Combining two features as complicated as the lunar phases and Lange's own big date is the new challenge reflected in theSaxonia Moonphase by A. Lange & Söhne,the new proposal from this watchmaking family. Aspects that give it its external uniqueness and that are complemented by excellent workmanship and improved technique.
The large date in double gold window divided in two to indicate units and tens thatA. Lange & Söhneincorporated into its models for the first time in 1994, it is one of the characteristics that everyone inevitably associates as something typical of the house and in theSaxonia Moonphase,could not be missed. Located as usual below 12 o'clock, it is contrasted by the window with the different phases of the moon placed above 6 o'clock, right in the upper half of the seconds hand.
El Saxonia Moonphase A. Lange & SöhneIt uses the automatic caliber L086.5, being the sixteenth movement of the Saxon house with this astronomical difficulty. The pattern is linked to the continuous movement of the wheel of hours just like the moon, whose movement never stops. With a gear made up of seven levels, its calculation is so precise that it represents the time interval between each new moon with an accuracy of 99.998%. Once adjusted, if it worked without interruption, this pattern would only have to be adjusted once every 122.6 years. Through a special patented technique, the dark blue tone of the gold lunar disk is achieved, which is accompanied by a tiny firmament of 852 stars cut out with a laser on the surface.
Using a single barrel formed by a large central rotor with a platinum oscillating mass, high winding efficiency is achieved with a working reserve of 72 hours. By adding the screw-in balance wheel, the self-oscillating balance spring, the three-quarter plate made of natural nickel silver, and the manually engraved balance wheel bridge, all molded into an impeccably hand-finished mechanism, theSaxonia MoonphaseIt brings together all the quality characteristics that identify it as a worthy son of the family of watches fromA. Lange & Söhne.
