Specialist note

Introduced in 2010, the Saxonia Annual Calendar was A. Lange & Söhne’s first annual calendar wristwatch. Slim (9.8 mm.) and very wearable at 38.5 mm, the watch’s dial design is a study in balance – the outsize date at 12 o’ clock is perfectly off-set by the moon-phase indication at 6 o’ clock and the month and day indications at 3 and 9 o’ clock respectively.

Thanks to the sapphire crystal caseback, the gorgeous Cal. L.0851 is in visible in all its glory. The movement has an off-centre 21k gold micro-rotor with a platinum edge and features the classic three-quarter plate construction typical of Glashütte timepieces. Also note the swan neck regulator and hand-engraved balance cock. The movement has zero-reset function that stops the seconds hand and sets it back to 12:00 when the crown is pulled.

The watch will appeal to all connoisseurs of fine watchmaking.
