There are a few issues, IMHO
Jul 05, 2020,14:01 PM
Primarily, as it's a manual wind piece (I still don't understand the utility and desirability of perpetuals and annuals which are not automatics), winding it should be a pleasure. Instead, with its rather small crown coupled with the inordinate number of turns necessary to fully wind its mainspring each day (75+), it becomes a chore, rather than a pleasure, in the morning. And must it shout "Annual Calendar" and yet fail to abbreviate the name of each month? To me, the Saxonia Annual makes more sense, and is handsomer, to boot.

One day I’ll buy it but that might take a while. Reason is that we’ve started a project to built a special one off only watch. With some complications on it that are pretty rare. I can’t predict if we’ll be able to complete the project as there are severa...

And the Saxonia Annual Calendar...

...which I find much cleaner and easier to read. I've tried this one on, and the sub-dials are difficult to read for me, even with reading glasses. And do they really need to spell out 'Annual Calendar' on the face? We can debate manual vs automatic, but ...
Maybe put the days of the week there...

...yes, there would be two kinds of information in a single sub-dial, but Patek does it all the time and it looks great. But, of course, you didn't have the choice of a custom dial : )
And the outsize date
By: Zeitstuck : July 5th, 2020-13:45
I am a sucker for Lange's outsize date. Though the 1815 execution is beautiful, the date window is so perfectly done by Lange that it is hard to pass it up for a watch like this without it
Thanks
