This cube is a perpetual calendar. The date of the day can be displayed in 4 languages on a selected cube face. By twisting and rotating it, you can set it to today's date.
Four 3x3 calendars can be displayed on a front face, namely German, Italian, Rumantsch-Grischun and French. For each 3x3 calendar, weekdays are displayed on the top layer, days on the middle layer and months on the bottom layer. Weekdays names are 2-letter abbreviations whereas months names are abbreviated in 3 letters.
The layout of the Swiss calendar cube was created in 2009 by André Boulouard and Walter Randelshofer.
