Rings
The calendar is composed of a number of rings around the inner circle. From the outside to the inside these rings show:
moon phases, fields for personal notes, official holidays (in Germany, Austria and Switzerland), fields for your own markings, dates and days of the week, calendar weeks, and months.
A Year in the Alps
Throughout the year, the Alps change their appearance over and over. In winter, not only the high peaks are covered in snow. Mountain passes must be closed and animals retreat into hibernation. Ski slopes and freeride routes can become crowded. As the days get longer in spring the snow begins to melt, streams that were once small trickles rush into the valleys. The first flowering plants start to show at the surface. In many places in the Alps summer has become the main tourism season. Cattle graze on mountain pastures now bursting with color while hikers walk by. In autumn, the harvest is brought in and the herds are driven back down to the valleys – before snow once again blankets the mountains and settlements.
Your very own year of 2026
One large field offers space for personal notes from appointments to birthdays, holidays and other special occasions, celebrations, your ski vacation, your hiking or your cycling trip. Three other rings are intended for graphical markings, like for instance athletic activities, visits to the movies, or the theater, or your personal count of the days since you gave up smoking. At the end of the year you have created a personal, infographic over the course of your year 2026.
The concept of the circular calendar
Our calendars are showing the whole year on one poster. For us the circle has the ideal shape for this. A year is illustrated as a closed phase.
The circle is also a matching symbol for rotational events which we experience each year. The length of the year is defined by the circular rotation of Earth around the Sun. After one year Earth returns to the same relative position in relation to the Sun. The succession of the seasons, of holidays and celebrations, also repeats itself each year in a circular flow.
