Where I finally disagree with Nicolas

Hi Nicolas,

I don't agree with you and here is why:

What do you have to do with an annual calendar that you don't have to do with a perpetual calendar?

Once a year (and no more) you have to set the date.

Then the magic of a perpetual calendar is superior, but the magic has to face another truth: the perpetual calendar has to be serviced at least every 5 to 10 years, or sooner than that sometimes. Exactly like an annual calendar I admit.

So I see the perpetual calendar like an ultimate calendar (specially in the 5207!  ) but on a daily basis the annual calendar brings nearly the same result for half the price.

When JLC (or PP) will produce a lubrication free perpetual calendar that will be serviced every 100 years, it will make more sense to me.

The PC is like a DBS (the car, not the watch) while the AC would be a Vantage V8! The DBS may be more prestigious, but does it give more pleasure than a smaller V8?

Don't take me wrong, I'd love to own and wear a PC, but a 5396W or R would make my day!

Cheers
