Moon phase wrist watches are among the most sought-after and prized timepieces in the world today. These special timepieces follow the progression of the moon in its different phases… from new moon, first quarter and full moon to last quarter.

A moon phase or lunar watch is a highly specialized complication featured on watch dials from some of the most prestigious watchmakers in the world, including Patek Philippe, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Lucien Piccard, Omega, Chopard, IWC, Vacheron and Betrolucci.
