The moon phase is a beautiful reminder of an age before time was ruled by gears, crystals and atoms. Yet the moon phase also reminds that though our timekeepers may achieve aesthetic perfection, they will always struggle to keep pace with the imperfect universe we inhabit.

In 2010, Panerai created an instant success by offering the Luminor Submersible in an ancient and beautiful material closely linked with the sea: bronze.

For me, I am at a stage of severe infatuation with subseconds at 6 time only watches. So naturally, I will show partiality to watches in this category.

One of the most unusual and technically intriguing watches that I’ve seen so far this year at the 2015 edition of the SIHH is the Zeitwerk Minute Repeater.
