in real, bring a magnifying glass with you and look at its dial. You’ll see like little copper nuggets. Superb! Best wishes Alkiro
The aventurine really works well with simple dials, hopefully my local AD will carry the new ALS soon.
Thanks for listing the others, didn't know they had it aside from the Omega.
You have a wide choice today but, as you said, this kind of dial works very well with “simple” watches. And this new ALS is perfect here
If you try it, give us your feeling. Best wishes Alkiro
lovely watch with amazing dial!
However,i reckon this is more of a dress watch ---can't see it as a daily use watch. Thanks for showing it. best henry
Yeah, from my experience with the blue aventurine dial Omegas...
... they're fun, versatile watches that defy a particular use. I will be curious to see if Lange will experiment further with non-traditional dial materials. Maybe this is a sign of things to come?
Gorgeous dial
and at 39mm definitely for men too!!! If it came in 37mm, I would be in trouble
Yes I know but
how nice if they made this dial in 37mm too - you have seen my small wrist!!
At 37mm with the shimmering blue dial
it automatically becomes a unisex watch and Lange will get to kill two birds with one stone

No problem!
I'm really not sure about wrist size - I would guess medium, maybe somewhere between 6.75" - 7". I should probably know by now! Regardless, it fit everyone I was with like a glove.
Thanks!
I was telling myself that I don’t need the watch and then I see your damn photos! 😀
