I like this AC better than the Saxonia.
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.
A fresh wristshot of the 1815 Annual Calendar
More about it and some 2017 novelties very shorty... Fx ...
Find this too busy..
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..

Agreed
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.
Pfff, I find it lacking inspiration
Seen it, done it, wore it kind a feeling. Lange should be doing better. IMHO.
Better, but still lacking
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...
de Haas has stated that the words are there for balance.
Someone above suggested the space could have been used for a "day/night" indication and I would agree.
Great pic Fx
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
Date can be quite hard to see here.
Unfortunately. Don't think there is any designs where there is the large date together with the regular Arabic numerals around the dial.
