A. Lange & Söhne

More about it and some 2017 novelties very shorty... Fx ...

Somehow I find the alange&sohne logo coupled with the subdials at 9 and 3 is just too much to digested.. Also a 24 Hr indicator instead of the "annual cal" text would have worked better..

The 1815 aesthetic seems to work better, to me, for this type of complication; i.e., Calendar Watches such as this and the perpetuals. I guess it's because I find the PW model so attractive. Thanks for posting this, Fx. I look forward to your review.

This one just misses somehow.

If saxonia ac came after this one, many would say the outsize date is a huge improvement; cleaning up the dial, conferring balance, and come on... why not go w/ outsize date over date dial.

Seen it, done it, wore it kind a feeling. Lange should be doing better. IMHO.

...as much as I like AL&S and annuals. Pity.

Better then last iteration, but whats with the red 1 and black 31 for date. Might as well have a black 3 and red 1. And do i have to shout to the world its a annual calender? Its like a 1990s Japanese car that wears 16V, turbo, twin cam badges at the rear... 

Someone above suggested the space could have been used for a "day/night" indication and I would agree.

i love the 1815 series and the dial and font This AC seems a bit cluttered for me though. I can see it's appeal from a vintage inspired standpoint but I still prefer the Saxonia AC Cheers Robin

Unfortunately. Don't think there is any designs where there is the large date together with the regular Arabic numerals around the dial.
