Launched in 2009, this self-winding astronomical wristwatch simulates the rotation of the Moon around the Earth, as well as the apparent movement of Sun around the Globe. Provided with a quick setting mechanism to adjust the time zone, the Moonstruck is the first timepiece to display not only the gravitational influences of the Moon but of the Sun as well. Its Ulysse Nardin in-house movement with its caliber UN-106 features a silicium escapement and silicium hairspring.
