Sunday, January 1, 2012.

BTW, this JLC Perpetual Calendar uses the IWC Calendar Plate, just positioned 180 degrees rotation compared to the IWC Perpetual Calendar.

Happy New Year to all IWC friends.
Hoping that 2012 will be as good as the year of the Portofino.

Regards, Marinus

Happy New Year 2012 with best wishes from Bavaria, Germany.

ps. where is the snow this year?

As this JLC Perpetual Calendar uses the IWC calendar plate, and just is positioned in 180 degrees rotation compared to the IWC Perpetual Calendar watches, I guess the perpetual calendar module can be mounted in about any position on top of the watch module? This, because the crown still is on the right side of the watch. By the way, because of this rotation, the placement of the last two digits of the year looks a bit funny, out of place, so close to the months hand.

Kind regards,
Paul

Indeed, best wishes for 2012 to all!

The IWC Da Vinci Calendar Plate can be mounted on other watch modules. Thus we have an Pilot Perpetual, the Da Vinci, and of course the Portuguese to mention a few.

The display of the two digits of the year on the JLC is done by opening the "window" on the other side of the rotating year discs, closer to the Moon Phase axis. They didn't include the Century Year on the JLC. Here is a figure and reference to an article on the IWC Perpetual Calendar Mechanism. Fascinating reading (if you can understand it - I get headaches trying to follow it ; ).
