One of the most complex complications in watchmaking, perpetual calendars steal the show at Watches & Wonders 2021
You won't have to reset your watch with one of these perpetual calendar timepieces. Presented at Watches & Wonders 2021, these creations correctly display the month, date and day, with some even featuring a leap year indicator. They don't require any fine-tuning––well, at least not for up to 100 years, at which point they need to be adjusted by just one day.

Lange 1 Perpetual Calendar by A Lange & Söhne
Only a few thousand watches come out of A Lange & Söhne's workshop every year. The German company, which was established in 1869, is one of watchmaking's most respected. The pictured perpetual calendar has been added to the watchmaker's iconic Lange 1 collection, which made its debut in 2000, and a new month indication has been designed underneath its bezel. There are also days-of-the-week, leap-year and moon-phase displays with a day/night indicator. This watch measures a sizeable 41.9 mm and comes in pink gold with a grey-silver dial or white gold with a salmon dial. The latter is limited to 150 pieces.
