The 1815 Annual Calendar comes with analog displays for the date, day of week, and month, as well as a moon-phase display calculated to remain accurate for 122.6 years. It comes with an elaborate calendar mechanism that automatically recognizes which months have 30 and 31 days; indeed, the display needs to be manually adjusted only once a year, at the transition from the last day of February to the first day of March.

The argenté-coloured dial makes an impression too, and with the traditional railway-track minute scale, Arabic numerals, and the axially symmetric configuration of the three auxiliary dials, it represents a subtle tribute to A. Lange & Söhne founder Ferdinand Adolph Lange, whose birth year is part of the watch family's name.
