Ulysse Nardin is my choice
Jun 11, 2022,14:41 PM
Very subjective if you are aiming for the most natural display or the most historical provenance or the best functioning.
The Ulysse Nardin does not have the best dial layout amongst all of these and the date changes are gradual, but you can set it forwards and backwards via the crown and it's readable by a layman. It's no longer the only idiot-proof perpetual calendar on the market, but Ludwig Oeschlin's movement remains the champion of the genius in simplicity philosophy.

PC preference

With the recent sharing of new AP perpetual calendar pieces on the forum, I started wondering whether there is a general opinion about which brand makes the best perpetual calendar watch, or is it a matter of taste? I realize there are many nuances to the...
That is a good point about the ease of setting…

which is what brought FP Journe to mind. But I completely overlooked the skeleton models which are awesome game changers! Thanks for your excellent points.
Yes!!! ;)

but I agree they have those additional little touches that really distinguish it and make it special.
Of those in the picture my choice would be H Moser & Cie's.

I haven't seen it in real though. I like clean dials, and want them to have high legibility. So the Moser wins with second place to GO and third to AL&S. When the date is on a hard to read subdial (pointer), in my opinion the point of the perpetual calend...
FP Journe QP
By: montecristo#2 : June 11th, 2022-13:52
So easy to set — no pusher adjuster required, instead you get a really innovative lever built discreetly into the lug. And the instantaneous digital date change is so cool. ...
I personally believe this is unquestionably the best QP in existence.
By: BigFatPauli : June 11th, 2022-14:04
Where other QP's are so poorly thought out that they can not be set at certain times, or in both directions, this can. It is a giant leap in QP design. It quite literally fixed some of the most major issues with the QP. And it happens to be stunning. ...

Excellent comparison…

Great subject
By: Weems@8 : June 12th, 2022-00:01
While i am not so specialized in complications, i adore perpetual calendars. Simply, it have all the timing and features that is important to what time is about. Time as a whole, time as it is no material, it is worth it to know where it is. A watch and a...
I own only one PC and I would recommend this piece without hesitation
By: Sfwatchlover : June 12th, 2022-06:16
It is the JLC master ultra thin PC ref 1308470. The best thing is the one button synchronized setting, so you do not need to worry about how to set the moon phase. It is 39mm and I love it that it displays the year. It is one of the most affordable PCs we...
Each of these are amazing in their own right!
By: ArmisT : June 29th, 2022-05:31
I’ve never seen these examples before 😍 That Breguet is the most special of all I’ve seen, while DB amazes me with their ability to create such traditional beauties. And that 5050 is so clean and elegant. Truly great additions to this post, thank you for ...
