Southern moon indication

Jul 21, 2019,13:03 PM
 

I  have been making "correct' moon indication for the Southern Hemisphere since 1990. These were all in clocks as that is what I was commissioned to make at the time.


I will soon be releasing three new watch models, two of which will be released in the next few weeks, neither of these will have a Lunar display but it certainly could be added to a new version, naturally made for the hemisphere in which the owner lives.

I will not be using standard factory movements. I am using a heavily modified vintage, Swiss movt. for one watch and the train from premium high grade, American made vintage watch for the other watch.

This will be the first "Made in California" watch and the second all "Made in USA" watch for many years.

I wonder why this won't work?

 
 By: cazalea : July 21st, 2019-16:36
I'll have to give some thought to the theory of displaying the phase in the Southern Hemisphere, but this one goes sideways ... thus not up/down like some. Cazalea PS - or strap it on upside down? ...
