The A. Lange & Söhne 1815 Annual Calendar 238.026E exemplifies traditional watchmaking craftsmanship with refined complications and classic design. Housed in an 18k white gold case, this timepiece features a 40mm diameter, striking a balance between modern proportions and timeless elegance. The silver dial, with its fine-grained finish, serves as a sophisticated backdrop for the meticulously arranged annual calendar and moon phase indicators.
The calendar function displays the day, date, and month with precision, requiring adjustment only once a year. The moon phase complication, accurate for over 100 years, adds a poetic touch to the dial’s balanced layout. Blue-steel hands and printed Arabic numerals complete the aesthetic, reflecting the 1815 collection’s homage to traditional pocket watches. Paired with a hand-stitched alligator leather strap, this model is perfect for collectors who value horological excellence and understated luxury in equal measure.
