Amazon.com Product Description
In the early days of timekeeping, when the art of horology was beginning to take its form, a watch was not something to be strapped to a wrist or any other part of the human anatomy. The art moved from clocks on a table or wall to a miniature size that one could keep in his pocket. And in those times, the only ones who could afford such a luxury as a personal “pocket watch” were royalty; Kings, Rulers, Emperors, Czars and the like. Stührling Original pays homage to the early beginnings of horology with a spectacular mechanical specimen fit for any Monarch with its Monarch pocket watch. And now, following in the triumphant path of the Monarch mechanical calendar pocket watch, comes the Monarch Moon a genuine moon phase quartz pocket piece. The Monarch Moon from Stührling Original boasts one of the most dynamic features in the world of horology, a genuine moon phase indication. Powering the timepiece is the steadfast Citizen-Miyota 6P21 quartz movement which also allows for the day of the week and date complications. With its retractable stand on the backside, the Monarch Moon makes a great desk ornament with its calendar for those times when you choose not to carry this extraordinary conversation piece in your pocket. The dial is magnificently dressed with vertical embossed striping on the main dial and a concentric circle design on the sub-dials. The silver faceted alpha style hands and markers are striking as they catch and refract the light in all directions. You may feel like a Monarch every time you pull the Monarch Moon out of your pocket to check the time. The case is forged from 316L surgical grade stainless steel with a large domed Krysterna™ crystal on the front to ensure durability. This fantastic multi-complication masterpiece is controlled by the pull-out knurled edge crown at twelve o’clock. The Monarch Moon comes equipped with a 14-inch stainless steel chain with an oversized lobster claw clasp.

Stuhrling Original Men's 142A.EU.PK15 Lifestyle Collection Monarch Moon Quartz Pocket Watch Reviews
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful Gorgeous Pocket Watch, By Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?) This review is from: Stuhrling Original Men's 142A.EU.PK15 Lifestyle Collection Monarch Moon Quartz Pocket Watch (Watch) This is a beautiful watch. It has a very substantial feel to it. Once you pick it up you know that it is high quality. The face is a gorgeous color. There is a stand on the back and a good chain is included. This is not the style that has a cover. Nicely packaged with a polishing cloth included. I don't believe I could have made a better pocket watch purchase at any price. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful Modern functionality, classic style., This review is from: Stuhrling Original Men's 142A.EU.PK15 Lifestyle Collection Monarch Moon Quartz Pocket Watch (Watch) Got this watch as a gift and it's great wearing it around. Makes me wish people would ask me the time more often! It has a nice weIght to it that speaks to its quality. I look forward to wearing a similar wrist watch one day. Definitely recommended. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful Lovely to look at but lousy timekeeper, This review is from: Stuhrling Original Men's 142A.EU.PK15 Lifestyle Collection Monarch Moon Quartz Pocket Watch (Watch) This watch looks beautiful, has a substantial feel to it and was pretty much what I was looking for to replace an existing pocketwatch. But the day/date dials prove hard to read -- find I need a magnifying glass to make out the labels and even then its hard. But its worse feature is that it is a poor time keeper. I would expect quartz movements to be reasonably accurate. But this one loses a couple of minutes a day -- so every time I go to put it on I need to reset it. And the setting process to synchronize the time/date/day/moon phase is straightforward but frustrating. Sure, I can ship it to another country for service but since it sort of works I am reluctant to throw more money into it. Sorry I bought it. |
