![]() ![]() The possibility that humans could be affected by the moon’s cycles isn’t entirely foolish. This dates back as early as 400B.C., when physicians and philosophers began to blame behavioural changes on the pull of the moon. ![]() Interesting fact: the word “lunatic” came from the idea that changes in mental state were related to the lunar cycle. Interested? Here’s everything you need to know about the effects of full Moons, and the full Moon rituals you should and shouldn’t do. However, when these rituals are used incorrectly, they can stir up emotions and provoke strange behaviour. It might sound a bit whacky but since full moons are all about endings, these rituals are really just a great way to evaluate where you're at, assess each situation, cleanse your life and recharge your energy levels. Moon rituals are all about harnessing the unique power of the Moon at certain points in the lunar cycle to help in manifesting your desires. They invite us to take a minute and reflect on what’s working (or not) in our lives – whether that’s in relation to work, relationships or health – and proceed with change if necessary.Ī simple way to take advantage of this astrological event is by incorporating full moon rituals in your daily routine. But unlike Mercury retrogrades, they're not prone to causing chaos instead, full Moons are known to be dynamic times filled with manifestation, culmination and self-realisation. However, the new Overseas with Moon-phase and Retrograde Date will be sold exclusively through Vacheron Constantin boutiques.įor more information, please visit Moons (especially when they're Supermoons) can be the most powerful astrological events. Price and availability of the watch are to be confirmed later. It is equipped with a comfort-adjustment system. The bracelet is closed with a stainless steel triple-blade folding clasp with push-pieces. The user-friendliness continues with the strap/bracelet interchangeability – the watch is offered on a steel bracelet with two additional straps in calfskin leather and blue rubber. Watch setting, including time, date and moon phase correction, is done via the crown. The movement is built with 27 jewels and operates at 28,800vph. This decorated calibre with its 22K gold oscillating weight is visible through the sapphire caseback note the compass rose on the weight and circular-grained mainplate. The movement responsible for the functioning of this timepiece is self-winding, 275-component Calibre 2460 R31L/2 with 40 hours of power reserve. The challenge was not only aesthetical but technical, especially in developing the moon phase mechanism, which now has a 135-tooth wheel to ensure accuracy with deviation from the true lunar cycle of one day in 122 years. Vacheron communicates that it took a few months to find a perfect solution for a balanced design and over three years to integrate the retrograde date and precision moon phase into the Overseas line. The tasteful retrograde date display occupies the upper part of the dial. The moon phases are displayed at 6 o’clock and allow reading the number of days passed since the last new moon (age of the moon) as the aperture is graduated from 0 to 29 1⁄2 – the moon makes one full rotation around the Earth in 29 days, 12 hours and 45 minutes. The familiar-shaped white gold indices and hands, including the tip of the blue-tinted retrograde date hand, are Super-LumiNova treated, all dial elements are in harmony, and even the “romantic” moon-phase display does not play down the sporty character of the watch. References 4727 with retrograde day and date were the first, should you wish to check them out. It is worth mentioning that the unusual display made its way into Vacheron Constantin’s assortment in the 1990s, first with the Métiers d’Art collection Mercator models with a double retrograde indication for hours and minutes, to become part of the regular collections later. The retrograde indication is a feature found in the Patrimony collection, but until now, it was not part of the Overseas offering. The Maison adds a reference with a moon-phase display and a retrograde date this year. ![]() Vacheron successfully blended high watchmaking into the sporty-chic Overseas line, offering several complications, including a tourbillon, perpetual calendar ultra-thin, chronograph and dual time models. The collection, updated in 2016, is built around the popular concept of a sports luxury watch, with various editions of the casually elegant Overseas always in high demand. The Vacheron Constantin Overseas collection debuted in 1996 but was viewed by many as a successor to Vacheron’s 222 models, designed by Jörg Hysek (that wasn’t Genta) and presented in 1977. ![]()
