IWC Da Vinci Calendar

Filed under: IWC — Tags: , , — admin @ 3:52 pm

Over the years, calendar exist a big problem: the adjustment of day, week, month, year and moon phase is not synchronized. It means that even though different displays are synchronized under the conditions of the normal operation of the watch, whenever the spring stops, we should correct the date information one by one to press the button on both sides of the case. If the watch has the moon phase function, the host needs to check the calendar with month to adjust the moon phase. Although the adjustments are a little complex, people are used to considering it as the normal trouble of the calendar. This is why the traditional calendar watches are equipped with a rotary table device.

This situation continued until 1985. In that year, the genius IWC technical director Mr. Kurt Klaus lighted the dead angle of the calendar structure with his torch of synchronization adjustment finally and thoroughly washed the bad reputation of the inconvenient adjustment of the calendar watch.

Not the tall, gray hair and warm temper Mr. Kurt Klaus whose appearance and temperament is no lack of similarities with Einstein has been working up to 50 years in IWC. He is the student of the master Albert Pellaton who invented the famous winding structure of IWC Pellaton and becomes the IWC technical director after Pellaton. The first big project after he took over the position is revolutionary to simplify the structure of the calendar to make it easier operate and produce. At the same time, he produced the first calendar which can display the 4-digit years in the world (while the traditional calendar just can display whether it is leap year).

The Structure of IWC Da Vinci Calendar
The most important thing is Kurt Klaus created a calendar watch which can allow all the date information (date, week, month and moon phase) to adjust at one time. When the watch stops, you just pull out the crown to correct to accurate current day quickly and other information will be automatically tuned.

The calendar component of Klaus is used to the Da Vinci Calendar launched in 1985 by IWC. Without any help of the CAD software at that time, it is quite extraordinary to achieve the feat. Depending on the mathematics totally and the skill of modeling and the insistence of the idea “the simplest is always the best”, Klaus brought the world’ most advanced and cheapest calendar. The status of the IWC calendar has been improved to a prominent position.
