Call of the moon
There are watches that tell the time of the day, and then are those that follow the moon.
IF you’re interested in the different phases of the moon, check out the latest moonphase timepieces at the Time Kulture exhibition which runs till Aug 9.
Basically it tells you the current phase of the moon as you see it in the sky, and while it may not really apply to everyday life, you can’t deny there’s something romantic and whimsical to have a watch that follows the moon.
If you prefer clean lines and a classic appearance, the Frederique Constant Manufacture Classic Moonphase possesses all the hallmarks of every watch within the Classics Collection.
It comes with either a gold or sil- ver case with a FC- 715 automatic movement and a black or brown alligator strap.
Other known attributes of the range include reliability and durability as each timepiece within the Classics Collection has been engineered to the most exacting standards.
Longines added a new chronograph to the Conquest Classic collection: the Conquest Classic Moonphase.
With a diameter of 42mm, this chronograph in steel and rose gold houses the self- winding mechanical chronograph movement L678.
Its silver dial is set with nine applied indices coated with Super-LumiNova and makes an elegantly contrasting background to the moonphase display.
The date is indicated by a halfmoon central hand while it is fitted on a steel and rose gold cap bracelet with a triple folding safety clasp.
Graham has come up with the new Chronofighter Lady collection which combines pure astronomy and graceful watch- making.
With a luminous moon phase and high- precision quartz movement, this timepiece is an ode to femininity and refinement.
The Chronofighter 1695 is created with the renowned start/ stop lever adorned with a diamond that is meant to perfectly highlight the spirit of the timepiece.
Eye- catching and sophisticated, the detailing is impressive with an engraved floral motif inspired by the tapestry from British hand- craftsman William Morris seen on the case back.
Enhanced with a glossy coloured lizard leather strap, the Chrono- fighter 1695 Lady Moon is a techno- logical innovation.
Coated with white SuperLumiNova, it has a domed sapphire crystal glass with anti- reflective coating on both faces, a flinqué decorated dial featuring four diamonds set at quarter- hours and a diamond- set bezel.
