How long for a Perpetual Calendar to make the Feb/Mar change?
For a Moser Perpetual 1: instantaneous
For a GO Senator Perpetual: about 6 hours. The change started a little after 7 PM. Here's the 29th showing perfectly centered...
You can tell it is for the current year and not a leap year due to the black dot in the year indicator aperture below the GO logo. It is amusing to see the dates marching through the 31st of February
I wore the GO for the evening of Feb 28, since it provides many opportunities for enjoying the changeover. With the Moser, a blink and you've missed it.
How long did yours take?

not on the exact stroke of midnight
for the Moser. So much for "instantaneous" - with a whole minute too late - and still the date had not sprung! At least according to your picture. I tried to but could not stay up that late for the ceremony, although on the following morning was pleased (...
Yeah, it was a long 51 second wait until the changeover...
but indeed, instantaneous :)
Is a real pleasure to attend such an intense work!
After all, it must advance three steps the disc of the units and two steps the disc of the tens (as well as day and month... the moon disc moves at about 4 AM): really a hard work... and long enough to appreciate it! Best, massi
Sorry, I was asleep as it was midnight Down Under:)
I really like this Moser. The GO is not bad either;) Cheers Francois from Down Under
For the first time in ten years, I missed wearing a perpetual . . .
. . . when it matters. That won't happen again! Embarrassed, Art
Perpetual change
On my AP Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar it switched over at midnight except for the month which took a few minutes longer. I'll post the pics in the AP forum later this week. Regards, Ed
I cheated ...
I put on my perpetual only yesterday, so I passed the February/March change by means of the quicksetting mechanism. Normally, it needs about two hours for this. Marcus
Well, I sort of cheated too...
While the Moser video was shot in real time on Feb 28, I did advance the time about 6 hours to 11:55 PM, after getting the lighting and camera all set up. I wanted to make I captured the changeover - which had a better chance of success if done before enj...
Impressive
Indeed the Moser perpetual is impressive and quite subtle. I may have to rethink my wishlist... Thanks for this video. Best, Stan
