Moonphase Setter vs Escapement

Complete the Universe on Your Wrist. A moonphase watch is at its most beautiful when it shows the moon that's actually in the sky. Moonphase Setter tells you exactly how far to move it, and guides you through every turn or press. ■ How it works 1. Take a photo of your watch dial. 2. Line up the moon on the dial with the target moon, by hand or with AI analysis. 3. Follow the instruction: how many times to turn the crown, press the corrector or pusher, or turn the hands. ■ Step-by-step adjustment guide • Supports crown, corrector, pusher and hand-rotation movements • Crown that can turn backward? The shorter direction is suggested • Tap a counter with each turn or press so you never lose count • Re-take a photo afterwards to verify the result ■ Protects your movement Between 9 PM and 3 AM many movements are changing the date or moonphase, and adjusting can strain the gears. The app warns you during this window, in your observation location's time zone. ■ My Watches • Save each watch with its adjustment method and photo, and start your next sync in a tap • Re-sync reminders: the app estimates how far each watch has drifted since its last sync, from its gear train, and lets you know when it's about a day off ■ AI watch identification Not sure how your watch is adjusted? Identify it from your photo, then open its manual to check the moonphase setting. ■ Moon calendar See a whole month of moons with each new moon, quarter and full moon, and jump to any date. ■ Accurate for where you are The moon is calculated for your location and time zone. Use GPS or search for any place, with a southern-hemisphere view when you need it. ■ Premium More daily AI analyses, unlimited watches and no ads. The adjustment guide, danger-time warnings, manual verification and re-sync reminders are always free. Adjustment methods vary by model and movement; please check your watch manufacturer's manual for details. Give your timepiece the gift of perfect synchronization.

Escapement is a reference clock for setting a mechanical watch precisely. A full seconds hand sweeps a clean dial. Hack your watch, wait for the minute, push the crown back in. A SIGNAL ON THE MINUTE Watching the screen while you hold a crown is awkward. Turn on the minute signal and Escapement ticks through the last five seconds, then marks the exact minute with a distinct cue, as a haptic pulse or a soft tone. You can look at the watch instead of the phone. THE SCREEN STAYS AWAKE No dimming halfway through a sync. While the clock is open the display stays on. MOONPHASE A photoreal moon rendered from NASA elevation and albedo maps, showing tonight's phase with real terminator shadows. It gives you an accurate disc to set a moonphase complication against, and tells you when not to touch the corrector. ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN AND IN STANDBY A widget for the Lock Screen and StandBy with the time, the date and the current phase. HOW TO SYNC Step-by-step guidance for setting the moonphase disc, hacking the seconds, choosing the moment and verifying the result afterwards. PRIVACY There is no account and no analytics, and the app makes no network requests. Escapement reads your device clock, which iOS already keeps synchronised, and computes the moonphase locally. Free, with no ads and nothing to unlock.
