Glashutte Original - Week Calendar: change to W01

Week Calendar: change to W01

Hi guys!

I'm a lover of watchmaking and GO is a little jewel: last year for a very important I bought a Senator Navigator Perpetual, and I love it (apart it runs too speedy, around 13 sec/day... too much for a watch of this level :-( - now it is in Glashutte Factory, I hope it will came back more precisely!)

I write because... I find the Week Calendar very interesting, but I have a big doubt...
Normally every year is diveded by 52 weeks, and rarely by 53: when, at the end of each year, the Week Calendar changes its indication to "01"?
Does it change to 01 when the W52 is finished, or I must wait the finish of W53?
I don't know when/how this change happens...
Is there anyone who can explane me this point?

I imagine that the big change will happens at the end of the W52, so I can look at the wonderful change from W52 to W01... but in the rare case of a year with 53 weeks? Maybe I'm wrong with my imagination

Cheers,

massimiliano

. . . it's my understanding that the Calendar Week movement compensates for the rare year with 53 weeks so long as it's properly set on January 1st. I will double-check for you with Our Man in Glashütte. The Calendar Week has an incredibly complex movemen...

Go ahead and say it Art. When expressing measures Americans are plain backwards! ;-)

The Senator Calendar Week has been on my RADAR for sometime now. I like it very much! As well as the concept of expressing time in weeks. Your SI, 24 h/52-53 week friend, -- Richard.

Thank you very much Art for your answer! I'm really curious to know how to manage the last week of the year... I have another question: do you know if is it possible to change the original strap of the Senator with another kind of strap, without the "stra...

Hi, Massi - the Senator Navigator perpetual comes . . .

. . . with straps that don't conform to the curvature of the case, unlike other Senators in the 40 mm case size. Is this what you're referring to? G O refers to these straps as being made for "integrated lugs". I don't believe G O offers straps that fit t...

Hallo Art

Hallo Art! In effect my Navigator Perpetual has a wonderful strap, without the contour of the shape of the case: I don't like this design and it doesn't feel good in the wrist, too hard because it doesn't bend mild around the wrist (...this is my personal...

It's a great watch, very under appreciated.

Only Germans and Nordic countries use the calendar week? Great for project management and academics following trimesters. Enjoy the watch. Strapwise, why not custom make one?

...also in Italy

Not only... in Italy (at least north Italy) we use the calendar week for all the foresee, planning and delivery time: this is true in particular for big/medium factories, where you can find very well organized structures. We work with the same concept (we...
