Cozmopak kicks off a fascinating discussion on the enduring appeal of moonphase watches, sharing a personal acquisition story that resonates with many collectors. This thread explores not just the aesthetic beauty of the complication, but also its deeper horological and philosophical significance. Readers will gain insight into why this ancient timekeeping function remains a beloved feature in modern and vintage timepieces alike.
I love the Moon Phase! Can’t say that I actually “use” it, but I like the way a moon phase balances a dial. It also makes me think about time differently. There is more to time than Hour and Minute hands. The Moon Phase on a watch speaks to a Universe of which we are all a part of. The Moon Phase is beautiful. Patek Philippe 1526 from 1944. My favorite Moon Phase. Cortebert “Sport”from the 1950’s (I think). Patek Philippe 3970j Patek Philippe 3940 Patek Philippe 5004j
For me, The interaction with the watch is a big part of the fun of owning such a watch. My favorite pieces are all manually -wound .
I just rotate it enough so that I can see most of the moon!
Congrats and thanks for sharing - lovely
......If Omega stopped producing all those JB007 Seamaster variants, first monkey in space Speedmaster etc... and concentrated on making a nice perpetual/complication dress watch collection that is not with that DeVille 1980's styling and with some decent water resistance?
The 4 moon positions are interesting facts.
