New A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1 Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar "Lumen" & Saxonia Annual Calendar 36mm

There are watches. And then there are A. Lange & Söhne watches. At Watches and Wonders 2026, Time+Tide's Andrew McUtchen caught up with CEO Wilhelm Schmid to dig into the two releases that have the watch world talking — and the one that cast its usual long shadow over everything else in the room. First up: the Saxonia Annual Calendar. It's easy to overlook when there's a Lumen on the table, but that would be a mistake. Director of Product Development Anthony de Haas has quietly solved one of the great frustrations of calendar ownership — that Monday morning panic when you realise you haven't worn it since the weekend and now have to reset everything. One crown pull, one button press. Done. Every complication advances by a single day. It sounds simple. At Lange, simple is never simple. Then there's the main event: the Lange 1 Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar Lumen. Platinum on the wrist. A moon phase that doubles as a day/night indicator. Applied numerals back-lumed so the lume doesn't interrupt the dial's perfection. A hack seconds feature that stops the hand dead so you can set it properly. And a case that somehow wears smaller than its dimensions should allow. Schmid also addressed the Odysseus — Lange's titanium and gold sports playground — head-on. More production? More references? He was shaking his head before the question was even finished. And in a moment that felt genuinely rare in the current media landscape: a frank conversation about why their previous interview became the most-watched organic watch video of 2025. Authenticity. Passion. No pre-talk. In a world drowning in AI content, two people who actually care about what they're discussing. This is A. Lange & Söhne at Watches and Wonders 2026. ▶ Subscribe for more independent watch journalism that is — as promised — entirely human. 🔔 Hit the bell so you never miss a Time+Tide video. ------------------------------- https://www.alange-soehne.com/eu-en/watches-and-wonders ------------------------------- BRAND - A.
