1/ how is the Perpetual Cal handled and set ? - extra pushers or maybe a central mechanism, an approach I love in JLC PC's 2/ how would you rate the sound spectrum/ volume of this MR ? - Is it a hammer system or Trebouchet and on case or on separate part ... 

Thanks, for info.. If Annual Cal, then single crown op or individ pushers..

.. What I meant, are all indications ( date, month, weekday) handled each separately ? - or maybe by only one crown ( which I doubt); - but AFAIK, JLC does for some of their PC's Sorry to insist, wasn't quite clear to me.. Thx in advance & Best, hs

Nicolas already answered, but here....
