Why the Complete calendar is illogical?
From an historical point of view, complete calendars always existed, at JLC.
So I don't see how it is more illogical than an annual calendar, here.
If JLC offers, one day, an annual calendar, it wil be more expensive than a complete calendar, which is logical.
Remember than the Perpetual Calendar ( 8 Days, released last year ) is around 17 000 Euros, and that the complete calendar in the Reverso is around 9 / 9, 5 K Euros.
So, the annual calendar would be priced in between... Is it logical to not pay 3 or 4 K more euros, to just have an annual calendar when you can get a perpetual one?
Just curious and willing to understand your point.
Best,
Nicolas
Annual Calendar?
That Reverso would be great if had considered an Annual Calendar. It seems I have to wait another year to probably see that complication in a modern JLC. Why JLC doesn't consider the Annual Calendar complication? From my perspective, this Reverso Calendar...
I see where you are coming from. That's very reasonable indeed. Having to correct...
...the calendar at the end of those 30-day months is an inconvenience albeit small. However, regarding absence of annual calendar complication, I think there is a pricing factor involved too. As you and I know, it is never too difficult for JLC to produce...
Agree Ruckdee
Thanks for your message Ruckdee… I didn’t see the situations in those terms (price and the wearing habits). I totally agree and now I understand in a better way the Master Calendar and the new and beautiful Reverso Calendar. Regards,

...that fulfills our particular demand or need for usage. And if that demand is echoed by an adequate number of buyers, the manufacturers will most likely find a way to capture that demand and make it a win-win situation for all. Let's keep our hopes up, ...
Regarding the Reverso Triple Date..
Let's say its April 30th, and the next day (clearly) is May 1st. The calendar will show April 31st, so one has to change the date and month? Haven't seen a complete (is that what they're called?) calendar so forgive my ignorance.
Yes, that’s the inconvenience for me.
You have to correct the date, because the mechanism doesn´t “know” that month doesn’t have 31 days. If that watch would be an Annual Calendar, the mechanism has the “knowledge” to know the exact days for each month, with the exception of February, because...
Thanks for the confirmation
Thanks for the confirmation. I also think this watch would have been perfect if it was an annual calendar. Nonetheless, still a very attractive watch!
good point
seems like annual calendar are not frequent in general and even less frequent in JLC watches, I think
That is simple: There is no annual calendar in JLC watches, till now. [nt]

I would agree that it will be a good addition to the calendar range from JLC
I am quite surprised that Jaeger has not created an annual calendar watch till date. In fact it would perfectly fit between the complete calendar and the perpetual calendar, with an affordable price point. Patek has it's annual calendar as one of the most...
I hear you, Narsi.
That is not because I don't like this complication that JLC doesn't have to make it! Maybe one day we'll see one? But JLC explored so many complications these last 10 years that maybe it was not a priority for them to think about an original annual calend...
Completeness...
Hi Nicolas, My english is not good, sorry for that. The inconvenience I found with this complication is that you have to adjust the watch each month (if you wear it the whole year), I don’t like that… In terms of the economical perspective you offer, I ag...
Don't worry about your english, mine is not much better than yours. ;)
I hear you on the utility of the annual calendar, and that it would be good if JLC complete their collection of calendars with an annual one. After all, they made more than 1000 movements, they can work on one more! I am biased, here, and to be honest, I ...
