Are you a werewolf?
A pointless complication?
Regardless, I like it. It's beautiful to me.

What is this 'moon' of which you speak?
Now, there is double checking an then there is this....
I don't think it's a pointless complication at all. Lovely assembly there.
They look great, and congratulations on having them all up and running at the same time! I see that two of your watches also have the (apparently) far more useful complication of telling you what day it is.
You cannot beat a good moonphase - great watches. It doesn't matter if you use it or not. Only 4 months to go until this beauty hits the streets.

Lovely, it's a complication I really like personally.
That is a fantastic collection of Moon Phase watches, really just superb
+1
How long did that take, or do you have a watchwinder?
Why is the moon phase indicator always in a semi circle ? Why not just a moon sized hole?
Couldn't agree more! Stunning collection

5 mins for the lot, no more. I'm pretty adept at setting them all by now.
Really don't like or see the need for a winders, I prefer to do it myself :)
Amazing collection. On a purely visual basis, I prefer the Jaeger LeCoultre. I think that's just about perfect. Do you have a favourite? Must be difficult to choose between this lot.
that Lange is stunning
Sorry for being monstrously scaled down
Thanks, I think I prefer that look.
Great collection. Must reboot my 5146 after a weekend away in the wilds!
Lovely group and have to say love this complication myself. Life would be pretty boring if we just want things that we NEED. And, good job lining them up like that👍
Good question.
In terms of sheer perfection, in my mind it's also the JLC, the only steel watch there. I know they did away with the power reserve on the newer model but I think it balances the dial beautifully. It's my second one, I was a fool to let the first one go.
The Lange was a long, long time want and a watch I bought new to commemorate my daughters birth year (she's named for a moon goddess).
The GO is quite simply the finest watch I own. Simple, clear, with incredible workmanship. 9 gold chatons set into German silver, in a heavy platinum case. It's Teutonic brilliance.
The Journe has 'personality' if you can ascribe that trait to an inanimate object. It's interesting from the weird hands to the daft solid gold movement. And it's nice to be part of the FPJ thing - the man is something special.
The Patek; well, it is what it is. It's a 'high complication' model and I never thought I'd own such a thing. It took a lot of work, and a lot of watches were sacrificed for it. It's the flagship of my collection, I can't see it ever being bettered. So it's special for that of nothing else.
So I don't have a favourite. I like them all for different reasons.
My current fave:
Go on - what is it (not too difficult really!).

Quite amazing collection. If I ever need to find out the current moon phase I'll know who to PM. :)
Lemme guess, you named your daughter Coyolxauhqui.
Very interesting, the only one that I am aware of is: Tanith, who was the moon goddess of the Carthaginians (pardon any spelling mistakes in this).
The ALS is absolutely beautiful. Unlikely, I could ever afford one :(

I'd take the ALS but they are all amazing.
Yeah, but we spell it with two 'Y's...
Well put. It's always nice to hear the reasons for why a person owns a specific watch. They don't all need to have a special significance, but it's more interesting than 'it looked shiny in a shop window'.
Selena. One of the Greek ones :)
Ball moon phase?My current fave:
Go on - what is it (not too difficult really!).

Simply gorgeous collection of moon nonsense! I actually pulled out my Panomatic lunar today for an airing and there is something about the moonphase.
That Moser moonphase is definitely unusual.
Fantastic group, made it my screen saver
Me likey. Me wanty. Shiny shiny.
Sorry for being monstrously scaled down
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
What a wonderful thread and glorious collection.
Correct; Trainmaster. Beautiful. And very useful if married to my present wife.
Love the lange simple and yet stunning.
If this is a Moon Watch, shouldn't it have an Earthphase?

Wow that is a stunning collection of MPs Lewis. It's not very often you get to use that phrase!
Love that JLC to it just looks so right and the strap compliments it perfectly. Ok Stupid question time, why did you sell a watch that you then regretted selling, or was it something that you didn't realise until it had gone? Did you realise straight away or it took time for the regret to surface.
Only asking as I've never been in that situation, although in fairness I haven't sold many...
I sold an identical one to buy a PP 5205 in white gold; thought it would be a perfect replacement/upgrade and it was an amazing watch but didn't actually replace the JLC. I missed it.
Was lucky enough for someone to reply to a WTB on here and all sorted.
It's the only watch my wife has ever looked at and said 'that's a beautiful watch'.
A fantastic group of watches, each with their own particular attraction.
I don't think it's a pointless complication and I much prefer the look of a dress watch which has one, beautiful collection by the way.
Fantastic watches.A pointless complication?
Regardless, I like it. It's beautiful to me.
