The idea of starting a watch complication buying guide has crossed our minds here at WOW on more than one occasion. A quick search on Google will yield an endless list of such guides, and WOW was founded on the principle of acting as a buying guide. How would one by WOW be different then, given that the Internet has upended such discussions? Well, instead of a generic watch buying guide, we thought to start a series instead, with each article focused on a different complication. What better way to start than with the quintessential calendar watch.

Before diving into it, let us have a quick history of how the calendar was invented so keep this issue (or story once this goes online) handy for that inevitable moment that we get into the perpetual calendar. On that note, this story does not include a discussion on the perpetual calendar, because high complications require an altogether different approach. That said, let us get on with this show.
