All the 2026 A. Lange & Söhne Releases

Powerfunk Saturday, September 5th, 2026 8 min. read

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.

Platinum Triple Split

Rattrapante (split-seconds) chronographs are meant to time two events at once. They have two central seconds hands. You start both together, stop one to read an intermediate time, and let the other keep running. Press the chrono pusher again, and the stopped hand catches up. It’s simple to use, but incredibly complex to make, which is why split-seconds chronos usually cost six figures.

But the A. Lange & Söhne Triple Split, first seen in 2018, takes it way further. The chrono minute and chrono hour hands have the split function as well. And there’s a power reserve indicator at 6 o’clock to top it all off.

Until now, only 200 Triple Splits had ever been made–100 in pink gold and 100 in white gold. And for 2026, A. Lange & Söhne announced that they will make 100 platinum Triple Splits. Technically, the Triple Split is part of the Saxonia model family.

The mechanics of the platinum Triple Split are identical to the two previous gold editions. Its 43.2 mm × 15.6 mm case houses the same L132.1 movement–567 parts, 46 jewels, and a 55-hour power reserve. Although the price is “on request,” expect a figure north of $200,000 for the 2026 A. Lange & Söhne Platinum Triple Split. Even a pre-owned gold one will cost you over $150,000.

1815 Up/Down in 37.5mm

Lange’s two most straightforward round dress watch families are the Saxonia and the 1815, which are mostly visually differentiated from each other by their hour markers. The 1815 has elegant Arabic numerals, while the Saxonia has simple sticks. The current 1815 family ranges in diameter from 34mm (a slim, time-only version) to 41.9mm (a rattrapante perpetual calendar) and the 2026 A. Lange & Söhne 1815 Up/Down releases sit right in the middle of that range at 37.5mm:

The “Up/Down” moniker refers to the power reserve indicator on the dial, and the existing 39mm 1815 Up/Down is still in the regular Lange catalog. The 37.5mm 1815 Up/Down released in September 2026, however, will only be made in 600 pieces (half in pink gold, half in white gold). The dial is a deep blue color with contrasting silver subdials.

This could be considered a “third-generation” 1815 Up/Down, although it has the same manual-wind L051.2 movement and 8.7mm case height as the second (39mm) generation, which launched in 2013. The original 1815 Up/Down was released in 1996 with a 35.9mm case, and there was also a 37.5mm “Tribute to Walter Lange” version made in 2006. That isn’t the same 37.5mm case as the modern one, though, which as expected features a sapphire exhibition caseback. List price is €44,700.

2026 A. Lange & Söhne Cabaret Tourbillon Honeygold

Collectors generally expect the seconds hands of high-end mechanical watches to “hack”–meaning they stop when the crown is pulled out so you can set time to the exact second. But on watches with tourbillons, the entire tourbillon cage itself is usually what acts as the seconds hand. So, having a tourbillon historically meant foregoing the hacking seconds feature–mechanically stopping the entire tourbillon cage is a major engineering feat. But that’s exactly what A. Lange & Söhne accomplished with the release of the 2008 Cabaret Tourbillon.

The rectangular Cabaret line was phased out entirely in the early 2010s, but for 2026, A. Lange & Söhne has revived it in the form of a limited-edition Cabaret Tourbillon in 18k Honeygold (a light-hued proprietary gold alloy). Its case width of 29.5mm sounds small, but is firmly in “typical men’s size” territory for rectangular watches, which tend to “wear larger” than round ones.

The two subdials staggered above the tourbillon are for running seconds (left) and power reserve (right), and they balance the dial nicely with the big date near 12 o’clock.

The beautiful hand-wound L042.1 movement offers an impressive 120 hours of power reserve thanks to twin barrels. The 2026 A. Lange & Söhne Cabaret Tourbillon Honeygold is limited to 50 pieces and will only be sold at Lange boutiques, with a price listed as “on request.”

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 $63,000 and trade closer to $45,000 in the real world.
