THE DIAL
Featuring a tidal chart and reproducing the moon’s rotation and the apparent movement of the sun around the Earth as we observe it, the Moonstruck is designed to make this dance between the sun and the moon intelligible and intensely poetic, even for beginners to astronomy.

THE CONSTRUCTION
While boasting a large 45mm construction, the Moonstruck's combination of titanium, black ceramic and a rubber strap all combine to allow it to wear much smaller on the wrist thanks to its smaller visual footprint and lightweightedness.
