A. Lange & Söhne is today one of the most distinguished and appreciated watchmakers in existence, focused on highly elegant and complicated timepieces. Among the entire production of the house, the annual calendar reference 330.026 can be considered one of those which best embodies this concept. The entire architecture of the piece exudes restrained elegance and flair. The case is only apparently very simple in construction. In-depth analysis highlights details such as the mirror/satin finishes in contrast with each other, and the subtle double beveling of the lugs. The dial is a masterpiece of elegance: the two subsidiary counters at 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock are positioned slightly below the center of the dial, leaving room on the top half for the oversized date - a typical A. Lange & Söhne aesthetic canon - and the signature, which perfectly balance the overall design of the dial.
