Champthekid, a long-time contributor to WatchProSite, shares a personal tradition of photographing his moon phase watches during a full moon, a nod to his birth date. This recurring series offers a unique perspective on how collectors engage with their timepieces, blending personal milestones with horological appreciation. His latest installment showcases three exceptional watches, inviting the community to appreciate both the artistry of the moon phase complication and the personal connection collectors forge with their watches.
I was born on a full moon ( many moons ago)
and usually take the opportunity to shoot some full moon pictures of the 3 watches I have with a moon phase. You've seen them before, but here they are again anyway
Have a happy Sunday Folks.
Key Points from the Discussion
- The author expresses a slight preference for the Audemars Piguet due to its bracelet, highlighting the subtle factors that can influence a collector's daily choice between high-end pieces like the Patek Philippe 5270-001 and an AP.
- Despite not typically favoring Audemars Piguet, one contributor acknowledges the exceptional quality of all three watches in Champthekid's lineup, emphasizing the universal appeal of these specific references.
- Another contributor, who generally dislikes the Audemars Piguet aesthetic, finds this particular model to be an exception, indicating its unique design appeal even to skeptics.
- A humorous observation points out that while the post refers to 'Full moon x 3' and three watches, only one moon is visible in the photographs, playfully engaging with the visual presentation.
- A critical perspective suggests that some brands, despite their appeal, might be relying too heavily on their brand recognition rather than continuous innovation in certain areas.
