An intermediate solution with minimal compromise, the annual calendar still brings great watchmaking satisfactionįinally comes the intermediate type of watches, the annual calendars or calendriers annuels. And even in that case, some rare watches have been invented with secular calendars.
These watches only require one adjustment per 100 years, during so-called secular years (an exception to the rule of the leap year).
On the other side of the spectrum is the perpetual calendar or calendrier perpétuel, a complex, often fragile and time-consuming kind of watch that has the capacity to automatically adjust the date depending on the length of the month, even in February, whether it has 28 or 29 days when leap years occur. The Senator Excellence Perpetual Calendar is the brand’s most complex type of calendar watch and displays all necessary indications (date, day, month, leap year) There’s nothing truly complex in these watches, which require adjustments on all months with less than 31 days (February, April, June, September, November).
These watches, often by the mean of a pointer date and two windows, display the date, the day of the week and the month. Proper calendar watches often start with the so-called complete, full or triple calendar watches – all covering the exact same complication (and if you want to increase your French knowledge, these watches are called quantième complet). The second step is the day-date, which only adds the indication of the day of the week, without much mechanical wonder behind it. The most common complication of a watch (anything in addition to the display of the time) is the date, which represents the first step into calendar watches.Įven with its Panorama Date, the PanoMaticLunar is a simple calendar watch, which only shows the date. Without going into the details about how to display a date – whether thanks to a window, a central hand or a subdial with a so-called pointer date feature – let’s categorize things a bit.
