@cypnk Thomas Mudge made the first perpetual calendar watch in 1762, a perpetual calendar complication displays the day and month, keeping track of the varying lengths of the months and even taking into account the leap year every 4 years

The annual calendar complication, which is far simpler than that as it doesn't take into account leap years was invented in... 1996

Took a while for anyone to get around to that one

@natecull certainly not for them

might improve Milton Keynes though

US, UK & Huawei 

@mplouffe@scholar.social I say buy half from the chinese and half from the USAians, that way they can each only snoop on half of it

This is cool to know, the new Seiko 5 watches mostly retain aftermarket parts compatibility with the old SKX007

Dial, hands, chapter ring, bezel, crystal, and caseback are all slot in replacements, bracelet end-links require a bit of wrangling with spring bars but fit, only thing that isn't compatible is the crown
