1815 Annual Calendar
A. Lange & Söhne 2017
1815 Quantième Annuel
The second timepiece from A. Lange & Söhne to
propose annual calendar functions, the 1815 Annual Calendar borrows the classic
design and style principles of the 1815 family. This new model proposes a
manual-wind movement with an analogue date, thus distinguishing it from the
Saxonia Annual Calendar from 2010, which has an automatic movement and outsize
date. The hand-winding is also a subtle tribute to Ferdinand Adolph Lange, who
in 1866 obtained a United States patent for a crown-winding mechanism to
replace the then traditional system of winding with a key. This annual calendar
watch also presents a precision moon phase, accurate for 122.6 years, which has
been incorporated into the small seconds subdial at 6 o'Clock. The case is
proposed in either white gold or pink gold.
