Ah, my little Eterna Quartz from the 80s!

I love its unusual design, which catches the eye despite its small diameter of 34 mm. What makes it truly unique is its "triton" bezel in steel, 18K yellow gold and metallic cobalt blue sapphire.
The bracelet, meanwhile, is superbly integrated and two-tone.
Other interesting details to observe include the honeycomb dial, the faceted gold indexes, and above all, the date, which is also gold! In short, it is a magnificent collector's item, from a brand with a rich past.

and its galaxy of details

A project led by nice, creative and humble young people in their communication; which gave birth to a moon phase full of details and polished finishes. 
The MU:N brand has developed an innovative creative space allowing you to design the watch of your dreams (what the ORIGINE brand invented a few years ago in the world of cycling).

More than a watch, an odyssey...

This beautiful Longines Admiral (circa 1970) introduced me to vintage 3 years ago. It also allowed me to understand that for a small budget, you can treat yourself to great emotions! The detail I like; the very discreet red border around the dial, which reinforces the sporty side of this elegant and timeless little watch... I also love its 34mm monobloc Tonneau case which remains very contemporary. It is equipped with a mechanical movement with automatic winding (caliber 507) very precise for the time as evidenced by the 5 stars on the dial which indicated its certification. Speaking of the dial, it is deep black, which allows the applied indexes, stars and logo to shine brightly.

The brand MU:N comes from a collaborative program launched on Kickstarter in 2022 by Thibault Jungbluth and Victor Schouder. MU:N has the concept of offering a new way to participate, influence and follow the entire process of watchmaking creation by co-creating with its community a collection of Moon phase watches. More than 5,500 people participated in the co-creation of the brand's first models.
MU:N offers an ephemeral collection of 3 "Creators" models, Number 11, Number 15 and Number 29 equipped with the Swiss Made Sellita automatic caliber SW288-1a, as well as a permanent collection called "Origine 51" available in automatic version automatic movement or quartz, in steel or gold PVD and with blue and red details.
Note that at the beginning of 2024, the Origine 51 collection was renamed Artemis 51 and presents a new limited series version with a smoke blue dial called Artemis 51 Blue Edition.

(Updated May 2024)

I have been following Mu:n, a young French brand, closely since their launch on Kickstarter a year ago, and I find their bet to democratize the moon phase, courageous and inspiring. I waited several months before receiving my watch and I am impressed by the result: 

The case is not thick and highlights the 38 mm dial. The watch is very light and fits my small wrist perfectly. 

The design is very successful, the dial is refined, and the disc is modern, which I particularly appreciate. The craters and the Milky Way give a level of detail that is astonishing. 

As for the movement, the golden oscillating weight sublimates the finishes of the SW288 caliber. It is worthy of fine watchmaking in my opinion. 

Finally, I had the opportunity to talk with the founders of this French initiative, always very available and transparent, both on their collaborative projects and on the communication of deadlines. I wish this young team and the ongoing Ariane project much success!

Elegance and Innovation

Joining a creative and entrepreneurial adventure led by a young and dynamic team motivated me just as much as the exceptional delicacy and poetry of the models offered. I was lucky enough to be able to acquire the Créateur model number 11, copy 106/150, and it was a delight when I received it. The iridescent midnight blue dial gives a beautiful depth to the moon phase support and to the moon itself. The moon stands out in slight relief from the support dotted with stars reflecting the Milky Way. The back of the watch is just as beautiful with a rotor finely engraved with different tarot patterns. The Créateur series is a limited series, but I can only advise you to acquire a model from the Origine series, they are just as magnificent.

a success full of poetry

Fabulous quality of execution. Very harmonious and balanced watch. The moon phase is hypnotic without sacrificing the readability of the whole. The iridescent blue of the dial forms a deep setting for this detailed moon. The transparent back allows you to admire the exceptional finish of the caliber and the oscillating weight.

Lunar poetry

I am delighted to wear the Mu:n number 11 blue background for a little over a week now. The midnight blue of the dial is hypnotic, the opening that constitutes the moon phase with the starry sky where the moon poetically walks is slightly lighter which makes the whole harmonious. The beauty attracts the eye on the wrist of both men and women, this is good its proportions are contained and will be suitable for all wrists.
