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

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.
