Proof positive that a lot can be going on in the watch world that we are not all 100% aware of.

This is the Moon Phases from Marc & Darnò. And just who is that? Well, I was asking the same question this morning at 5:00 AM while scrolling through my Instagram feed. An independent brand led by Marco Guarino.

So for now, gentle reader? I am obsessed. The Marc & Darnò Moon Phases is the watch that I have wanted all this time without knowing it. Or as one of my aunties once said to me - "I have loved you since before you were born!"

It is, quite simply, perfect!

With luck I might be able to convince Mr. Guarino to do an interview with me, but for now let me leave you with the pertinents of this remarkable time machine -
