Sculptural but not for my wrist.

I'll confess that I've been looking at the Moonshine for the past few weeks and considering it, but, over that time, it just hasn't grown on me. I, for one, haven't come to appreciate it beyond a sense of "interesting, original and sculptural but not what I want on my wrist." (Heck, I'm not even sure if I could, with my eyes, read the time.) I guess that's why I've just ordered a K3 Harvest Moon instead -- it has the enigmatic moon, presents the contrast of red and black, has Sarpaneva's wonderful grail design, and is, without doubt, a watch. Technical perhaps with a serious (dare I say Finnish or sullen sensibility) but altogether a watch. Maybe I'm not hip enough for a Moonshine jewelry on my wrist but I'll just happily wait for one of Stepan's watches that actually have hands! But the wait won't be easy....

In fact I decided to put mine on right now. I am sure that you will have no difficulty reading the time off it or becoming distracted by the design - fascinated, yes. Perhaps they are still harvesting in my part of the world - Grünkohl or green cabbage. T... 

Great name: the "All Moon"
