5212 Weekly Calendar Questions

[timewarped80]

Does anyone know the difference vs annual calendar functionality?

Does the weekly calendar need to be adjusted at the end of every other month?

And if so is it a simple advancement or does anything have to be rejiggered?

Can you adjust at all times or excluding 8pm-2am?

I believe this watch is a "full" calendar which means it has no mechanical memory and must be adjusted for each 30 day month and February.

Cannot answer the other questions. Is the website any help or the press release?

So a quick review of the instructions online. The date is corrected through the crown. There are correctors outside the case for the other settings. The watch cannot be set from 9PM to 2 AM. So the good news for its a simple pull and turn of the crown at position 3 to set the date.

There have been some mention of deliveries. I think deliveries are delayed. The new hot pieces seem to always turn up at grey market dealers on Chronos24 at crazy prices. There are none there yet.

Agreed Calatrava. I’m supposed to be first at one of the bigger AD’s in USA so if I don’t have it yet I’m thinking few do but who knows. Such a cool piece I’m looking forward to seeing it on different straps.

I'm in love with this watch, why so little wis talk about it?

Just been checking into the workings of the piece ahead of delivery and ISO 8601 for the week number.

To quote:
There are several mutually equivalent and compatible descriptions of week 01:

the week with the year's first Thursday in it (the formal ISO definition),
the week with 4 January in it,
the first week with the majority (four or more) of its days in the starting year, and
the week starting with the Monday in the period 29 December – 4 January.
As a consequence, if 1 January is on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, it is in week 01. If 1 January is on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday, it is in week 52 or 53 of the previous year (there is no week 00). 28 December is always in the last week of its year.

The week number can be described by counting the Thursdays: week 12 contains the 12th Thursday of the year.

The ISO week-numbering year starts at the first day (Monday) of week 01 and ends at the Sunday before the new ISO year (hence without overlap or gap). It consists of 52 or 53 full weeks. The first ISO week of a year may have up to three days that are actually in the Gregorian calendar year that is ending; if three, they are Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Similarly, the last ISO week of a year may have up to three days that are actually in the Gregorian calendar year that is starting; if three, they are Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. The Thursday of each ISO week is always in the Gregorian calendar year denoted by the ISO week-numbering year.

Examples:

Monday 29 December 2008 is written "2009-W01-1"
Sunday 3 January 2010 is written "2009-W53-7"
End quote.


So to clarify (), the 29th of December can be in week 1 of the following year but the 3rd of January can be in week 52/53 of the preceding year (obviously both can't be true in the same year).
Now that's not at all confusing!
