Same issue with my Langematik (when I owned it).
For all its beauty, the movement had a flat balance spring, a lever regulator, and a lot of hardware sticking out of its balance wheel. It was never going to be a superior timekeeper.
New Owner of a Lange Saxonia Annual Calenda; Question about accuracy please.
I am not an accuracy freak. I got over that many years ago. However with my new to me Lange AC I am having some trouble. It’s accuracy is extremely dependent on Position. Overnight (8hrs) it will gain 7 seconds when placed dial down. Dial up it loses 3 se...

My 1815 runs 5.1 secs fast per day
Constantly - it is the same every day....I’ve sent it in more than once to get it regulated and each time it comes back still behaving the same way. I’ve accepted it and just adjust the watch once every two weeks....have been doing it for 3 years now ;-) ...

I'd get it demagnetized and then get anyone with a timing machine to check it out in different positions when fully wound. I'd do that before sending it in because once you send it in, you'll be without if for several months.
My Saxonia Annual Calendar needs service for accuracy
My Saxonia Annal Calendar also has accuracy issues and I planned to send it in for service. The pandemic has made me tolerate this - checking and correcting time every couple days as necessary. I wondered if magnetization caused this and went through Hodi...
