Reply to comment by SocksOnHands in TIL the Passemant astronomical clock in Versailles has shown the correct date, time, moon phase, planetary alignment, etc (accounting for leap years ) from 1750 and can display through 9999. by kitkatbloo

"On December 31, 2000, the château’s staff also gathered around the clock: it went straight to the year 3000 and the clockmaker at the château had to push it back!"
