Annual calendar in JLC Master Calendar
Dear Purists
Would anyone be able to tell me in the Master Calendar, it does not work like the Patek annual calendar? you still have to adjust the day every month. The annual calenday was invented by Patek and can only be found in their watches.
Thanks.

The triple date is not an annual calendar...
So you will have to set the date at the end of each month, while on the Annual Calendar, you'll have to set it once a year, at the end of February. Hope this will be of some help. Best, Nicolas
Annual calendar only on Patek
Thanks a lot. So I see a lot of brands have perpetual calendar but is annual calendar only in Patek watches? I heard that perpetual calendar is very troublesome to set everything while annual calendar is much easier and is much more suitable for everyday ...

The annual complication is not a complication I know well,
So I couldn't be able to tell you if only PP does it... Perpetual calendars are not always troublesome to set. I know at least 3 brands where the PC are easy to set: Ulysse Nardin: The PC is set by the crown, and can be set backward or forward. IWC: The P...
MIH watch also has an annual calender
Not a common complication (and I recall reading the Patek annual calender is actually as complex as the perpetual). However this is at least one other around - the MIH watch. Details here :- http://www.ornatus-mundi.ch/artikel_12/artikel_12_1.htm
