From the side it is perhaps a little thicker than you would expect – due to the Dubois Depraz calendar module – but all-in-all the dimensions and case shape make for a watch that’s incredibly comfortable on all but the very smallest and very largest of wrists. In proportion, the Meister Kalender’s 40.4mm case is closer to the size of a modern dress watch than a vintage triple-calendar and appears larger than its physical dimensions, thanks to the domed plexiglass crystal and gentle curve of the dial below it, which runs right to edges of the bezel-less steel case.
Designed and assembled in Germany, and powered by a Swiss-made automatic movement, it offers all of the charm of a vintage piece with none of the mechanical worries. The Junghans Meister Kalender in Sunray Blue is a modern take on the classically styled triple-calendar moonphase watches of the 50s and 60s. Let’s check them out: Junghans Meister Kalender Each of them contains a Swiss Made movement, is steel cased, around 40mm in size, has an RRP of less than €4,000 and is interestingly different from the next. With so many options to choose from it’s hard to know where to start, so to help you find your first moon phase watch, we’ve picked out three of our blue dialled favourites that are currently available from Montredo. But our fascination with the sky at night, and the way that watchmakers interpret our closest celestial neighbors’ 29.5 day passage across it, continues to make watches with astronomical complications a popular choice. From GMT functions to triple-calendars, chronographs to depth gauges, there are horological complications designed to provide the wearer with all sorts of important information.Īrguably knowing the motion of the moon is not terribly important today (unless you are concerned with ocean tides or werewolves), and probably wasn’t when Patek Philippe first introduced it to a wristwatch in the 1920s. Wearing a watch is not a complicated process, but that’s not to say that the watch on your wrist cannot be embellished with a complication or two.
