New moon phase watch
Re: New moon phase watch
Maybe it's better in real life but for me it looks quite boring in the photos, whether on strap or bracelet.

Re: New moon phase watch
Similarly I'm on the fence since watching this one. There's always 60/60 I guess ...

Re: New moon phase watch
I’m not buying, but I definitely wouldn’t decide on this one based on pics or videos alone. How can you know the effect this watch has unless you’re seeing it in person?

Wow, the pics look nothing like as good as the video. shame about the 'swiss made'

Re: New moon phase watch
From the best part of 20,000kms away, no chance of that...
What I CAN tell though is you can scarcely read the time either by day or night.
I was SO excited by the prospect: the disappointment in this is for me enormous. Moonglow - fabulous but too big.
This, still too big and merely a pretty 'object'.

Re: New moon phase watch
It's a gorgeous objet d'art, but as a timepiece it's a one trick pony. It really is captivating from a curio point of view, but I like a watch to clearly display the time. In the same manner that most of the focus of the Bel Canto is on its ability to go 'ding', time telling duties seem to have come second...by a long way. Personally I'd take the Moonglow; the party trick is there but so is an interesting date feature, as well as the ability to tell the time.

Re: New moon phase watch
So disappointing, another watch that seems a bit on the feminine side.

Re: New moon phase watch
not sure what I think about this. the dial looks great - but some odd design choices including the "swiss made" and lack of readability in. also very minimalist and "dressy". i feel with this and the Twelve Halo, CW have missed the mark (or at least my mark, as we all know these things are so subjective) slightly.

Re: New moon phase watch
@TheBeatles I can’t say I see anything expressly feminine about it. It’s a beautiful watch; I saw it at Maidenhead recently and the dial is stunning. However, it’s not for me: I’m not really a moon phase fan; I like indices and legibility with or without lume; and for a dress watch, which is how I see it, it’s too big and definitely too thick. I love it but can’t justify it.

Re: New moon phase watch
Absolutely gorgeous, a total triumph and a watch that there's 0% chance of me buying 
I think the design of this is fantastic, it looks beautiful and the way the moon window hides in the dial looks simply stunning - I'd love to see one in person... but... it is still a dress watch at the end of the day, and much like @strapline , being able to tell the time easily is a necessity for me on a watch, and mirrored steel hands, whilst definitely beautiful, just aren't for me.
Having said that, I'm sure CW have another best seller on their hands and I wish them every success with it!

Re: New moon phase watch
It's the best looking version to me, never liked the last 1 where you could see both moons. Looks great on the new bracelet. No markers, even tiny 1s is a no for me though.

Re: New moon phase watch
as a concept - great, as a serial model? I think it is more suitable for a female audience with a 36 mm case
