The innovative feature of this wristwatch is that it displays the various phases of the moon – the waxing from new to full moon and then its waning. Instead of the traditional display, the dial shows a disc that revolves through 360 degrees. This gives the current date and indicates the lunar phase in accordance with the Chinese moon calendar. The watch offers a sensory visualisation of how much of the current month has elapsed already and how much remains.
Statement by the Jury
The modern visualisation of the different phases of the moon is what makes this wristwatch, with its noticeably uncluttered design, so astounding.
