In many cultures around the world...
the lunar calendar is used for important holidays and events. For instance, the full moon that occurred in the past few days marked the 15th day of the seventh month of the Chinese lunar year and is called Ghost Festival in many places in China, Taiwan and Singapore. It is an important day for people to pacify the hungry ghosts, the ghosts of strangers and the un-cared-for dead. Kind of like Halloween or Day of the Dead.
The Lunar New Year celebrated in even more cultures such as Muslim, Korean, Vietnamese is usually on a new moon. So just by glancing at your moonphase watch, you can quickly estimate how soon an important festival or holiday is coming up.
Your Favorite MOON PHASE?
pics please... trying to get an idea of something to buy.. been wanting a moonphase for a while now.... i like the grande sun/moon by JLC in gold but... idk.. thank you..
This one without any doubt.
And maybe the most precise MP of the industry : (I think it's a pic from Paul Boutros but I'm not sure) : But of course, it's hard to find one. So, I would choose the Lange 1 Moonphase. (pic by me this time) : A stunning continuous moonphase... Fr.Xavier...
And a few days ago I tested this one :
A nice watch but with a big problem for me : the crown is too small and it's a pain to wind it. Fr.Xavier...
haha, you think that crown is small!
This crown is small, but I think it is not a pain to wind, I find it a pleasure, just very difficult & yes, the watch really is too big for me also....
My absolute favorite moon phase is the one I purchased yesterday . . .
De Bethune DB15. This is a terrible phone of my actual watch: Here are a few much better photos from the internet (not of my particular watch): Two other moon phases in my collections: I just sold this one: Regards, Craig...
Why?
Riley, I appreciate the beauty of some moonphase displays, such as the pictured AL&Ss and the VC Malte Chrono Perpetual, and I understand how one might appreciate the inventiveness of the mechanisms by which they work. May I ask whether this complication ...

i love the De Bethunes, but the most accurate is the Braun Selene
this is accurate to the MINUTE. how Martin Braun managed to do this amazes me, but if you only want a moonphase function this must be the one to have. i actually quite like the idea of having Just a moonphase function without a triple date or perpetual. t...
these are fun too, for 100th of the price
The goofiness of the design failed to put me off - I just liked that big old moon in the middle. Mike And this watch is far too small nowadays, but again the moon is nice. FInally, this one is magnificent but I have no idea at all about what it is showing...
Here are a few more _ I had about 2 dozen once, but ... collections change
This one's for you, Art. Double - moon and sun/moon (day/night) This does tides too, or so they said....
Not very sure, too many nice ones... but anyway this is what I have
