How to Set the Moon Phase on a Watch | Crown & caliber

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

In every way, timekeeping was born out of man’s fascination with the sun and its daily rhythms. The world’s earliest horologists used sundials to inform our now-familiar gears and hands. But of all the things they tracked, the lunar cycle was one of the most important.
Today, the moon and its ways may not seem as crucial as it once did, but for those who are interested, there is the moon phase complication. This is a complication in a watch that reflects the current phase of the moon as you see it in the sky.
In this video we’re going to cover a brief history of the moon phase complication, talk about the phases of the moon, and show you how to set the moon phase on a watch.
Video Highlights:

    using a moon phase practically seems a lot more personal/meaningful than using the calendar date for a monthly event. great content as always

    @@CrownandCaliber I own the JLC MUT Moon Phase in rose gold, which is the same model JLC as shown in the video. Nowhere in the owner's manual does it suggest setting the watch to 6:30 before setting the moon phase. No big deal as I don't bother to set both the date, which I can't read without a magnifying glass, or the moon phase anyway as I don't want to risk scratching the watch. It's important to me to have a moon phase but it doesn't have to be an *accurate* moon phase. If I want accurate, I'll just look up at night, lol.

    So what should one do in a month like February? If I advance the date by 3 days at the beginning of March, that will’ ve also advanced the moon phase by three days which isn’t desirable. Same thing for months with only 30 days, just 1/3 as bad.

    Unless the watch is: a "perpetual calendar (way complicated, and thus expensive)", or an "annual calendar (not to be confused with "triple calendar"), otherwise, they don't. The user have to manually advance the date in such case of months with 30 days (or less).

    This is BS as man's fascination with time was from his desire to harness social and political power and to do so you need to being people together at the same time. So principally the church was the central timekeeper to early and developing man and still is to some cultures. Even the days of the week have been built around this control and central calling together of the people every Sunday.
