This is a binary calendar. I understand only the basics of this number system, but after some close inspection, I figured out how this calendar works and it is quite clever. It only has the ability to tell the date (not the month or the day of the week) but I 'm ok with that. Every day you place the metal ball in the top right hole and it will slide down, activating certain pegs along the way to empty or fill the circles at the top to represent the date. It is a pretty elegant design and it is mechanically brilliant.
A wall sized calender seems like something I would enjoy to own. I constantly am writing myself notes and scribbles and would love to have an entire wall to keep my thoughts organized.
I like this desk calendar a lot, it is very simple but the wood and the cut-out numbers have a strong visual impact.
