By providing a concentrated view of a calendar date over a period of ten years, the Jahresweiser creates a new relationship to the course of time (and therefore to one's own life). On one page per calendar date, it presents this day in the overview of the decade.

Focusing a decade on one date can serve a wide variety of purposes that conventional calendars cannot: the construction of entire biographies, the recorded memory of growth and development (of children, love relationships or one's own world view). One day, viewed recurrently over the course of a decade, corresponds to one page in this book, which - in keeping with its long useful life - we have furnished opulently.
