A hymn to the Moon...
Some suggest the 28 day lunar cycle represents a certain vibe. More than one will admit to having gone crazy on a full moon. The sun and the moon are on individual cycles, even though they do sync up for a new beginning every 7 years, just like that famous itch. Some years there are 12 new moons in the solar year, sometimes 13. Pinning down the heavens above was a rich puzzle and as a result, beginnings and ends of calendars vary from continent to continent, culture to culture, faith to faith. At the core they all pay homage to the sun and the moon. Time is more than money.
Unwittingly, the 30 day average calendar month, force fitted into the solar year, threw mankind and progress completely off this beam of sacred lunar time. During the Industrial revolution this disconnect helped catalyst humanity to the precarious position we are in today. As we finally have come to know to seek sustainability in our relationship with the blue planet, we must seek a realignment with time itself as well. Call it Green Time if you will.
Our LUNA watch collection is a hymn to the moon, a gift for those who long. Like with all the YES watches you can at a glance see times for moonrise, moonset, moon phase and if the moon is waxing or waning, plus of course times for sunrise and sunset. At the push of a button % lunar illumination and times for the next new and full moon will show. The spatial 24 hour display of day and night gives a natural and intuitive view of time. The digital read-out gives time to the second for over 500 cities across the planet and is the perfect wrist companion for world travelers.
Carefully sculpted out of a solid chunk of hypo-allergenic titanium with a tapered bracelet with a butterfly locking clasp and an anti-glare sapphire crystal, it may just be the most timely gift for her wrist.
The case has a duo polished and satin finish that signifies day and night, and this is carried though to the bracelet creating a nuanced symbolism.
All of the LUNA watches comes included with leather and rubber strap, instruction manual and jewelers tools for the brave, and has been set to your time before shipped.
The story of Moissanite
As meteors slammed into the earth eons ago the enormous energy exchange created tiny crystals of silicon carbon. Sparkling and hard, pure SiC is colorless and shines brighter than a diamond.
Natural moissanite was first found in 1893 as a small component of the Canyon Diablo meteorite crater in Arizona by Dr. Ferdinand Henri Moissan, after whom the material was named in 1905. Naturally occurring moissanite is found only in minute quantities in certain types of meteorite and in corundum deposits and kimberlite. Virtually all of the silicon carbide sold in the world, including moissanite jewels, is synthetic.
Since these bright and bloodless stones has its origin from a space beyond our reach, we figured they would be the perfect match to our spatial time information of the sun and the moon.
