Taking the dynamic process of moonphase waxing and waning as a timekeeping symbol, Agelocer’s Moonphase Meteorite Mechanical Watch features a lively and funny approach for mechanical timekeeping. A classical moonphase watch usually display the moonphase information in a small window of the dial which is often blocked out by the rotating disc. The current state of moonphase is displayed on the window only to the extent that the disc is rotated to a particular position. However, a tiny window cannot provide a full view of the moonphase waxing and waning, which my substantially hold back the observation and enjoyment of the moonphase. In contrast, Agelocer’s Moonphase Meteorite features a 28.5mm immersive moonphase window that subverts from the traditional small-window moonphase structure. The visualization of moonphase information across the dial allows the wearer to intuitively and clearly observe the moonphase waxing and waning process, thus enhancing the perceived beauty and the viewing experience. The non-return system and the drive structure are modified to increase power output and drive the large moonphase dial. In addition, the 3D nanometer metal printing gives 3D carving effect to the moonphase, and the platinum plating makes the lunar landscape look better. Notably the dial is fabricated from rare octahedral meteorite iron that fell to the Earth from space. This makes each piece of Agelocer Moonphase Meteorite one of a kind work that is unlikely reproduced by hand. The formation of unique crystalline structure is a long process after these meteorite irons evolved over billions of years in the universe. Subject to cutting, polishing and soaking in acid bath, the Widmanstatten Pattern as a typical element of meteorite iron begins to appear on the dial, as if the entire dial were a vast milky way under the reach. This dial is not only an ornamental art, but also gives a deep definition to the unspeakable connection between time and the universe.
