From the History of Perpetual Calendars
The idea of a calendar that remains valid for many years is not a new one. The first mechanical and paper-based perpetual calendars emerged during the Renaissance. They were complex mechanisms or charts that allowed one to determine the day of the week for any given date over a wide range of years, often accounting for leap years and lunar cycles. They were prized tools for scholars, astronomers, and merchants.
A Point of Interest: The Prague Orloj
One of the most famous and complex "calendars" in the world is the Prague Astronomical Clock (Orloj). Its calendar dial, added in the 15th century, shows not only the day and month but also saints' days and astronomical phenomena. Although it does not rotate by hand, it represents the pinnacle of the medieval quest to mechanically capture time and the cycles of the year.
How to Use and Care for Your Calendar
Setting Up and Installation
Installation is very simple—just hang it on a sturdy nail or screw in the wall using the keyhole provided on the back. To set the current date, simply rotate the individual rings by hand until the correct day, month, and day of the week are aligned at the top.
Product Care
The calendar is virtually maintenance-free. To remove dust, simply wipe it with a dry cloth. Avoid exposing it to excessive moisture to maintain its matte finish and prevent any signs of corrosion.
Important Notice
This product is primarily a decorative item. The rings are turned manually, and the calendar does not automatically account for the number of days in a month or for leap years. The date needs to be set by hand.
