How to choose a Valentine's Day gift? The moon phase couple watch with good meaning is the first choice
In the watch, the moon phase is a simple, clear and very romantic function in the watch. It perfectly restores the wonders of the celestial body with its exquisite mechanical structure, and faithfully presents the changing law of the moon's cloudy, sunny, round and short. Let's take a look at the lunar phase couple watches that are exquisite and suitable as gifts.
Longines Master
L2.919.4.78.3
The Longines Master Collection is well known to the public for its "eight-hand moon phase", a benchmark product. Since then, the moon phase has become one of the most important functions of the series. The 2019 series once again uses the moon phase as a design element, launching new moon phase watches of 42 mm and 34 mm respectively. They continue the brand's usual style, the overall design is simple and atmospheric, but it also reveals an elegant atmosphere, giving people a low-key and restrained feeling.
L2.409.4.78.3
Both watches continue the classic "wheat grain" pattern of the famous craftsman series. The moon phase display window is at 6 o'clock, and the small hands around the outside indicate the current date. Both the 42mm version and the 34mm women's watch are equipped with the Longines Cal.L899 automatic movement with a 64-hour power reserve.
Zenith Elite
03.3100.692/01.C922
The design inspiration of the Elite series comes from the products of the mid-20th century, revealing a strong retro heritage. This series is mainly in formal style, which is very delicate and decent. The moon phase watch with model number 03.3100.692/01.C922 has a diameter of 40.5 mm, a silver sunray dial, and a small second hand at 9 o’clock. The corresponding 36mm women's model 16.3200.692/01.C832 also adopts a similar design, and is inlaid with diamonds on the bezel, fully demonstrating the unique luxury of women's watches.
Zenith is famous for producing high-frequency movements and has strong strength in movement manufacturing. The Elite 692 self-winding movement on both watches is slim and has a power reserve of up to 50 hours.
IWC Portofino
IW516401
Born in the 1980s, the IWC Portofino series has always been known for its elegance. The simple dial and the design of willow needles are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In the Portofino series, there are many moon phase watches. This time I recommend the combination of this IW516401 with a diameter of 45 mm and IW459011 with a diameter of 37 mm. Their moon phase display discs are both located at 12 o’clock. The difference is that the Cal.59800 movement carried by the IW516401 is Hand-wound movement with a power reserve of up to 8 days (192 hours). The Cal.35800 movement carried by the IW459011 is a self-winding movement.
IW459011
Although the winding method of the movement is different, both watches faithfully continue the simple and elegant style of the Portofino series: the golden hands and indexes and the white dial show this feature vividly.
Jaeger-LeCoultre
Ref.1258420
Jaeger-LeCoultre's two moon phase watches are from the ultra-thin moon phase master series. This series has distinctive features, which not only shows the ultra-thin watchmaking that the brand has always been good at, but also integrates the moon phase function into it, which greatly enriches the connotation of the watch. The 39mm men's Ref.1368420 and the 34mm women's Ref.1258420 both adopt a similar style of minimalist design. The date display hour markers at 6 o'clock surround the moon phase disc, which is a clever combination of design. Make good use of the dial space. The hour and minute hands will show a deep and a shallow visual effect under the refraction of light. This shape is also known as the toffee needle design. Its addition greatly enriches the details of the dial, which is also one of the more recognizable elements of the series.
Ref.1258420
Both watches are powered by the same Jaeger-LeCoultre Cal.925/1 self-winding movement. As a long-established watchmaking brand, Jaeger-LeCoultre is known for producing all kinds of sophisticated and complex movements, and this Cal.925/1 movement is no exception. It consists of 246 parts and is less than 4.9 mm thick, once again demonstrating Jaeger-LeCoultre's strength in the field of thin movements.
In addition to the moon phase display function, these watches all adopt a simple and elegant design style, which is very versatile in shape. Valentine's Day is approaching, you might as well choose a pair of moon phase watches full of beautiful meanings, as a witness to your relationship.
