Wow , so rare to see an MB , even on this forum !
Yours is a wonderful example and one of the more complicated examples Martin Braun made back in the day ! - when did you acquire yours ? Here’s a pic of one of my ( simpler ) one ! - bought in 2010 about the time the brand went under I guess . Unfortunate...
Bought recently
Bought mine recently from a friend who was the original purchaser. Sunrise and Sunset seem to be an uncommon complication; even more uncommon than equation of time but certainly more useful. The moonphase on yours is sublime. The shadow disk is what moves...
Yes indeed
It’s the shadow disk that moves ! You’re absolutely right that sunrise /sunset time on the MB was one of the rarest complications, there are plenty of watches with Equation of time , but none apart from MB that I heard with sunrise / sunset
Love the shadow moon complication
I have never seen a moonphase where the shadow moves. Could be that I don't get out enough but I think that implementation of moonphase is super cool. It is also closer to what is actually happening. Any other Martin Braun's out there?
I do believe they are out of production
These are all old pieces from the 00s . Martin Braun launched a new brand called Antoine Martin circa 2012 or so but I haven’t heard anything about that too in the last 6-7 years !
