There are two nights a year when the perpetual calendar is really special: the 31st December and 28th February. At the year end, the wheel that shows the year moves just a few millimetres. This is not a rushed job. The perpetual calendar takes its time - none of this KERS nonsense. Digging through some photographs of an excellent New Year's eve party in the Lake District, I found some snaps I took of the movement of the year wheel.

Just remembered that the cameras will be busy for that change from 28th Feb - 1st March in one step. Sadly no perpetual in my flock but I do know that a certain person with excellent photo skills has a nice RG Portuguese perpetual that's just come back from Spa Town. Sorry Bill, your duties tomorrow night are to be found in the basement so be ready from 23.30.

Having a Perpetual does come with some responsibities, I hope to live up to the expectations :-)

Omar Khayyám (Persia XI-XII Century) offered that Time should not only be measured in length but also in width due to the intrinsic difference between a minute or other depending on what is happening to the beholder... I wonder how a watch would look like...

Excellent news, Clemens. Your message saved me from asking if anyone was planning a webcast of the event. Looking forward to the video.
