Yes, that’s right, the pushers activate the day and week
There are no corrector pins and therefore no need for a stylus.
If they had included a date, I think it would have required a significant redesign of the movement and the dial. The 1815 line does not use an oversized date, so perhaps the most realistic implementation would have been a dual sub-dial layout similar to the 1815 up/down, but with day/date on the left, and running seconds on the right.

Small movement but unique complication
There is only one similar Vacheron 47052, this is really a niche complication which I love
A remarkable early special edition
I have this watch in the rose gold edition, and once you have it in your hands, none of the criticisms matter. On the dial side, the 38.5mm size is the perfectly proportioned sweet spot. Better than the 36mm and 40mm 1815s. On the back, unlike in the pict...

weekly calendar was ever made by Lange. For most watches, I prefer no date, but if there is a Date, I love the outsize date! This piece is extra cool to me for a couple reasons 1) there is no date; just day and week number (unlike the patek 5212, which I ...

There are no corrector pins and therefore no need for a stylus. I am also glad they did not include a date function, since this watch was exclusive to the local market and not designed to appease international collectors. If they had included a date, I th...
