The lunar cycle is a vital aspect of timekeeping, as it was the only way to track months back when sun dials were the only way to track the time. However, human fascination of the different phases of the moon didn’t stop even after the emergence of new ways to track both the time, days, and months. The ethereal feeling that lunar designs evoke is still a powerful way to keep people hooked into a piece; hence, the continued release of different moon phase watches. One captivating moon phase timepiece has been recently released by Jaeger-LeCoultre as part of its Rendez-Vous line, a true beauty with a mesmerizing design called Moon Medium Watch.

Pros
Jaeger-LeCoultre’s intricate design on the Rendez-Vous Moon Medium, with the moon-phase indicator as the focal point, is what makes this timepiece truly impressice. Starting from the gorgeous dial, to the dreamy moon phase complication, up to the technical aspect—every feature is meant to impress any sophisticated lady. Bonus: its chic design looks really gorgeous on the wrist, too!
What we love about this watch is that Jaeger-LeCoultre llows you to pick out the strap that would match your style, with its easy interchangeable strap system. With it, you can choose to wear a watch with an alligator strap (varying hues are available too) or with classy metal bracelets. Despite your choice of the strap, you’ll be assured of glamour given off by the row of diamond outlining the case. Doesn’t it get any fancier that that?
Cons
The only possible aspect to question about Jaeger-LeCoultre Rendez-Vous Moon Medium Watch is the choice to adorn the bezel with diamonds. It’s fabulous and elegant, we agree, but some would argue that it takes the attention away from the dial, which should be the star of this particular design. Non-fans of diamond set timepieces especially pointed that out; but we’re not discounting the diamond-loving women who adore this watch.
