Independent luxury Swiss watch brand VICENTERRA has reintroduced its Sale by Subscription concept for two new timepieces from its LUNA series. The VICENTERRA LUNA Volume 2 and Volume 3 watches are garnished by the earth, the sun and the moon, 3 separate yet intertwined planes.
After successfully producing its first subscription watch GMT 3, the brand launched a new model named LUNA in 2013. Following the success of the Volume 1 model, LUNA expands this subscription series by launching new editions named volume 1 and 2.
VICENTERRA LUNA Volume 2 & 3
In the new LUNA collection, the phases of the Night Star are visible through an encased globe, quarter by quarter. The earth indicates the geographical zone of the Sun at its zenith, or simply put, where it’s noon on earth at any given time.
The magic of these two stars is complete with the rising and setting of the sun, which gives way to a magnificent starlit night. The LUNA models house an automatic Seed VMF 3002 Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier movement, to which an exclusive VICENTERRA module is added.
The LUNA Volume 2 model is a limited edition of 99 pieces. The Volume 3 comes in 3 different dial colors, black, white, and blue. The VICENTERRA LUNA Volume 3 watch is limited to 99 pieces each.
In honour of the launch of these new models, the first 100 timepieces ordered from any version of the LUNA Volume 2 and Volume 3 collections are offered by subscription at a very attractive price.
