FAQ
What is a moon-phase complication?
A moon-phase complication is a watch component that displays the evolution of the lunar cycle, from new moon to full moon.
This is done using a lunar printed with two moons, partially visible on the dial. This disc moves forward a little each day to reproduce the actual cycle, which lasts 29 days, 12 hours and 44 minutes.
The sky, older than mankind
Since ancient times, mankind has turned its gaze to the stars to guide it through time and space, predict its future, and get closer to the cyclical rhythms of the universe.
The moon-phase complications are iconic reminders of these celestial virtues, and an encapsulation of the magic of the stars on the scale of our wrist.
