Brellum has established itself as a brand to be reckoned with, and the introduction of the Brellum Duobox Triple Calendar Moonphase watch is a testament to their dedication to creating exceptional timepieces.
The Brellum Duobox collection is one of the brand's most popular lines of watches.

This intricate display elevates the classic calendar function to a higher art form. Imagine glancing down at your wrist, not just to tell the time, but also to
Orient yourself within the week – a little reminder of where you are in the grand scheme of things.
At the 6 o'clock position rests the Duobox Triple Calendar Moonphase's namesake feature – the moonphase display.

Tucked subtly near the center of the dial is the day/night indicator. This often-understated complication hints at the time of day with a miniature sun and moon motif. While not attention-grabbing on its own, it adds another layer of playful functionality – subtly reminding you of the passage of time, whether the sun hangs high in the sky or the moon lights your journey home.
Powering this mechanical masterpiece is the Swiss-born Valjoux 7751 automatic chronograph movement. It's a reliable workhorse, known and appreciated by watch lovers worldwide. It's also COSC-certified, a stamp of precision and accuracy not easily earned. And thanks to the sapphire crystal case back, you get a front-row seat to this marvel.

Now, let's talk about how this beauty feels on the wrist. The combination of polished and satin-finished steel creates a stunning visual play. It catches the light without being too flashy, signaling refinement and attention to detail.

Finally, the handmade black alligator leather strap with Brellum deployment buckle adds a luxurious touch – the perfect final element to a watch that whispers quality.
