Calendar watches are one of the most popular and valuable complications out there. There is a wide variety available for different types of calendar watches. From the most basic simple date watches to more complex weekly or perpetual calendars, there are many options to choose from. Today we want to focus your attention on three of the most common types of calendar watches; complete, annual, and perpetual calendars, with suitable examples.
COMPLETE CALENDAR
Beginning at the most basic and straightforward of the three is the complete calendar, also called the triple calendar. With this complication, the watch provides the date, day, and month, along with a moon phase or any other additional functions that makes it a full (complete) calendar. But as the mechanism does not recognise the differing lengths of the month and the leap year cycles, the wearer must manually correct the dates five times a year.
JAEGER-LECOULTRE MASTER CONTROL CALENDAR
Following up on Jaeger-LeCoultre's history of creating triple calendar moon-phase movements in the 1940s and 50s, the Swiss watch brand brings this novel timepiece to the 21st century with the launch of the new Master Control Calendar. The elegant watch, set with a complete calendar, is showcased via the finely balanced classical dial layout. It includes the date function present around the periphery indicated via a red-tipped hand, the day of the week and month on the upper part of the dial, and a moon phase window set within a small seconds subdial at 6 o'clock.
