BaselWorld 2012: Manero Moon Phase Watch by Carl F.Bucherer – a watch with calendar in a gold version

Fans of the traditional art of watchmaking witnessed the brightest events at the annual international exhibition BaselWorld 2012, where the company Carl F.Bucherer has introduced a new watch Manero Moon Phase, made of pink gold.
The special appeal of the watch is a clear dial design, despite the relatively greater number of functions, reflected on the dial. Such clarity is obtained through a special arrangement of the relevant indicators. Thus, all the indicators are located around the center of the dial.
Indicator of the day is placed at the 10 o’clock position, the indicator of the month – at the 2 o’clock position. And the completeness of the non-standard design of the calendar is given by a pointer of the moon phases, which is located at the 6 o’clock position.
The company’s masters have equipped this watch with a function of a calendar by a unique exclusive automatic caliber CFB 1966, which guarantees impeccable precision under virtually any conditions.
Presented at the exhibition the Manero line is a unique example of true craftsmanship, and the Manero Moon Phase watch is the embodiment of elegance and timeless design.
The case of the model with a diameter of 38 mm and a thickness of 10.85 mm is made of 18 carat pink gold. Harmony of external design is complemented by the dial in black or silver, with twelve hour markers.
Given the large variety of complex functions, which could accommodate by the company's masters in the presented model, they also managed to ensure optimal readability attention of the Manero Moon Phase watch. Thus, the optimal readability is provided by a characteristic for series of Manero series wedge time indexes, and pointed hour and minute hands coated with the composition of Superluminova.

Representatives of the company have noted as one of the most attractive elements of the model the pointer of the golden moon lunar disk, which is distinctly shining on a blue background of the dial.
Among other things, the creators of the watch have indicated that the name of this model - Manero, is fully consistent with the value of the word. The word “manero” is translated from the Latin “manuaria”, which translates as "controlled manually."
The discreet design of the watch case of the model hides an incredibly complex mechanical inner peace. High watch skill of this model is presented in an extremely practical design.
