SIHH: Lange’s New Saxonia Annual Calendar
At SIHH today Lange unveiled their new automatic winding Saxonia Annual Calendar. Available in white gold and in pink gold, the diameter is a modest 38.5mm, but the design focus was legibility and the watch is quite easy to read. The look is pure Lange and this piece offers much of the visual appeal of its perpetual calendar big brother. The movement features the famous Sax-O-Mat zero reset function which stops the movement when the crown is pulled out and resets the seconds hand to zero to allow easy syncronization with a reference time signal. The moon phase is accurate to within 1 day in 122 years. As an annual calendar, the date needs to be adjusted just once per yearplete technical information appears below the images, which you may enlarge with a click.The Saxonia Annual Calendar is priced at 27,500 euro in both white gold and pink gold.Technical DetailsMovement: Lange manufacture calibre L085.1 SAX-0-MAT, self-winding, crafted to the most exacting Lange quality standards and la

Hands-On: With The A. Lange & S?hne Richard Lange Perpetual Calendar Terraluna (Live Pics & Pricing)
One of the most interesting complicated watches to come out of SIHH 2014 is without a doubt the Richard Lange Perpetual Calendar Terraluna from A. Lange & Söhne. It uses a regulator-style dial layout with the addition of a perpetual calendar, a 14-day power reserve, a constant force escapement, and a graphic orbital moonphase complication right on the plate of the movement. This is an absolute beast of a watch and here we have a ton of live photos and all the gritty details for you. 2 OF 22 A. Lange & S?hne Richard Lange Perpetual Calendar Terraluna On The Wrist The first thing you'll notice looking at the Terraluna is just how big it is. At 45.5mm in diameter and 16.5mm thick, the Terraluna is bigger than what most will want to wear on a daily basis. It sits about as well on the wrist as one can hope for at this size, but it's not sliding under any cuffs. The two advantages to the size though are the clarity of the relatively busy dial and the a

help... watch stops on my winder.
Hello. I just acquired an early 2000s Seamaster 120 with caliber 1120 movement. The watch hasn't been serviced according to the previous owner. I will be getting this done sooner than later. Anyway, for Christmas, my wife gave me a Brookstone watch winder which I am now using. On about 1150 revs per day, my Rolex Sub stays perfectly wound and on time. Twice in the past week, I have come to find my Omega stopped on the winder. Both times I have hand wound between 40 and 50 turns. Within 10 or so turns, it starts up. I am afraid that the winder is not winding the watch. Everything I can find says it should be set for 600 to 800 TPD. At 1150 TPD, it is stopping. On a caliber 1120 movement, how many turns by hand is a full wind? I just assumed 40 to 50. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
