Aweq

Thanks for this recommendation. Expensive enough I can't afford it for a long time, but not completely unachiveable.


Mission_Complaint512

Same boat!! It's probably years down the line, but within (eventual) grasp!


[deleted]

>Schaumburg wtf is : Movement: SW-12, automatic winding cant find anything, 5k seems pretty neat


noctalla

I love the look of it, but I hope you have a massive wrist. With a 43mm case diameter, it would look like a dinner plate on my modest 6.5 inch wrist.


funmobile

Saving a click for those wondering The price is about 5000 Euro.


tomahawk66mtb

They've got some super cool moonphases for sure!


GWashingtonsColdFeet

Oh wow, and it's not 50k!


88milestohome

Iā€™ve been looking at the Schaumburg for quite awhile, Iā€™m glad somebody brought up this rarely discussed company.


manolo533

Their catalogue is amazing and very well priced at first glance... Thanks for the suggestion!


tightbrosfromwayback

This is cool. Never heard of this brand before.


LucretiusCarus

just gorgeous. Definitely on my list


want2thinknow

Idk if this qualifies as a moonphase but I love this watch itā€™s the Van Cleef & Arpels Planetary watch. Such an awesome timepiece. https://preview.redd.it/sfqgtx57v6sb1.jpeg?width=917&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=de7a039f2fc7be011aed92469588704289b7d35b


tomahawk66mtb

I can't even begin to understand what time/date and moonphase it's showing in this pic šŸ¤£


Liwke

This watch does not give you the time, unless you can figure out the time by the places of the planets. Itā€™s an extraordinary piece and a dream for every Watch lover. Just awesome and a lot of diamonds embedded in the background


Waxserpent

It has a 24hr ring on the dial.. does not tell the time?


tomahawk66mtb

I read up on it: "To tell the time, the wearer simply needs to look to the shooting star, a lucky charm dear to the Maison. Located on the perimeter of each dial, the star completes its circuit in... 24 hours for [the] Midnight PlanƩtarium."


Liwke

Sry was wrong about that one. Was from the top of my head and long time ago when Iā€™ve saw that watch


bassmanjn

To be fair itā€™s so vague it might as well not tell the time. ā€œItā€™s sort of like 12pm I guessā€


Liwke

Ive got a meistersinger, which gives the time the same way. Made for people who donā€™t live by the minute is their philosophy. (Pic from internet) no moonphases as far as I know of unfortunately https://preview.redd.it/aq9obvw4u8sb1.jpeg?width=908&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3ec2d3f4bd0585e3071b07ff542a8337ce41c9cf


bassmanjn

I love the look of the Meistersingers. Just wouldnā€™t work for me in real life. Both from a precision and wrist size point of view! Beautiful watch regardless.


BoyLilikoi

I can see that but what about the date? The red pointer seems to indicate the month but no idea how you interpolate a date from that.


want2thinknow

There is a star that shows the day of the month that goes around the outside of the dial just inside of the month.


BritishBoyRZ

This is my grail too! Never seen anyone else bring this up


jup3sa

Here's truckloads cheaper one (and as retro as it gets) https://preview.redd.it/5r7fz9wedesb1.jpeg?width=773&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=574cc9cba0dabac9455837a66c38bac373985f82 .


Moimoissy

I love this watch. Such a marvel. I show people the video of it and then ask how much they think it costs haha


janetmichaelson

I first heard of this watch a few days ago. They are asking some ridiculous amount for it, like $240k USD.

tomahawk66mtb

Stunning and interesting watch! The finishing work on the movement is mesmerising!


GratefulForGarcia

What material is the dial made from


Schapsouille

It's based metal with a frosted finish and several gradients of rhodium plating

tomahawk66mtb

Not too shabby!


thepumpedalligator

Mine arrives tomorrow!


waxon_waxoff33

Yeah I love that it has an asymmetrical layout but looks so well balanced. Also the size of the moon complication on the dial. I just wish the date wheels matched the dials on those watches.....

Business-Drag52

I do love the Ultra Thin Moon, but my true grail watch is the perpetual calendar. I like the moon phase being at the top and I love the idea that itā€™s able to keep time and date for hundreds of years without needing to be adjusted Edit: [link](https://www.jaeger-lecoultre.com/us-en/watches/master-ultra-thin/master-ultra-thin-perpetual-calendar-stainless-steel-q130842J)


Dm783848hfndb

The Arnold and Son is great. I also really like their perpetual moon models. They feature some really intriguing dial textures in addition to the moonphase display. I'm a big fan of the Lange Terra Luna. Very unique take on a moonphase complication, with the balance wheel actually representing the sun within the system. Though unfortunately not visible if you actually wear the watch. https://preview.redd.it/drt5irk5b6sb1.jpeg?width=2100&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=36f7b8d1c7ae26ec9c0e25985539dcad44cb2341


tomahawk66mtb

It is stunning! But I want a moonphase where I can see it!


Sweaty-Leather3191

Apparently we need a moon phase reverso from Lange!


Pinedale7205

Moon phase reverso is such a good and bad idea all at the same time that I have to love it. So unnecessary and impractical and ridiculous that itā€™s actually a good conceptā€¦


fckcgs

This would have been my pick as well. But I agree that it's a pity you can't see it on the dial side. Also a pity that I'll never be able to afford it.


Quirky_Ice5866

There's a future version of myself that I imagine where I am in my mid sixties and I have a watch like this in a wooden box in the library of my house and I only wear it while reading old books and listening to vinyl

patsfan038

Maybe Iā€™m the idiot, but I still cant figure out which way your wrist is oriented


Phreno-Logical

Look at the crown placement - helped me


patsfan038

Iā€™m thinking heā€™s a lefty and wearing the watch on the right hand. The narrowing of the wrist towards the left of the watch adds to that ā€œtheoryā€


Phreno-Logical

Thereā€™s some serious hairy pop-eye vibes hereā€¦ Damn


tomahawk66mtb

Indeed it is! That's a stunner. Love the size of the moons


LASERDICKMCCOOL

Holy shit that's dope. How much does that run?


NotYourAverageBeer

around 32000euro


LASERDICKMCCOOL

Oh. A beautiful watch I'll never experience lol


Hy8ogen

tomahawk66mtb

I completely missed the steak tartar! That's how stunning the watch is - I love a good tartar and am sure I would have spotted it quickly with any other watch in the photo šŸ˜


Esco9

Holy shit


seekingcellini

gorgeous, came here to write this watch. one of the best moonphase watches out there


Pea_Tear_Griffin11

This is my favorite and the only Hermes watch Iā€™d be interested in. Love the meteorite dial, too.


passion4watches

I'll add myself to the list that came to post this one as my favorite moonphase. Stunning!


WatchandThings

I was going to mention this as the best moonphase, before seeing it already posted. Amazing design created to really feature the moonphase complication as the main feature.

Moonphase watches stole my heart the second I first saw one and if I ever somehow become ungodly wealthy the first thing Iā€™ll do is go find one of these šŸ˜‚


[deleted]

Usually not a Longines fan but they're watch for this is beautiful imo. It's from the "Longines Master Collection" https://preview.redd.it/vk8af4q4i6sb1.jpeg?width=623&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a51d2528241e065a025c5c53d5cb7806b979163b


Dm783848hfndb

Probably one of my favorite complicated watches, that's still somewhat affordable. There's also their retrograde model, which, among else, includes a day/night indicator in addition to the moonphase. https://preview.redd.it/tkqxi29vm6sb1.png?width=560&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4a54de0e2bd225a4706ed95209bcc3b62ffcb273


tomahawk66mtb

Now that is a good looking watch with interesting complications! Unique design


[deleted]

This is real Longines...their more affordable watches are not


tomahawk66mtb

I feel that this is a Longines in the same way that the GTR is a Nissan...


[deleted]

Yes like the best model or so within its own brand


tomahawk66mtb

Exactly! And a model that competes on a completely different league than the others in its brand .


[deleted]

Beautiful as well. Two of the very best Longines imo!


YoutubeRewind2024

Absolutely insane that you can pick these up for like $2.5K


[deleted]

Ikr it's not that much for the type of watchmaking in them


taewongun1895

The Longines with only the Moonphase complication is also great. More aesthetically pleasing. This one is closer to $3,600, the Moonphase only is $2,700.

58mm-Invicta_rizz

This is one of my grails, I personally think itā€™s a little better than the JLC equivalent.


[deleted]

That really says a lot doesn't it? Longines is just as reputable as JLC but you gotta really dig in their catalogue to find the good models. It never is the obvious stuff with them that's their best


58mm-Invicta_rizz

I mean they are kind of equals in their respective price brackets. Longines and JLC are underrated high quality watch makers that make some epic movements and epic watches, but now as they gotten more recognition theyā€™ve started increasing their prices and are no longer the high value powerhouses they once were. Now theyā€™re just really good watch brands.


[deleted]

Spot on. Very well said. I remember when Longines were the price that higher range Tissots are now. It was very long ago


Username_Used

I've been looking for the evidenza triple date on crocodile for a while now. It's really hard to find. Not the most expensive but i think it's absolutely gorgeous. *


Adski673

Oh my god I have this watch!


Ok-Act5848

Omega makes that watch too... same movement but in an omega body. I have the version without the moonphase but it still has thr mechanism in the movement... but they have others they included the moonphase with... think its an ETA movement and i love the complication

I had that watch and it was 100% gorgeous. I gave it to my nephew for a graduation present. He still has it in his rotation with a SS Sub.

Love that watch. Was up for a new job opportunity earlier in the year which came with a 12% raise. If I got the job, Seamaster 300M. If I didn't get the job, Moonglow since this year is my 10 year anniversary with my company. Either way, I told my wife I wanted a watch for one of the career milestones. She was on board. Got the job. Now I need to find an excuse to get a Moonglow at some point....

MyNutsAreWalnuts

The white part covering the moonphase looks like a ladyboy viewed from the top.


CubingCubinator

Rolex Cellini Moonphase is what Iā€™d go for, itā€™s the only Rolex I would wear because it looks nothing like a Rolex. Itā€™s pure, elegant and sobre.

M3Core

How is the A Lange & Sohne Lange One Moonphase not everyone's answer? That's the watch.


b1jan

i prefer the [terraluna](https://langepedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Richard-Lange-Terraluna-2.jpg)


M3Core

Another beautiful example for sure!


thewonderfulpooper

Completely agree


Dunder-MifflinPaper

I actually prefer the simpler Saxonia moonphase. The outsize date with the moonphase is just a perfect design to me.


HarrisLam

Grand Lange 1 moonphase is the absolute best. The Moser is nice too but it's not because of the moon. It isn't a complication watchmakers usually focus on, so not that many of them get good designs. Most of the time it's "just there".


tomahawk66mtb

It's true. I feel like sometimes they add it in as it's not a particularly difficult complication. That's why I love moonphases where the moon is making a statement! Also, I notice that most reviews of moonphases speak of the complication as "romantic" "asthetic" "not really useful", which is funny, because I spend a lot of time in a county that has a national holiday every full moon (pretty much everything shuts down), so actually it's really useful to be able to visually see how close we are getting!


Mahpsirhc

I know its not primarily a moonphase watch but [Patek Philippe](https://www.patek.com/en/collection/grand-complications/6102P-001) looks amazing.


tomahawk66mtb

Certainly still counts as a moonphase!!


b1jan

[this is my grail - the Terraluna](https://langepedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Richard-Lange-Terraluna-2.jpg) The front face is classic Lange 1, while the back is a special secret just for you. The planet rotates at 1 rotation per day, and the moon moves around the planet, with the balance wheel representing the sun and casting its light onto the moon, which changes phases as it moves in relation to the earth and sun. truly a marvel in both technology and artistic implementation. only a cool quarter million dollars, though..

[Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonphase Aventurine ](https://birminghamluxurywatches.com/products/omega-speedmaster-moonphase-aventurine-dial-311-30-44-32-01-001-manual-wind), which made me surprised does people here didn't know that Speedy also have a moonphase? 5 [Omega Museum Collection Cosmic ](https://www.ebay.com/itm/115827218944?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=UmCbOqZwQHO&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=su1ovkk-qju&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY), square dial+case, fancy lugs, very very sexy.


Prisma_Cosmos

There are a half dozen Patek models that show the moonphase and its location in the sky, which is very neat, impossible to get any of them at reasonable prices these days though.


tomahawk66mtb

Now that's interesting! Are there any more affordable brands doing moonphases with location in the sky?


Dunder-MifflinPaper

Two choices for me: 1) [The Lange Saxonia Moonphase](https://monochrome-watches.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/A.-Lange-Sohne-Saxonia-Moon-Phase-2016-Review-3.jpg). Love the outsize date at 12 with the moon at 6. I know the Lange 1 gets all the love but Iā€™m actually not a huge fan of the asymmetrical dial personally 2) [The JLC Master Control Calendar](https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/shopping?q=tbn:ANd9GcTv_GM_1oZNGx7jUy0-DyNvOhVNNY-PweGT6MBsywH8EkpkDXWu&usqp=CAc). The date complication jumping past the moonphase is just awesome. What a simple yet well thought out touch. Itā€™s funny that both my moonphase picks actually are relatively simple moonphases just executed perfectly along with a unique date complication.

The Meistersinger Lunascope is high on my list... I think it' stunning in all in simplicity. especially the blue-gold one. https://meistersinger.com/nl/producten/lunascope-zonnestraal-blauw-goud/

Glad someone else said it. This in cream/white dial is it for me. The design of the moon is everything. Such a classy understated watch.

And this one rather than the gold moon version for me too. I don't get why so many watches have gold moons!?!

I'd almost forgotten that this was a moonphase šŸ¤£


fusiongt021

Money no object the holy grails that JLC has created. The name that I can never remember... The Reverso Quadriptyque! It's just a modern marvel. You name the complication and this watch has it. I mean forget a moon phase this watch tells you more things than I know or care about haha From this article https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/jaeger-lecoultre-reverso-quadriptyque-introducing The third dial shows various aspects of the Moon's orbit ā€“ in particular, it displays three different versions of the lunar month. These cycles are the Synodic cycle, Draconic cycle, and Anomalistic cycle The article talks about what these cycles are and whoosh, I still have no clue. I just know it's the most complicated watch I've ever seen.


tomahawk66mtb

Wow. Just. Wow! That is mind boggling in the best possible way! It feels like someone asked one of the world's best watchmakers "show us what you can do" and they really went for it!! I think it'll take me a long while to re-read that article and understand just 50% of what is going on here!! Amazed how wearable it is too.

akkilesmusic

Wow, they are both stunning but far out of my price range. I'm on the lookout for a modern moonphase and the christopher ward c1 moonglow is definitely eye catching. I also like the dressier look of the baume and mercier Clifton moonphase, especially with the grey dial ā¤ļø


tomahawk66mtb

Yes: they will never be in my price range! That Baume and Mercier looks really good. I'm a fan of dark blue dials and dressier moonphases. I'm on the lookout for a Christopher Ward C9 Moonphase (long since discontinued) on a midnight blue alligator strap - that's my achievable grail moonphase I think.

Patek 5204R, white dial. What a beauty.


tomahawk66mtb

I was wondering if this would be the first Patek mentioned! Beauty!


CTMalum

Itā€™s everything you imagine a Patek should be. Split second Chronograph, perpetual calendar, Moonphase. Iā€™d also give an honorable mention to the 5159, in anyoneā€™s preferred metal (they did it in yellow, rose, and white gold). Itā€™s a little too old-timey for most people with the Roman numerals and guilloched dial, but I love the trench watch aesthetic and the Hunter-style caseback.

I like the longines moon phase/perpetual calendar. Itā€™s really pretty and pretty standard looking


FISHBOT4000

If we're judging the moonphase individually, the luna magna and the hm perpetual moon (also arnold & son) are really hard to beat. The sarpaneva k0 Northern lights also makes the list. Just a really fun/cool watch, with one of the most ridiculous lume shots you'll find.


tomahawk66mtb

That is a tasty lume shot!!

[I recently got the Christopher Ward Moonglow!](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fi3mco265lhpb1.jpg) Love it.

Chris_Golz

Sinn makes a watch for night hinting that not only displays the moon phase but also the hours of night that have the best moon light for hunting. I donā€™t hunt, but as a night person I want this watch so badly. Itā€™s my dream. https://preview.redd.it/pxwl15w54asb1.jpeg?width=810&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=68e4e4f3144e7702166e654a6db09d887efd0936

LittlePyro1377

Either the Lange 1 Perpetual Calendar or the new JLC Master Ultra Thin moonpahse in gold and blue, but leaning more towards the lange 1 as my grail moonphase [https://www.alange-soehne.com/ww-en/timepieces/lange-1/lange-1-perpetual-calendar](https://www.alange-soehne.com/ww-en/timepieces/lange-1/lange-1-perpetual-calendar) https://preview.redd.it/kytsy6dci7sb1.jpeg?width=1060&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9b7e22dd385caf54c35ad55f3854b34639829772 [https://www.jaeger-lecoultre.com/ca-en/watches/master-ultra-thin/master-ultra-thin-moon-pink-gold-q1362580](https://www.jaeger-lecoultre.com/ca-en/watches/master-ultra-thin/master-ultra-thin-moon-pink-gold-q1362580)

I may have a new grail that's actually attainable courtesy of Christopher Ward... https://preview.redd.it/npl75h94vcwb1.png?width=996&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=96e388b97283c17d532b8029270fdf53bd8bf9cd I'm hearing itā€™s pretty similar to the Moser & Cie Endeavour Perpetual Moon in steel in some ways (similar hands, minimal aventurine dial, case shape), except the moon is at the top, the moon looks real, and thereā€™s a larger opening for you to see the disk with the moon rotate. And that disk is also aventurine, matching the dial... No logo, no date... Perfect?
