THE MOON PHASE CHRONOGRAPH
The Complication draws on the elegance and precision of the British gentleman, with a quiet nod to the Royal Observatory's legacy of astronomical discovery, uniting guilloché texture, contrast brushed metal, and sculpted lugs in balance. Its modified mecha-quartz chronograph uniquely features a luminous moon phase at 12 o'clock, reflecting precision and wonder.
Inspired by the Royal Observatory
Charting the night sky
For centuries, the Royal Observatory has looked to the heavens, mapping the stars and measuring the passage of time. The Complication carries that spirit of discovery to the wrist, with a moon phase that glows softly at 12 o'clock and turns the cycle of the night sky into something to watch and wonder at. Precision, with a sense of wonder.
Hybrid Precision, Mechanical Soul, LUNAR ILLUMINATION
OUR DESIGN
The Complication speaks to the poise and precision of the British gentleman, taking quiet inspiration from the Royal Observatory's centuries of charting the night sky. Its bespoke 31-day moon phase chronograph, adapted from the VK63 movement, is housed within a sculpted stainless steel case, complete with contrasting brushed and polished finishes and sharply defined horn lugs.
From the two-layered dial, designed for depth and legibility, to its triple-textured surface featuring guilloché engraving, radial brushing, and sunburst finishing, every element reflects considered craftsmanship. The curved, integrated strap hugs the wrist with architectural precision, extending the silhouette of the case with seamless fluidity.
Applied indices and a bespoke typeface inspired by the Piccadilly World Time Clock honour Swan & Edgar’s London heritage, while Japanese Super-LumiNova enhances visibility across every phase.

The movement
At the core of the Complication collection is the VK63 mecha-quartz movement, a hybrid that unites quartz-powered precision with the mechanical charm of traditional chronographs. Its sweeping central seconds hand, crisp pusher response, and instant reset echo the feel of classic horology, while offering modern convenience and accuracy without the need for winding. Most distinctively, we’ve customised the VK63’s original 31-day register to display a moon phase complication, an imaginative reinterpretation that transforms a practical function into a poetic centrepiece. This thoughtful modification speaks to our commitment to balancing innovation with enduring design values.
