In January this year, A. Lange & Söhne revealed a new look for some of its most beloved models in Geneva. The Saxonia Outsize Date and the Saxonia Moon Phase now come in sleek black dials. And while the 1815 Chronograph debuted a black dial last year with a white gold case, this year the inky face is paired with the fine gloss of 18k pink gold.
Black evokes power and authority, making the colour an even better fit than the previous silver for the robust mechanical instruments. Although there is the option of white gold case, the pink gold case offers, in our humble opinion, a more superior match, striking and elegant at the same time.
“Of course, the same functionality and precision could also be achieved with less effort,” notes Anthony de Haas, director of product development. “But for us, the priority is always on the emotional experience.”
