Note du spécialiste
Offered in 'like' new overall condition, the present timepiece is part of a limited edition of 50 pieces only in white gold with aventurine glass dial.
The beauty of aventurine glass is its subtle sparkle produced by inclusions of copper and other materials, a technique practised by Murano glassblowers. The dial of the Saxonia Thin starts life as a solid silver blank and is then coated with black gold flux containing copper spangles. To create the mesmerising sparkle, glassmakers have to introduce copper oxide while the glass is being heated, which in turn crystallises as the mixture cools off.
The Saxonia was amongst the four watches that debuted in the first collection of the watch manufacturer A. Lange & Söhne in 1994. With its simple and elegant design, the Saxonia took a permanent place within the collection of the manufacture, paying homage to Saxony and the savoir faire of watchmakers of the region.
