All the 2026 A. Lange & Söhne Releases

When it comes to hand-finishing luxury watch movements, Glashütte-based A. Lange & Söhne is one of the standard setters of the industry. As a conservative brand, their novelties tend to be evolutionary, and the 2026 A. Lange & Söhne releases are no exception. Here are all the details on what they’ve released this year.

Lange 1 Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar “Lumen”

A. Lange & Söhne “Lumen” models, the first of which debuted in 2013, have dials made of coated sapphire crystal that offer a smokey translucent view of the impressive movements within. Generously lumed subdials underneath provide a cool glowing aesthetic in low light. For 2026, the A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1 Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar “Lumen” combines this look with Lange’s unique tourbillon+perpetual calendar layout.

Ref. 720.035FE has the same 41.9mm case diameter that the Lange 1 Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar has had since its 2012 debut, once again in solid 950 platinum. Case height has grown from 12.2mm to 13.0mm, in part because of the sapphire dial.

But some of that thickness can be attributed to the clever day/night indicator that Lange has layered underneath the moonphase display. The day/night disc is painted a gradient of light-to-dark blue, and it makes one full rotation per 24 hours, thus subtly representing the time of day behind the moon. A. Lange & Söhne first used this technique on the Lange 1 Moon Phase in 2017.

Like all Lange 1 models, ref. 720.035FE sports an off-center big date. And like all Lange 1 perpetual calendars, the month is displayed with a concentric ring around the dial. A triangle at 6 o’clock (inside which the year indicator is displayed) points to the current month.

The month doesn’t continuously rotate slowly; rather it jumps at the end of each month. That adds complexity because it requires a dedicated accumulator spring to deliver the massive torque needed for an instantaneous leap of the entire outer chapter.

The automatic L225.1 movement inside is new, although spec-wise it’s not much different than the preceding L082.1. It has the same 50-hour power reserve, 21,600 vph frequency, and complication architecture. But it has been significantly re-engineered to accommodate the Lumen’s transparent sapphire dial and luminous displays. Lange has also added more mirror polishing.

Like all Lumen models, the 2026 A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1 Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar “Lumen” is offered on a strap only–no bracelets. In this case it’s a black alligator strap with a folding platinum clasp. And like almost all Lange releases these days, price is “on request” but you can expect a $500,000 ballpark. Only 50 will be made.

Saxonia Annual Calendar

A. Lange & Söhne made the Saxonia Annual Calendar from 2010-2021, sporting a classic round 38.5mm case made of gold or platinum. After a five-year hiatus, for 2026 A. Lange & Söhne has revived the Saxonia Annual Calendar in a slightly smaller 36mm case.

Offered in white gold with a silver dial (ref. 331.026 E) or pink gold with a slate dial (ref. 331.033 E), the 2026 Saxonia Annual Calendar manages to keep the same 9.8mm thickness, even though it now has a central rotor vs. the micro-rotor configuration of the original.

The dial layout is unchanged: month subdial at 3 o’clock, running seconds+moonphase subdial at 6 o’clock, day-of-the-week subdial at 9 o’clock, and Lange’s classic two-disc big date display at 12 o’clock.

While the new L207.1 movement is beautifully finished, unfortunately it lacks the Zero-Reset feature of its predecessor, the L085.1, which caused the seconds hand to conveniently reset to 0 when setting the time. On the plus side, power reserve has grown from 46 hours to 60 hours.

As with all annual calendar watches, the movement correctly adjusts for the length of all 30-day and 31-day months, so unlike a typical date watch (which has to treat all months as 31 days) you don’t have to advance the date at the end of a 30-day month. But you do have to set the date every March 1, because it’s not a perpetual calendar. But annual calendars, due to having fewer necessary gears for date operation, are inherently more robust than perpetuals.

Expect the 2026 A. Lange & Söhne 36mm Saxonia Annual Calendar to retail for around $60,000 and trade closer to $40,000 in the real world.
