Earlier this year we introduced 3 new watches to our range with a special new complication. They track the moon (as well as telling the time).
What is a Moon phase watch?
Simply put, a moon phase watch is a watch shows the time and can also tell you which phase the moon is in. But if you want to get into the workings of the watch, it's much richer and complicated than that.
Moon phase complications have been used in clockwork for centuries. This style was first created by European clockmakers and later adapted into luxury timepieces to create statement watches.
These captivating watches are identified by their classic circular dial, often featuring roman numerals, but the real conversation starter is the moon phase display. Tracking the lunar cycle through a 29.5 day cycle demands a high level of precision and accuracy which is achieved by a finely tuned gear train.
