Even deeper moonlight half family, Beidoulanggan Nandou oblique. Tonight I know the spring air is warm, and the sound of insects is a new green screen. This poem is ‘Flight of the Moon’ by the Tang Dynasty poet Liu Fangping. By depicting the positions of the moonlight, the Big Dipper, and the Southern Dipper in the sky, he portrays a peaceful ‘deeper night’ scene, and suddenly hears several insects, highlighting ‘Spring Qi is warm ‘theme. Since ancient times, the moon has been a ‘passion’ for expressing unique emotions in poetry, song, and fu, and often reveals the ancient people’s thinking and regulation of time inadvertently.

    According to archeologists’ archeological findings in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, in 2013, the earliest calendar in human history can be traced back to 10,000 years ago, compared with the Mesopotamia two river basins found about 5,000 years ago. It is 5,000 years before the calendar. The basis of this earliest calendar is the change in the lack of the moon and the arrangement of the phases of the moon. People imitated the shape and replacement of the moon, drew it, and summarized the rules to get the earliest calendar. . It can be seen that the moon is of great significance to the formation of human time view.

Calendar comparison chart about 10,000 years ago

    Because the moon phase is an important basis for the formation of the calendar, when the mechanical timepiece was invented, the mechanics began to add moon phases to it. In the 13th century, mechanical timepieces were born. In the 15th century, due to the geocentric theory advocated at that time, the mechanics began to design timepieces according to the calendar of the time. Among the astronomical tower clocks of many ancient churches, we can still appreciate the earth as In the center, the sun moves along the ecliptic, and the moon rotates around the earth to show the change of the moon phases.

The astronomical clock built in the 1380s. The geo-lunar theory was used to establish geo-moon and geo-sun position indicators.

    Today, although highly developed science and technology can easily realize the complex mechanical functions of the past, as a treasure of historical heritage and different cultures, mechanical timepieces with moon phases are still popular. As an ancient watch brand with a history of more than 180 years, Longines has favored the moon phase. Not only did it produce moon phase timepieces during the pocket watch period, but when the watch became popular, the moon phase was often placed on the dial as the main function. In addition, even complex functions are incorporated into it, adding endless charm to the watch.

Longines Masterpiece Stainless Steel Moon Phase Chronograph L2.673.4.78.5

    In 2005, Longines inherited the tradition of excellent watchmaking technology and launched a new modern timepiece series-famous craftsmen. Mingjiang is a Chinese name, and its real name is Longines Master Collection. Although Master has many meanings, in the world of watches and clocks, it represents a ‘master’ with outstanding skills. It means that he is proficient in a certain craft or technology. people. The purpose of the Longines Master Series, as its name implies, is to create satisfactory timepieces through the brand’s stringent standards for quality. Therefore, the famous craftsman series not only handles the details very well, but also offers modern or classical, diversified styles in design, giving watch lovers more choices.

    As Longines’s classic series, the combination of a famous craftsman and the moon phase is a sum of heaven. Although the moon phase function is not so important in today’s daily life, as an important basis for the calendar in human history, it has significance that cannot be ignored. Therefore, watches with moon phase function are often more emotional and more difficult to release. The famous craftsman series adopts the traditional watchmaking concept, and carefully crafts the moon phase mechanism according to the natural law of the moon’s overcast and lacking, condensing people’s meditation on the moon for thousands of years between square inches, showing us the unique interest of time .

Automatic case with built-in L648 in transparent case back

    More importantly, Longines not only places the moon phase function in the most eye-catching place of the watch, but also combines complex functions with it. Longines master series moon phase chronograph watch, the three complex functions of the moon phase, annual calendar and chronograph are skillfully integrated, driven by the internal L678 automatic winding movement, precise control of the moon phase changes every day, every month, with minimal errors This allows the watch to be fine-tuned even after years of operation. Although the famous master series has a rich list of models, only advanced watches with complex functions will be equipped with the moon phase display function, such as the 24-hour, second hand, day, date retrograde watch.
    Due to the lack of the moon, the rivers and rivers tide, the Ming Taiyin star places, and the years change, the true meaning of the time, no such thing.
