In the world of watches, complex functions are not just about showing off skills, but also a deep understanding of the art of watchmaking. Lange’s newly released Saxony Minute Repeater Perpetual Calendar watch perfectly combines the two, especially its minute repeater function, which makes people want to find out. Do you know how this feature works? Come and take a look at the story behind this watch and learn how it finds a balance between time and art!

One watch shows extraordinary skills

In the world of watches, complex functions often mean superb watchmaking skills. For example, Lange’s newly released Saxony Minute Repeater Perpetual Calendar Watch (model 607.091FE) is a work that perfectly combines complex functions with watchmaking skills. This watch not only has a perpetual calendar function, but also is equipped with a minute repeater function. For those who like watches, the minute repeater function is no stranger. This function allows the watch to emit three sounds, representing the hour, quarter hour and minute. It only needs to be activated through the left slider.

This watch is limited to 50 pieces. It is paired with a black alligator leather strap and a platinum folding clasp. It looks very elegant. The use of platinum material not only improves the grade of the watch, but also has an important impact on the sound and echo, making the sound of the watch brighter and crisper.

And all these beautiful things are obtained at the cost of time. Because of the birth of this minute repeater perpetual calendar watch, the watchmaker needed to spend a month to make the dial, and the process of making the enamel dial was even more complex and time-consuming, with a very high scrap rate. A finished product often required multiple firings to complete, and one firing took 24 hours. Temperature control was the key, and any carelessness could cause the entire work to be destroyed.

Only high-level skills and strong control capabilities can minimize the scrap rate in this link.

The movement is the heart of the watch

The reason why the watch can move depends entirely on the power provided by the movement. The Lange Saxon Minute Repeater Perpetual Calendar watch is equipped with the L122.2 manual winding movement developed by Lange itself. The movement contains 640 parts. With so many parts hidden in a thickness of 7.6 mm, it shows how deep the watchmaker’s skills are.

This movement provides a 72-hour power reserve for the watch, which is enough to meet the wearing needs of ordinary watch lovers. Manual winding also means that the wearer needs to wind the watch regularly. This process is not complicated and can also enhance the relationship between the wearer and the watch.

The most amazing thing is that this movement also has the function of eliminating time pauses. When the minute repeater function is activated, the hammer in the movement will strike the gong to make a sound. This process will consume the power of the movement. The pause disappearing function is to temporarily stop the pendulum when the movement makes a sound to prevent it from continuing to swing, thereby reducing energy loss.

Limited edition shows nobility

For watch lovers, what attracts them most is often not the complicated functions, but the four words limited edition. In the entire watch industry, limited-edition watches tend to rise, because they carry collectors’ understanding of time and art. Just like Lange’s Saxon Minute Repeater Perpetual Calendar watch, it is limited to 50 pieces and is only sold in Lange designated stores. This scarcity has destined it to be worth a lot of money.

This watch is paired with a black crocodile leather strap, which has excellent texture, and also has a platinum folding clasp, which is more convenient to wear than the traditional pin buckle method.

Conclusion

Lange’s Saxony Minute Repeater Perpetual Calendar watch is truly a work of art. It not only looks classy, but also represents the ultimate pursuit of watchmaking craftsmanship. Its limited edition also makes people feel precious, and I sincerely hope to own such a watch one day. Do you think such a watch is worth buying?
