A hymn to the Moon.
Some suggest the 28 day lunar cycle
represents a certain vibe. More than one will
admit to having gone crazy on a full moon.
The sun and the moon are on individual cycles,
even though they do sync up for a new
beginning every 7 years, just like that famous
itch. Some years there are 12 new moons in
the solar year, sometimes 13. Pinning down
the heavens above was a rich puzzle and as
a result, beginnings and ends of calendars
vary from continent to continent, culture to
culture, faith to faith. At the core they all pay
homage to the sun and the moon. Time is
more than money.
Unwittingly, the 30 day average calendar
month, force fitted into the solar year, threw
mankind and progress completely off this beam
of sacred lunar time. During the Industrial
revolution this disconnect helped catalyst
humanity to the marvelous, yet precarious
position we are in today.

As we finally have come to know
to seek sustainability in our relationship with
the blue planet, we must seek a realignment
with time itself as well. Call it Green Time if
you will.
Our LUNA watch collection is a hymn
to the moon, a gift for those who long. Like
with all the YES watches you can at a glance
see times for moonrise, moonset, moon phase
and if the moon is waxing or waning, plus of
course times for sunrise and sunset. At the
push of a button % lunar illumination and
times for the next new and full moon will
show. The spatial 24 hour display of day and
night gives a natural and intuitive view of time.
The digital read-out gives time to the second
for over 500 cities across the planet and is the
perfect wrist companion for world travelers.
Carefully sculpted out of a solid chunk
of hypo-allergenic titanium with a tapered
bracelet with a butterfly locking clasp and an
anti-glare sapphire crystal, it may just be the
most timely gift for her wrist.
The case has a duo polished and satin
finish that signifies day and night, and this is
carried though to the bracelet creating a
nuanced symbolism.
All of the LUNA watches comes included
with leather and rubber band, instruction
manual and jewelers tools for the brave, and
has been set to your time before shipped.

The story of Moissanite.
As meteors slammed into the earth eons
ago the enormous energy exchange created
tiny crystals of silicon carbon. Sparkling and
hard, pure SiC is colorless and shines brighter
than a diamond.
Natural moissanite was first found in 1893
as a small component of the Canyon Diablo
meteorite crater in Arizona by Dr. Ferdinand
Henri Moissan, after whom the material was
named in 1905. Naturally occurring moissanite
is found only in minute quantities in certain
types of meteorite and in corundum deposits
and kimberlite. Virtually all of the silicon
carbide sold in the world, including moissanite
jewels, is synthetic.
Since these bright and bloodless stones
has its origin from a space beyond our reach,
we figured they would be the perfect match
to our spatial time information of the sun
and the moon.
