The World of Campanola, Enjoyed Genderlessly

Since its debut in 2000, "Campanola" has consistently proposed original designs and complex quartz mechanisms, with "the beauty of the celestial sky" as its design concept. The new models feature the smallest case size in the current collection, 36mm in diameter. Based on "the sea," the mother of all living things on Earth, and "the moon," our closest celestial neighbor, the theme is "sea and moonlight," incorporating a moon phase mechanism popular among women.

The dial unfolds a story intertwined with lunar cycles and mythology. The moon phase, originally drawn based on Italian paintings, depicts the expressions from the myths "The Birth of Venus" and "The Sleeping Venus."

The theme of "sea and moonlight" is expressed by engraving the entire dial with patterns that evoke the growth lines of seashells and the shimmering of moonlight on the sea's surface.

In addition to the calendar (date, month, day of the week) function, the moon phase (59-day cycle) indicating the age of the moon offers a graphical flow of time distinct from the movement of the hands. The moon phase, showing the main lunar cycle, is placed at the 6 o'clock position, with the date at 12 o'clock, the month at 3 o'clock, and the day of the week at 9 o'clock.

In a collection where case sizes of 40mm or more are the norm, the compact 36mm case size is likely to be enjoyed by both men and women.
