The sun is a constant – a blazing sphere of light that rises each morning. The moon, equally stunning, illuminates a sense of mystery. Changing every evening – from the delicate shadow of a new moon, to the jagged D formation of a waxing moon as it grows from new to full, to the smooth C shape of a waning moon as it minimizes from full to new – its lure has affected and fascinated the natural world for millenniums. A traditionally styled timepiece the Classico Luna draws inspiration from the moon in a different way. Similar in principle to the Limited Edition Moonstruck’s indication of the moon’s phases and based on a development with Ludwig Oechslin DNA, the Classico Luna precisely depicts the moon’s rotation in a realistic representation. The moon reflects the light of the sun as it rotates clockwise around the earth, and the Classico Luna depicts its angle of illumination as its moon rotates around the center of the timepiece – a portrayal of earth – making one rotation in 12 hours. In its speed to fulfill its moon phase circle in 29.5 days, the color of the moon phase disc will change, increasing and decreasing as the moon wanes or waxes. . . . . . . .
