The YES WorldWatch V7, connecting man made and natural time.
Hi. My name is Bjorn and I wanted time information that my Rolex could not provide. So I went ahead and made my own. The V7 combines HRS:MIN:SEC with the daily, monthly and seasonal time cycles of the sun and the moon. At a glance you can tell times for sunrise, sunset, zenith and twilight, plus times for moon rise, moon set and moon phase. Our passion is horology.

Cool watch!
Marc at Long Island Watch showed his. I love this watch! I hope to purchase a model after I have saved enough to do so.
@Illuminatingwatches mentioned your watch(es) in a comment last week. I love the idea, and you'll hate me, but the form factor is a dealbreaker for me. If the purely digital Tati T-OO were round instead of horizontally oval, I'd be very tempted. But I find wide watches uncomfortable.
I apologize for the modern savages that are so disconnected from nature that they don't appreciate the use of the information your watches provide. I've been yelling at them already today to no avail.
Vary cool!!😎
I've seen Marc from Long Island Watch mention this.
Nize one. Unfortunately beyond my price range
This is the ultimate moon phase watch. I bought one, as it was recommended to me by an MIT astronomer friend. It is unique, digitally providing information on sunrise, sunset, moonrise, moonset, length of twilight, etc., and with a novel display on the watch's face with the same information. It also has a special surprise for the solstices and equinoxes. Additionally, it helps navigate multiple time zones, switching with a simple button push.
My only negative is that to get all that functionality, it is on the thick side, though surprisingly comfortable to wear.
I also want to call out the excellent customer service. My watch had a minor flaw, which I asked Bjorn about, and despite saying I could live with it, he insisted on replacing the watch, and the new one showed up 24 hours later...trusting me to return the original—a great experience.
