This is a reader ranking in which readers rank the 10 models selected in the "Chronos Top 10 Watches Rankings," a regular feature of "Chronos Japan." The theme this time is "Masterpiece Moon Phase Watches." Will you choose it based on design? Or on functionality such as accuracy? We want you to choose the one that evokes romance for you.
Which is your No. 1 watch?
The "Chronos Top 10 Watches Rankings" is a regular feature of the Japanese edition of Chronos. Each issue's theme is chosen by a panel of watch journalists and other watch experts, who select 10 recommended models, and then the top 10 are determined based on the highest number of votes.
Based on this project, we would also like to ask webChronos readers to vote for their No. 1. We would like you to vote for your choice from the 10 selected models by 11:59 PM on Wednesday, December 11th!
This time's theme is "Masterpiece Moon Phases"
"Moon Phase" reproduces the waxing and waning of the moon on the dial. We previously featured it on our YouTube channel "webChronosTV."Moon Phase Live StreamThe topic of practicality was also a topic of discussion at the time. It's fair to say that the moon phase is the least practical of all watch functions. However, the reason why watch enthusiasts are drawn to this mechanism is solely due to the "romance" it embodies. Some are drawn to the unique moon disc designs of each brand, while others find the precision of the moon phase with its reduced error to be romantic. This time, we have chosen to rank the moon phase, a popular feature, but with different standards for what constitutes "liking" it, depending on the watch enthusiast.
