description The implementation of the Gregorian calendar in the New World is still an unknown process, or at least a subject that has not gone beyond comments, dates, and some documents. To this point, we do not know how the order to modify the calendar was circulated, whether the change of computation was effective or traumatic, and what were the institutions, agents and practices that made its dissemination possible. This article responds to this historiographic gap with the contribution of new documents, but, above all, submitting the problem of study to an analysis that allows us to conceive it as the beginning of a time on a global scale of universal projection. The conclusions of this research make it possible to relocate the globalization of the calendar from Europe to Spanish-American lands, to transfer the beginning of the world standardization of time from the 18th century to the end of the 16th century, and to reevaluate the role played by the Church and the administration of the Hispanic Monarchy. The final objective is to reconstruct how an abstract computation was transfigured into concrete practices that ended up synchronizing both hemispheres.
