Before we dive in, it is important to remember that \u201ccalendar\u201d (Quanti\u00e8me<\/em> in French) is the watchmaking term that designates the date. There are different degrees of complexity among the calendar watches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the simple calendar, the \u201ccomplete\u201d calendar adds the day and month into the date\u2019s display. The watch must be winded at the end of the month since it doesn\u2019t take into account the difference between months with 30 days and those with 31 days. 
More complex, the annual calendar takes into account this difference. It only requires to be corrected once a year (hence its name) in February. 
The perpetual calendar is the most sophisticated one since it takes into account the leap years. No need to adjust it until 2100. Indeed, 2100 will not be a leap year because of an anomaly in our Gregorian calendar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
