In every sense, timekeeping arose from man's fascination with the sun and its daily rhythms. The world's first clockmakers used sundials to control the gears and hands we know today. But of all the things they tracked, the lunar cycle was one of the most important.

Today, the moon and its course may not seem as important as it once was, but those who are interested can check out the moon phase feature, a complication in a watch that displays the current phase of the moon as you see it in the sky.

In this video we give a brief insight into the history of the moon phase complication, talk about the phases of the moon and show you how to set the moon phase on a watch.
