Celestial inspired watches have a natural relationship with horology as we have been tracking the movements of the sun and moon since the beginning of history. The very first method of tracking time was with the iconic sundial. Nowadays there are a wide variety of timekeeping accessories which can track both the sun and the lunar cycle.

Moonphase watches are becoming increasingly popular within the watch market so we thought we would take a look at some celestial inspired watches. We have picked out watches with both moonphase function as well as watches that have a design inspired by astronomy.
Celestial Inspired Watches
STORM | Celestia Violet Watch
Storm are a brand that are well known for their sleek and futuristic designs that stand out. They are particularly unique and this watch is no exception. It shows off a violet dial with a stainless steel mesh strap for a cool yet elegant style. The key feature of this watch is of course the star and space ship markers as well as the crystal set markers.
Thomas Sabo Jewellery Women’s Glam And Soul Moonphase Watch
If you like accessories that are stylish with subtle colour combinations then this black and silver watch may be what you are looking for. It is a watch with little complications other than the moonphase feature above the 6 o’clock mark. The dial and case is eye catching with a crystal set bezel in a stainless steel silver case.
Coach | Women’s Grand Watch | Gold With Moon Detailing On Face
This is a unique and eye catching watch designed and crafted by Coach. This timepiece is part of their newer collection and shows of a black and gold theme. On the left hand side of the watch is a crescent moon and on the right are four golden stars. This watch does not come with moonphase function, however, it is an accessory fit to make a fashion statement.

The fourth and final watch among our recommendations is this navy blue and silver timepiece from Maurice Lacroix‘s collection. It shows off an elegant and sophisticated design with the added complication of moonphase function.
