Horological Meandering

Today (Sep 22) is the Mid-Autumn Festival in the Chinese Lunar Calendar (Aug 15). This means, of the entire year, the moon will be at its fullest tonight. Contrary to popular belief that there are 29.5 days in each lunar month, the exact count is 29 days,...  

Very fine selection, impressive. That WG Datograph Perpetual kills me. Glad to see how you celebrate something as beautiful as the moon in its maximum esplendor. She is beautiful, I love her. Thanks for sharing. Vte

For the way that the moon "Shone" out at me. Then I go for the L&S Perpetual.

Really stunning to see so many moon phase watches together. Thanks for sharing your story. GEO

and the answer for your question is ... all are a loveable watches . Faisal

Thanks for the beautiful and educational post!

the same phase of the Moon. At the Epoch 2000.0 it is approximately 29.530588853 days. There are higher order secular terms which some manufacturers "guaranteeing" accuracy with a days per century(as an example) may not take into account. In a century the... 

I'd be happy with any of those "moon watches". Funny, I always thought for some unknown reason that Moon Cakes had to have an egg inside to be real moon cakes (to my way of thinking) and that the other fillings were just pretend moon cakes. Enjoy your fea... 

those are all stunning pieces...and I like them all. Best, Goh

Interesting how different cultures have similarities. I just learned that the Chinese fairy tale of Chang-e, the lady living on the moon, is literally identical to another tale in Hindu The 5119R is a gorgeous and very wearable watch. I made the stupid de...

It really is a fantastic piece Who knows, maybe one day I will own the whole set... On another note, what do you think of the Luminous Zeitwerk? Best Sam

Sam, I love it. The unique dial is killer. However, I still prefer the white gold Zeitwerk over the Luminous. Cheers, Daos

But who knows... Maybe one day, I will be able to show a more " romantic " one? ... To be followed. Best, Nicolas...
