Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon launch Fossil's #ShiningStar collection

For a lot of us, looking up to the moon is more figurative than literal, and our fascination with the moon has translated into symbolicity, romance, and in more ways than one - into art. Much the same way, for the watch collector, every timepiece they own is symbolic of their horologist inclinations. Tickling the astronomical nerve of watch-lovers, Fossil’s new Shining Stars collection features watches that are powered by the moon’s movements – and are bound to have you feeling like there’s a lunar/celestial event unfolding right on your wrist.  

The Neutra Moonphase – for him

 The collection’s Neutra is built on the principles of balance and proportion, of a harmonious blend of sophistication and quality. Powered by innovative engineering, the watch's Moonphase movement keeps track of the lunar cycle and features a minimal design that offers enhanced functionality. Inspired by the clean-lined look of mid-century modern design, the Neutra is a straightforward, uncluttered, and functional dress piece, making it the go-to option for work and play, and is available in five variants in both leather strap or stainless steel bracelet. The sunray dial is encased in stainless steel, and features day and night dials with genuine Japanese moonphase movement.

The Jacqueline Day/Night – for her

Fossil’s classic Jacqueline has been upgraded with a day and night movement, presenting the Jacqueline Day/Night – a whimsical 3-hand watch featuring a dial that’s embellished with ornate mother-of-pearl clouds with a refined starry sky graphic. As the day goes on, a moon or sun gradually appears on the dial, allowing you to follow their movement throughout the day. Additional clear glitz crystals on the top ring and polished 5-link bracelet really makes the Jacqueline Day/Night sparkle, much like stars in the night sky. Also available in five variants, the Jacqueline Day/Night is a quintessential piece for any time of the year. 

Available on www.fossil.in and Fossil retail stores.

Fossil Shining Stars - FAQs 

  1. What is the shining stars collection by Fossil?

Answer: The shining stars collection includes the Neutra Moonphase and the Jacqueline Sun / Moon watches. Each watch features a novel movement that tracks celestial features with a harmonious blend of sophisticated details and quality finishings. 

  1. What is the difference between a moonphase and a day and night watch?

Answer – The moonphase movement keeps track of the lunar cycle by way of sophisticated engineering. The sun / moon movement indicates the time of day or night. As the day goes on, a sun or moon gradually appears. 

  1. What are the different types of moonphase watches?

The types of moonphase watches are namely ‘bosom’ and ‘radial’. While the bosom moonphase watch graphically showcases the moon’s different phases inside a crescent-shaped aperture, the radial moonphase watch tracks the lunar cycle through an indicator hand.

  1. How does a moonphase watch work? How does a day and night watch work?

Moonphase complications typically involve the placement of two identical moons on a disc under the dial. A 59-tooth driving wheel controls the movement of the disc using a mechanical finger to advance the disc once per day. On the completion of a  single 29.5 day lunar cycle, the second moon appears in the aperture resulting in a total of 59 teeth (29.5 x 2). While the driving wheel remains constant, the details of the underlying moon disc will differ depending on the design of the dial and aperture.  

  1. What does the position of rest of a moonphase watch indicate?

It indicates that the watch is running 

  1. How to set the moonphase time and display?

The time of a moonphase watch  can be set by following three simple steps as follows:

â—‹            Pull the crown out to position IIII (watch stopped)

â—‹            Turn  the crown until the current time is displayed (remember the 24-hour cycle)

â—‹            Push the crown back to position L

There is no quick change-correction available for the moon phase display. However you can set the moonphase display by following these steps:

- Pull the crown out to position IIII (watch stopped)

- Turn the hands forward by turning the crown , until the current moonphase display appears

- Push the crown back into positon II and set the current date using the quick change

- Push the crown back to position I.

  1. How to apply the quick change correction for date?

-             It's imperative to note that blocking time for quick change date correction is from approx 9.30am to mid-night 

-             Pull the crown out to position II (watch is still running)

-             - Turn the crown until the current date appears

-             Push the crown back into position I.
