Under the Gregorian date currently in use, a century year is only a leap 12 months if it is divisible by 400; consequently, the years 2100, 2200, and 2300 are not start years. Historically, perpetual calendars produced by the watchmaking market could not automatically account for this kind of calendar exception; consequently, inside those years, the process would advance from February 28th to the 29th as opposed to to March 1st, necessitating a return to the manufacturer to get manual adjustment-a long-standing drawback of the perpetual calendar side-effect.
