Earth’s moon, such as day and night is one of the oldest way for humans to measure the passing of time. Every year the moon passes through 12 phases, each of which takes 29.5 days. From being invisible, starting over as a sickle shaped disc, to the half moon and finally the full moon. It is always there and humanity has relied on this constant timing mechanism for centuries. In 2020, German watchmaker Dirk Dornblüth is introducing their latest novelty – the 99.6-M.
In-house movement
The watch is 40mm in diameter and 10mm high and powered by the brand’s latest in-house movement. Being a hand wound movement, you will find a very handy power reserve indicator at three o’clock. The small seconds for precise setting and reading of the time at nine.
Indicated at six o’clock, you find the moon phase and just below the central hour and minute hand you will find the countdown indicator that indicates whether you are seeing an increasing or decreasing moon.
