The watch was designed with “Arlecchino”, a mischievous clown dressed in a diamond-patterned costume, as its motif. The graphic elements were adapted from Alessandro Mendini’s famous wine opener designed for ALESSI. Red and white polka dots, traditional patterns of Czech in Central Europe, are featured as the design motif. The yellow and black color coordination is suggestive of the medieval city of Siena in Tuscany, Italy including its ocher soil and Gothic architecture.

"I like the fact that this watch is named after the moon and expresses its calm roundness and silent mystery.
Watches are generally entirely rational instruments, devised almost exclusively for giving precision to our days.
But this moon-watch, with its image of calm roundness, inspires a peaceful and astral reading and a tranquil progression of time, days, nights and seasons.
As is sometimes the case with the moon, this watch also seems somewhat timeless."
