The wait is almost over! WatchTime New York, America’s largest luxury watch show, kicks off tonight at Manhattan’s Gotham Hall and continues tomorrow. Thirty watch brands will be on hand to show off their newest timepiece treasures; here we showcase each brand’s highlight model, from A. Lange to Zenith.
A. Lange & So?hne?s 1815 Annual Calendar is its first annual calendar watch with an analog date function. It is powered by a manually wound movement (Caliber L051.3) and shows the date in an elegant, analog style, on two horizontally aligned subdials. The watch?s case (in white gold or rose gold) measures 40 mm in diameter. The argente?-colored dial, made of solid silver, features blued-steel hands, black Arabic numerals, and a peripheral railway-track minutes scale. The two subdials use golden hands to indicate the day and date at 9 o?clock, and the month at 3 o?clock. A third subdial at 6 o?clock hosts the moon-phase display ?calculated to remain accurate for 122.6 years?as well as the running seconds counter. In-house Caliber L051.3, visible through a sapphire exhibition caseback, is a slender 5.7 mm thick, which includes a calendar module only 1.4 mm in height. Fully wound, the manual-wound movement carries a power reserve of 72 hours. A. Lange & Sohne 1815 Annual Calendar in rose gold (Ref. 238.032)
