February 29...

My Inge Digital Date Month was a few minutes early

kind regards,

Indeed, a very special day - and an even more special a watch. The genius of "The Master" shines through.

February 29th on a Portugieser Perpetual Calendar (IW503404):

Kind regards, Philipp

Here the 29. February on the GST Perpetual 😎

Best regards,

... and Cinq, IWC legacy - rather arrive to early than late !

Hard to capture the 29th on the attractive time of the day ... ;-)

All perpetuals arrived flawlessly on this special day. Just one DDM Inge is for service in Schaffhausen currently and thus missed...

Let's see if in few hours we're on March 1st or February 30th ... ;-)

Had to wait for another attractive time...

Nice pics friends!! If only the forum would allow me to upload one....

Here's the Master himself Mister Kurt Klaus. I'm proud and pleased to have his portrait on my watch. His 90th birthday will be this year.

And yes, the Calendar shows 30.02.2024 and later even 31.02.2024. But after 24:00 it will switch correctly to 01.03.2024. That's just the transition phase.

Sliding not jumping...

Transition to March 1 went flawlessly as wel and also a few minutes before midnight. Consistancy rules!

Kind regards,

Clemens

My transition from February 29th across to March 1st was similarly flawless

Posting photos is a bit of a challenge, but here goes on the Leap Year change to Feb 29 on my PPC. Completed some work in my basement on the 2024 Leap Year change over on Feb 28 to Feb 29. A separate post will follow on the Feb 29 to March 1 change over. The first shot is at 11:30 when nothing has started. The next three show the change over starting at 23:50 where the date is starting to swing to the 29th. At 23:57 date is changed and the day of the week is moving, but not the month. At a minute past midnight the day has changed to Thursday and all is well on Leap day.

The change over to March 1 started before 23:45 and unfortunately before I snapped any shots. At that time the date has advanced to a bit past the 31st. At 23:53 the Month was changing to March and the date was a bit closer to the 1st. At 23:58 the Month moved to March, but the day of the week and the date were a bit behind. At midnight, the month, day, and date were all perfect.

Love those transition photos Bill and thanks for sharing everybody.

Hello,

This is my first post....ps - I think my watch needs to be sent to IWC for moonphase re-alignment...

Hi GeorgeW,

welcome to the Forum and what a great watch to contribute, cool picture too.

Your PPC shows Wednesday, the 14.02.2024 and the moonphase looks about right for that date. No reason to worry.

Thanks Tilo for your comment. All's good 😊 ..

Transition phase going from

29-02, 22:45 -> 01-03, 00:10

29-02->30-02->31-02->01-03
