This model features an 18KWG (white gold) case, a silver dial with classical Arabic numerals and railroad minutes, and beautiful blue steel hands. The minimalist design with only hour, minute and small second hands is unique to A. Lange & Söhne. The beautifully finished in-house hand-wound movement "Cal.L051.1" can be admired from the case back, making this the ultimate dress watch that combines elegance and sophistication and can be worn both on and off the job.

The model name "Saxonia" is derived from the state of Saxony, the hometown of the company's founder, Adolf Lange, and known in Germany as a pioneer of technological development.

The combination of 18KPG (pink gold) case and silver dial gives this watch an elegant impression, with a case diameter of 38.5mm and a thickness of 7.8mm, making it the thinnest automatic watch ever made by A. Lange & Söhne. The design is characterized by its simplicity, with the elimination of the circles and dots on the index, and the see-through back allows you to see the beautiful finish and operation of the automatic movement "Cal.L086.1". This is a recommended watch with a beautiful "simple yet detailed design" that is a characteristic of the "SAXONIA".

③ "Little Lange 1 Moon Phase" "Ref. 182.086"

The Little Lange 1 Moon Phase, Ref. 182.086, features an eye-catching design with an 18KWG (white gold) dial and tiny copper-blue goldstone crystals layered on top of each other.

Goldstone is an artificial gold dust made by mixing cuprous oxide powder into molten glass, and its shape, reminiscent of the starry sky at night, is simply beautiful. The so-called "Little Lange 1" has a slightly smaller case size of 36.8 mm while retaining the design of the "Lange 1", and is comfortable to wear and easy to use for Japanese people, many of whom have small wrists. It is an attractive finish.

④ "A. Lange 1 Daymatic" "Ref. 320.021"

In 2010, the Lange 1 Daymatic, Ref. 320.021, was released as the collection's first model equipped with an automatic movement.

This model, called the Daymatic, features an asymmetrical design that mirrors the Lange 1 and a retrograde day display. The contrast between the silver color of the dial and the 18KYG (yellow gold) case and hands creates a gorgeous yet elegant finish. The Cal. L021.1 movement is the first automatic movement from the new A. Lange & Söhne to feature a central rotor, and the beautiful finish of the rotor is also noteworthy. This is a recommended watch for those who like the design of the Lange 1 and would like a watch with the convenience of an automatic winding.

⑤ "A. Lange 1 Moon Phase" "Ref. 192.025"

[A. Lange & Söhne] The Lange 1 Moon Phase, Ref. 192.025, made of PT (platinum) and launched with a new caliber at SIHH in 2017.

This model features a moon phase integrated with the day/night indicator, and a beautiful celestial disk that changes to different shades of blue depending on the time of day, from a starless blue sky during the day to a dark blue sky with twinkling stars at night. The in-house hand-wound movement "Cal.L121.3" has a stop-second function, so it is not only convenient, but you can also admire its beautiful finish through the see-through back. This is a recommended model that is extremely rare in circulation, and you can expect it to be a valuable investment in addition to its design and functionality.

⑥ "Odysseus" "Ref.363.179"

Released in 2019, A. Lange & Söhne's first luxury sports model, Odysseus.

The brand, which had previously only produced watches in solid gold (though very few models were produced in stainless steel), has made its first regular model with a stainless steel case, and has also announced its first sports model, which has attracted a lot of attention. In addition, with its beautifully designed case lines, dark blue dial that can be used anywhere, and oversized date symmetrically placed on both sides, it is not only beautiful but also highly practical, and its popularity is skyrocketing. By the way, there are also models in 18KWG (white gold) x gray dial and TI (titanium) specifications limited to 250 pieces, so why not compare them to see which model you like best?

⑦ "Langematik Perpetual" "Ref.310.037"

The Ref. 310.037 was released in 2021, marking the 20th anniversary of the birth of the Langematik Perpetual Calendar, and is limited to 50 pieces.

This model features an oversized date and a perpetual calendar mechanism with a month and day display in an exquisite layout on the dial, and the moon phase at 6 o'clock, combined with the texture of the pink gold case and the elegant Roman indexes, makes this a model that stands out for its beauty and is truly an A. Lange & Söhne design. It also features a "zero reset mechanism" that stops the movement the moment the crown is pulled out and automatically returns the second hand to the zero position, making it a recommended watch that is not only stylish but also has a full range of functions.

8. "1815 Chronograph" "Ref.414.028"

*Source: https://www.commit-watch.co.jp/buyer/watches/mens/a-lange_and_sohne/1815-chronograph-320951/

This watch is dedicated to Adolf Lange, the founder of A. Lange & Söhne, and is nicknamed the "Doctor's Chronograph" because the model name, "1815," is named after the year of his birth.

This watch has a classical and stylish design with a pulse meter that displays your pulse rate and Arabic numerals on the outer periphery of the dial. The movement is the "Cal.L951.5" manual winding chronograph, which is an improvement over the "Cal.L951.1" that was adopted by the Datograph in 1999, and does not display the date. With a diameter of 39.5mm and a thickness of 11mm, it fits comfortably on the wrist, and is one of the most highly acclaimed mechanical watches for both its design and performance. This is a watch that we highly recommend to anyone who wants to enjoy the beauty that only a mechanical watch can offer.

The Saxonia Annual Calendar, Ref. 330.026E, was A. Lange & Söhne's first model equipped with an annual calendar, announced at SIHH in 2010.

The 38.5mm 18KWG (white gold) case and the blue steel hands on the silver dial give this watch an elegant and refreshing impression. The double disc oversized date, month, day of the week, and moon phase are beautifully balanced on the dial, and all of these can be easily adjusted with the adjustment pushers. The see-through back allows you to enjoy the beautifully hand-engraved movement "Cal.L085.1", making it a watch that can be enjoyed from both the front and back.

10. Datograph "Ref. 403.031"

The Datograph Ref. 403.031 is A. Lange & Söhne's signature chronograph model, released in 1999.

This model features a beautiful dial design with applied Roman indexes, a tachymeter scale on the outer periphery, and a two-counter chronograph, as well as a movement. The movement "Cal. L951.1", which is said to be the most beautiful of all mechanical watches, can be viewed through the see-through caseback to view its intricate movement. This movement, which can be called a work of art, is sure to captivate anyone, even if they are not a watch enthusiast.
