Nicolas is right to emphasize the moonphase as pretext to the primary concern of precision

I cannot countenance the foudroyante sharing time with a moonphase complication, which to me together suggests a celestial serenity (rendered beautifully by IWC with the Portofino Moonphase, whose Roman numeral indices and Breuget hands--along with the moonphase complication itself--suggest to me at least a medieval sense of wonder and serenity) offset by the frenzied and frenetic function of the foudroyante.  An unresolved tension......'

I'd opt for the Moser in this situation--a well conceived perpetual calendar that encases an interchangeable dual escapement wheel component--designed for ease of maintenance.

Good luck with your choice!  Please let us know what you decide, and post a wrist shot of your purchase

Warm regards,
