A. Lange & Söhne introduced the Saxonia Double Split in 2004, marking a pioneering milestone as the world's first double rattrapante chronograph. It integrates a second minute counter on top of the traditional split seconds, showcasing a blend of innovation and tradition.


This remarkable timepiece boasts a robust platinum case, 43 mm in diameter, housing the remarkable caliber L0001.1. This caliber incorporates a mechanism enabling both the chronograph hand and rattrapante hand to seamlessly reset. With a thickness of approximately 15 mm, the watch accommodates the powerful movement elegantly. Taking a look at the sapphire crystal case back, one can admire the depth and layers of architectural excellence of the German watchmaking brand.


Inspired by the design of the firm's Datograph model, the dial of the Saxonia Double Split establishes its own distinct identity by replacing the big date with a power reserve aperture. A closer look reveals the second rattrapante hand distinguished by its golden color against the classic blue. Notably, all chronograph and rattrapante hands are flyback hands, highlighting the meticulous attention to detail lavished upon this extraordinary timepiece.The Saxonia Double Split embodies a level of craftsmanship and precision that is certain to captivate discerning watch collectors.
