The watch born once in a blue moon – Enjoy your special moon bathing time.

Story

 

The very first watch allowing you to carry moons on your wrist whenever and wherever you go is born. Over a year effort on research and prototype, our OVD team finally comes up with this breaking design – the BlueMoon Watch.

Time flies back to a night in 2020 Oct, Designer Ricky was walking under the moonlight in the countryside enjoying the 2nd blessing from the Blue Moon. Such moon bathing experience injected power, strength, and a sense of calmness to a person. OVD would like to create a watch with the same calming effect to the world.

 

 

What is Blue Moon?

Blue Moon is a rare phenomenon. Blue Moon refers to the second full moon occurred />in one month. A Full Moon occurs roughly every 29.5 days so when the Full Moon falls at the very beginning of a month, it is highly likely that a Blue Moon will occur at the end of that month. Blue Moons that are blue are extremely rare and only occurs because of specific atmospheric conditions.

 

 

BlueMoon Watch has two 3D moon phases coated with blue super-Luminova BG W9 on the dial. The 3D moon phases are tailor-made so wearer could adjust its location. To create the sense of calmness and stillness, numbers are removed from the watch so there won’t be any distraction between wearer inner self and the moons.

Glowing star map was imprinted on a cloud-shaped lens inserted inside the transparent dial. In the dark, it creates a dusty light effect and the hands with strong-luminova shining through the blue mist to tell the time.

 
 

REAL 3D MOONPHASES EVER

 

The 3D moons could be adjusted by the hidden crown. The crown is deliberately hidden to maintain its simplicity. The crown is completely merged into the watch while looking at the front. The integration of the crown into the streamline exudes the beauty of simplicity – less is more.

 

 

Self-Modified movement

 

Our engineers deliberately apply self-modification onto movement, boldly embed the two 3D moons on the original calendar disc. The moonphase disc will move to the next grid every 24 hours. A total of 31 grids are on the movement to fit the main idea of having two full blue moon in a month.

 

 

The BlueMoon collection comes in 5 combinations:

Europa (OM01), Nebula (OM02), Nibiru (OM03), Gravity (OM04) and Halley (OM05).

 

 

Europa (OM01) is BlueMoon with ashy case, beige dial and sand leather strap to recreate the mineral content in the ice surface on Europa. Europa is the smallest of the four Galilean moons orbiting Jupiter.

 

 

Nebule (OM02) is BlueMoon with PVD ice blue case, blue dial and blue leather strap to recreate the different elements within the nebula resulting in the beautiful glowing blues. Nebula is a distinct body of interstellar clouds.

 

 

Nibiru (OM03) is BlueMoon with PVD khaki case, black dial and black leather strap to represent the transition from the dark mess to a golden future. In Mayan myth, Nibiru is said to be the planet that will collides with Earth.

 

 

Gravity (OM04) is BlueMoon with PVD black case, black dial and black leather strap to represent the region where gravity is so strong that no lights could escape from it.

 

 

Halley (OM05) is BlueMoon with raw steel case, silver dial and brown leather strap to represent the mixture composition of Halley’s Comet – volatile ices and dust.

 

 

 

The rotor of movement is also deliberately modified with attention. Sky map patterns is engraved on rotor. While the rotor is in motion, it will create the lightning bolts stretching across the sky captured by camera in slow-motion. Net-like etching pattern is also engraved on case. This idea comes from the dot and line pattern from the sky map.

BlueMoon features a crystal caseback allowing a view of the rotor movement embedded with glowing stars to honor the history of engineering, craftsmanship and technique. Having an exhibition caseback reminds wearer to take a pause from the hustle life and talk to the inner self.

 

The sapphire crystal is coated with a three-layer anti-reflective coating.

 

 

Matching with a translucent upper surface, the arched edged surface is applied with 12 three-dimensional indexes creating a more sculptural appearance. The movement of the moonphase is special tailor-made to run under the surface. All these have increased the difficulty in producing this watch with very precise calculation and complicated assembly procedures..

 

 

Special Italian crepe leather is used to make the watch more casual and reckless. With the superb craftsmanship of leather craftsmen, each watch carries a textured appearance. The leather strap is equipped with quick release spring bars, allowing users to quickly change their favorite belt styles without any tools at any time.

Preserve your most cherished BlueMoon with our luxury watch roll travel case. Antique finish leather case and the interior is lined with suede. A unique metal warranty card is attached.

 

 

 

 

We are very proud and honored to share this good news with you – the very first OD studio and showroom is officially set up in Taiwan. Located in an artsy neighborhood, OD studio is surrounded by a rich combination of energies, values, and vibes. We hope this would lead us to the never-ending design journey with bolder and creative ideas rolling in.

 

 

A lot of effort and time was devoted to perfecting the BlueMoon. We would like to keep the design united and make sure it truly achieves the same effect as a moon-bathing – to help people take a break and recharge. 

 

 

Huge shoutout to all our fans and supporters. From the first campaign in 2017 to the 10th campaign now, you have been giving generous support and encouragement. You are the reason why we keep going and eager to come up with more unique watch design wishing to bring you a one-of-a-kind experience.

 

 

Upon completing 9 Kickstarter campaigns, we are fully confident in our production time management. Handling all the production processes internally, from procurement of components to assembling part of the watch, from Quality control to shipping, we take full control over the entire production process to make sure everything meets our expectations, and no major shipping delay would occur.
