My Suggestion: Consider Vintage JLC Complete Calendars

Hi Ben,

Good choice, the Master Calendar is a JLC classic and a tremendously charismatic, versatile piece. The complication is useful every day of the year, and the size wears well on most wrists.

While I cannot add much to what Nicolas and Ruckdee have already suggested, I would add that you should consider the vast array of vintage JLC calendar watches that comprise the family tree of the current Master Calendar.

As Nicolas related, the calendar watch is a JLC tradition with over six decades of precedent, and the range of watches using partial and triple calendar movements is enormous. Steel, several types of gold, and even platinum variants have been made; non-round watches have been made; different color dials have been made; day/month displays in several languages are available; case sizes vary by era; different lug, crown, and case shapes have come and gone throughout this series.

If you already find the Master Calendar appealing but feel that a few changes would enhance the watch to your liking, check out JLC's many past models in this series, and you'll probably find *exactly* the JLC calendar you desire.

Best,

Tim
