Moonphase One Meteorite
The standout feature of the Moonphase One Meteorite is its exquisite dial, crafted from authentic Gibeon meteorite, which fell to Earth on the ancient continent of Laramidia approximately 80 million years ago. This remarkable material distinguishes the Moonphase One from other models, merging a rich history with refined elegance.
Launched in 2020, the Moonphase project was initiated by Felipe, who recognized a significant gap in the market for 3D moon phase complications. Motivated by this insight, he embarked on a journey to handcraft a 3D moon phase using traditional techniques and manually operated tools—an exceptional approach in modern production.
Our unwavering commitment to traditional watchmaking is evident in our meticulous methods, which go beyond design and finishing. Following the resounding success of the inaugural Moonphase, we are proud to present this extraordinary iteration, showcasing innovative advancements that redefine horological artistry.
The dial of the Felipe Pikullik "Mondphase One Meteorite" is a true masterpiece, crafted from authentic Gibeon meteorite, which fell to Earth over 80 million years ago in Laramidia, now part of western North America. This extraordinary material boasts a textured surface that captures and reflects light in ever-changing patterns, ensuring that each glance at the watch offers a unique experience.
The heat-treated chapter ring and hands exhibit a striking blue-purple gradient, beautifully enhancing the open-worked gear system with exquisitely beveled edges. Hand-engraved details, including "Felipe Pikullik" and "In Berlin gefertigt," provide a personal touch. The prominent moon phase display at 9 o’clock completes the design with elegance and celestial charm, embodying the perfect fusion of artistry and innovation.
The Moonphase movement embodies our most intricate achievement, not only due to the complexity of the complication but also because of our unwavering commitment to handcrafted excellence. The base movement undergoes meticulous enhancements, including precise adjustments to the main plate to seamlessly accommodate the complication. This process demands exceptional precision, as even the slightest imperfection can compromise the final outcome.
The Moonphase movement showcases advanced beveling techniques, with the most challenging aspect being the intermediate beveling within a single bridge, skillfully creating the illusion of two distinct parts. The highly skeletonized movement features stunning sandblasted black rhodium-plated bridges that contrast beautifully with the mirror-polished beveling, highlighting the artistry and innovation of our craftsmanship.

How it started
The moon phase project started back in 2020. At that time, Felipe identified an absence of 3D moon phase complications in the market. Motivated by this observation, Felipe embarked on the endeavor of creating one himself. His aspiration was not only to design a 3D moon phase but also to handcraft it. Employing solely traditional hand-crafting techniques and aided by manually operated tools, Felipe set out to craft gears and components. On a production scale that is a very unusual and rare approach.
Our commitment to preserving the ethos of traditional watchmaking is executed through our production methods and not only by design and finishing.
Following the sell-out success of the first moon phase, we are currently developing two new iterations. These include a variant featuring a meteorite dial for the Moon Phase One, and the Moon Phase 2, a completely new timepiece with exciting innovations.
