Let's share the full calendars in our collections this week - triple dates, annuals, and perpetuals. And for those who don't own one, your watch du jour, please, along with a mention of any watch capable of tracking months that might find a spot on your wish list.
There's something magical about the way calendars . . .
Ω AT annual calendar
. . . switch from month to month. My fascination . . .
. . . never dims.

Let me go early, if not first
will be busy later today, so I might as well…
The closest to a Calendar watch I can offer is this one.
A rather unique "perpetual calendar" with a bit of manual interaction 
The GP Gyrodate. As you can see, it is the 22nd and it is a Thursday and more sophisticated than other perpetual calendar watches, I can immediately tell you the Day for every date of the month and even for the next/previous month but that needs some thinking, so let's skip that.
HAGWE,

A calendar that requires thought . . .
. . . to set - clever! Like a circular slide rule . . .
Really like that Gyrodate.. It is so "analogue".. A calendar with a little riddle for the owner.. Well played, my friend ! :)) [nt]

A memorable day. This shot was right before leaving for SIHH and a trip home for this JLC,
just a visit, and a great one it was to meet the watchmakers that created this beauty.
Take care,
Tim
May be the second post, tried an edit, hope it worked.

Thanks, Tim - the edit . . .
. . . worked like a charm.
That might just be the ideal travelers watch . . . especially for sleepy-heads like me!

Looks like I did not delete this previous post? We just had a small power failure, must
have gone to a P channel instead of N……(semiconductor talk).

Hi Fi wins for tubes. Silicon wins for computers. The rest is an endless discussion over
beers.
Great shot by the way.

Oh, that image was lifted from Google search . . .
. . . but it is an amplifier I'd love to own - a Berning ZH270.

Hi Art.
It is a great alarm and still wakes you up in the vibrate mode for plane, train, auto or hanging out naps. One of my watches to be passed to the boys, in a few decades!

Great watch
Hi
Looks great - really like the combination of perpetual calendar and alarm.
Also like the switch to make the alarm more subtle by just vibrating- is there a significant difference between the two settings?
Cheers

Yes!
The vibrate will wake you up when worn, the alarm is quite loud when placed on its back on a hard surface, like a glass or wood night table. This JLC has kept me on time for many a meeting or wake up call when the front desk has failed or there is a power outage. A great back up.
Take care,
Tim
The Grand Memovox!
So cool to be able to choose between signal and vibration!

It works at The Grand Hotel in Stockholm very well, best in the rooms with a Sea view!
Keep those signature wristscans coming, please!
Best,
Tim
So many watches, so little time to wear them all ;0)...
I will be in Paris before SIHH, this time we have a meal Sir. Maybe close to AdM? I think so!!
Best to you Sir,
Tim
Ahhh !.. One of my fav PCs with the Vibra-Alarm.. What a great Memovox !.. Cheers !! :)) [nt]

A truly special piece
The combination of a perpetual calendar and an alarm is rare indeed. And in SS even more so.
Master Moon
Hi All
HAGWE
Just a few shots of my Master Moon
Along with a pointer date friend in the last shot.

The moon adds something extra to this watch! :)
Will post an older cousin here in the thread!

Looks a bit bare without moon
Hi
I've seen shots of Master Dates from same time period- which is the same except for having no moon phase & while they're nice, it does feel like there's something missing.
That said never really seen one posted here, only seen catalogue shots - does make me wonder how many were made esp compared to Master Moon.
Cheers

I usually associate modern triple dates in the classical format . . .
. . . with Blancpain, often forgetting that JLC also made them.
Thanks for joining in, j!

Really love that JLC classic !.. Actually my first round LGM piece, after a Reverso Duo Face, many years back.. Lovely featuring !.. Best !! :) [nt]
