A. Lange & Söhne Unveils the Saxonia Annual Calendar

At the prestigious Watches & Wonders Geneva, A. Lange & Söhne has unveiled the latest addition to its timepieces, the Saxonia Annual Calendar. This exquisite model stands out due to its automatic movement, compact case size, and timeless elegance, making it a chic companion for any occasion. Available in two variations—white gold and pink gold—each model captures the essence of fine watchmaking.

Unparalleled Readability

The design team at A. Lange & Söhne has put significant emphasis on visibility with the Saxonia Annual Calendar. Essential information such as the time and date can be quickly accessed at a glance. Noteworthy features include a sub-dial at the 9 o'clock position for the day of the week, paired with another at the 3 o'clock position for the month. A small second at 6 o'clock showcases a moonphase display, subtly set against a starry night sky background.

Precision in Moonphase Display

A. Lange & Söhne demonstrates its dedication to precision with a moonphase display that requires only a single day’s adjustment every 122.6 years. The moon disk, crafted from 750 gold and coated in deep blue, presents 428 stars recreating a miniature depiction of the Milky Way, resulting in a breathtaking celestial scene.

Advanced Calendar Functionality

The calendar display of the Saxonia Annual Calendar is programmed for seamless transitions between the last days of the month and the start of the next. It intelligently identifies both 30-day and 31-day months, needing adjustments only once annually—when switching from February 28 (or 29 in a leap year) to March 1.

User-Friendly Adjustments

Adding to its ease of use, the mechanism created by Lange allows individual adjustments of both the calendar and moonphase displays via dedicated push buttons. A collective advancement of displays can also be facilitated using the push button at the 10 o'clock position, enhancing user experience significantly.

Elegant Design

What sets the Saxonia Annual Calendar apart is its clarity of design. The harmonious aesthetic encapsulates timeless beauty while delivering various calendar information efficiently. Subtle minute markers, baton-shaped applied indices, and prominent lancet hands accentuate the watch’s elegant appeal. The precisely curated dial layout reflects a beautifully balanced design that merges sophistication with functionality, where each detailing, such as the sub-dials for the day of the week and month, is meticulously shaped and adorned.

Internal Mastery

The timepiece houses the new in-house Caliber L207.1, reflecting Lange’s high standards of design and craft, ensuring seamless operation with features like a platinum 950 bidirectional winding rotor and a classic balance escapement oscillating at 21,600 vibrations per hour. When fully wound, it offers a power reserve of up to 60 hours, embodying Lange's commitment to excellence in horology.

Aesthetic Appeal

The design's understated elegance is matched by an aesthetic value reflected through the sapphire case back. This reveals the elaborate finishing embodying the rich tradition of precision watchmaking tracing back to the royal court of Saxony in the 19th century.

Size and Wearability

Comfortably sized at 36.0 mm in diameter and 9.8 mm in thickness, the Saxonia Annual Calendar is designed for effortless wearing, fitting under shirt cuffs perfectly. Its refined lugs and slim bezel enhance the timepiece's stylish yet understated character.

Beautiful Combinations

The Saxonia Annual Calendar presents unmatched combinations of materials and colors, creating a sophisticated and elegant appearance. The pink gold variant emphasizes warmth with a cool gray-tone dial, while the white gold model exudes a discreetly noble aura with its silver-tone dial.
