Introduced during the formative years of the modern A. Lange & Sohne, the Saxonia represents the more restrained side of the manufactures early revival. The reference 105.001 retains the compact 34mm proportions of the original Saxonia, pairing the signature oversized date with a subsidiary seconds register and an otherwise remarkably spare dial.
This example is particularly compelling for its substantial yellow-gold Wellendorff bracelet. Langes relationship with the famed Pforzheim jeweler produced some of the manufactures most distinctive early bracelets, and the intricate, highly articulated construction seen here transforms the otherwise classical Saxonia into something considerably more unusual. Examples on Wellendorff bracelets are encountered far less frequently than their leather-strapped counterparts.
The argente dial provides a quiet counterpoint to the weight of the bracelet, with applied lozenge-shaped gold indexes, slender hands and the oversized date positioned prominently at twelve. Turning the watch over reveals the hand-wound movement through a sapphire caseback, displaying the three-quarter plate, screwed gold chatons, blued screws and hand-engraved balance cock that became signatures of the newly revived manufacture.
Combining the restrained design language of early Lange with an exceptionally elaborate Wellendorff bracelet, this is an unusual expression of the Saxonia and a particularly evocative watch from the first years of A. Lange & Sohnes modern era.
