A. Lange & Sohne has introduced a new Saxonia at SIHH 2010, the Saxonia Annual Calendar. They have already offered a Perpetual Calendar function (which corrects for a period of many years) in the past, but now for the first time, they are offering an Annual Calendar function (only needs to be corrected once per year) in one of their timepieces. Offered first by Patek Philippe, in 1996, the Annual Calendar complication is now widely regarded as an important function in high-end watches. The new Saxonia Annual Calendar also offers a moonphase indicator and Lange's iconic outsize date window. Press Release PDFRetail is TBDSource: A. Lange & Sohne

Lange & Sohne Lange 1 Tourbillon watch belongs to the gorgeous Homage to F.A.Lange collection.Perfectly executed and decorated, the watch also features a unique L961.2 manufacture caliber with a one minute tourbillon with stop seconds function.As you probably know, all tourbillon watches have a serious disadvantage: due to their nature, these little pieces of technical marvel could not be stopped, making it impossible to set the watch to the second. Lange’s new invention, a stop seconds mechanism, successfully overcomes this flaw.Made in honey-colored hard-to-scratch gold, the watch will be available only in a limited lot of 150 pieces. Recommended street price and delivery date are yet to be announced.
