Introducing A. Lange & Sohne Saxonia Outsize Date Silver Dials (Price)
The Saxonia and the Lange 1 were two of the four pillars that trumpeted Walter Lange's resurrection of the brand in 1994. The Saxonia was Lange's answer to the classic elegant dress watch; the Lange 1, with its large ex-centred date window, would become Lange's ambassador at large. The Saxonia Outsize Date appeared in 2018, with lustrous black dials (in pink or white gold cases) and the elegant symmetry that characterises many of the Saxonia family dress watches. The novelty for December 2020 is the introduction of a silver dial. Silver dialLike the existing models, the latest Saxonia Outsize Date models are also presented in 38.5mm 18k white or rose gold cases, with a height of 9.6mm, a polished bezel and brushed casebands. The novelty here is the argente or silvery dials, a colour that illuminates the face of the watch. Compared to the black dial, the personality of the watch is far less austere and lighter, but still highly classic. Ad - Scroll to c

Petrolhead Corner: A Week With The Porsche 911 Dakar And Matching PD Watch
Have we lost the plot? Are we abandoning watches? No, of course not, but this time around the Petrolhead Corner is serving up something very special. Yet with us, watches are never far away as we will be going over the connection between Porsche, the car manufacturer and Porsche Design. How? By looking at two benchmark products as examples; the mad Porsche 911 Dakar, and a matching special edition of the Porsche Design Chronograph 1. We put the car through its paces both on and off-road, and it was mad fun! Oh, and the watch too of course, as that’s kind of our thing after all. So sit back, relax and enjoy the show!Now, before I start rambling on about Porsche, its 911 Dakar, the Porsche Design watches and so on, I want to make one thing very clear. Frank and I do not consider ourselves professional motoring journalists, and it probably shows in the video. We can tell you all about watches, and quite a lot about cars, but we are no Jeremy Clarkson, Henry Catchpole or Matt Watson.
