A. Lange & Söhne 1815 Annual Calendar 238.032

About This Watch

The A. Lange & Söhne 1815 Annual Calendar combines a useful annual calendar complication with the classical design language of the 1815 collection. The manually wound caliber L051.3 displays day, date, month, and moon phase, requiring correction only once per year at the end of February. The dial layout demonstrates Lange's design mastery: month at 12, day at 9, date at 3, and moon phase at 6, creating a symmetrical arrangement that is both informative and aesthetically balanced. The 40mm rose gold case and silver dial with printed numerals and railroad chapter ring evoke the precision instruments of 19th-century Saxony. The manually wound movement provides a 72-hour power reserve, ample for weekend wear. Through the sapphire caseback, the movement reveals hand-engraving on the balance cock, Glashütte ribbing on the three-quarter plate, and the sophisticated annual calendar mechanism. The 1815 Annual Calendar is ideal for the collector who wants a practical calendar complication within a classically proportioned watch that honors the traditions of German horology.
