Not every important watch announces itself loudly. The Saxonia Annual Calendar, new for Watches and Wonders Geneva 2026, makes its case through proportion, legibility, and the quiet confidence of a 36 mm case that carries an annual calendar, moon phase, and outsize date without appearing to break a sweat.
Things to Know About the Watch
The dial layout prioritizes clarity above all: outsize date at 12, day-of-week subdial at 9, month subdial at 3, subsidiary seconds and moon phase at 6. The annual calendar mechanism automatically accounts for months of 30 and 31 days, requiring only a single manual correction annually—from the last day of February to the first of March. All indications can be advanced collectively via a pusher at 10 o'clock, or individually through dedicated correctors.
The moon-phase display uses a deep-blue coated gold lunar disc with 428 stars replicating the Milky Way; accuracy is one day's deviation per 122.6 years. Dial finishing involves two intensities of azurage—finer on the circumferential rings, more pronounced on the inner subdial surfaces—creating a three-dimensional depth that rewards close attention. Two references are offered: white gold with an argenté dial, and pink gold with a grey dial. Both wear on hand-stitched reddish-brown alligator straps with matching gold prong buckles. At 36mm diameter and 9.8mm thick, it slips under a shirt cuff with ease.
The Movement
Calibre L207.1 is a new self-winding manufacture movement, assembled twice and finished to the full Lange standard. The 30.4mm, 5.7mm-tall movement runs at 21,600 vph across 491 components, with a 950 platinum centrifugal mass on the unidirectional rotor and a 60-hour power reserve. The hand-engraved balance cock, screwed gold chatons, and Saxon finishing traditions visible through the sapphire caseback provide the expected counterpoint to the restrained dial face.
Summary & Price
The Saxonia Annual Calendar is Lange at its most disciplined—substantial complication delivered without visual clamour, in a case sized for actual wrists.
