Rau<\/a>, which is offering the watch on 1stDibs. \u201cThe minute repeater provides an on-demand chiming of the hours, quarter hours and minutes, allowing the user to know the precise time without looking at the watch. The perpetual calendar has indications for the day, date and month.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The date indicator runs across a discrete retrograde scale via a hand that jumps back to one at the end of each month. Since it&#8217;s a perpetual calendar, that means it automatically jumps back at 30, 31 or, for February, 28 (29 in a leap year). \u201cThe addition of a moon phase on top of these two other complications just makes this an even more impressive and more beautiful watch,\u201d says Drake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/watches\/pocket-watches\/metal\/gold\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/MS-Rau-Maurius-Lecoultre-Pocket-Watch-Inscription-9975252-1-950x760.jpg\" alt=\"Engraving on perpetual calendar jump-date pocket watch by Marius Lecoultre\" class=\"wp-image-360861\" width=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/MS-Rau-Maurius-Lecoultre-Pocket-Watch-Inscription-9975252-1-950x760.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/MS-Rau-Maurius-Lecoultre-Pocket-Watch-Inscription-9975252-1-438x350.jpg 438w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/MS-Rau-Maurius-Lecoultre-Pocket-Watch-Inscription-9975252-1-120x96.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/MS-Rau-Maurius-Lecoultre-Pocket-Watch-Inscription-9975252-1-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/MS-Rau-Maurius-Lecoultre-Pocket-Watch-Inscription-9975252-1-1167x933.jpg 1167w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/MS-Rau-Maurius-Lecoultre-Pocket-Watch-Inscription-9975252-1.jpg 1318w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>The cuvette, or inner case back, is engraved with the name of the maker.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The month and the day of the week appear in windows below the moon phase under the date scale, and the central chronograph seconds hand charts elapsed time on an index on the outer main dial.
