OUR HISTORY
EXPLORING NEW FRONTIERS
The Mu:n Projects bring together a community of enthusiasts and renowned workshops with the moon phase as guiding principle.
From a watch forum to a PROPRIETARY movement
It all began in 2021, on watch forums, with a simple idea: to collaboratively design a moon phase watch. Through questionnaires, surveys, and the first sketches of a Watch Configurator, the project took shape, and the enthusiasm surrounding this approach led to the launch of a first series, Origine, in winter 2022. Since then, the team has grown, ambitions have become clearer, and the community continues to grow.
In 2024, Orion marked a new milestone with a femto-laser-engraved luminescent moon disc, accurate to 0.001 mm. This technical feat was warmly welcomed by the community and propelled the series into one of the most funded campaigns of the year on Kickstarter. This success helped fund and accelerate the development of more ambitious projects, including the design of a modular caliber planned for 2025.
THE COST STRUCTURE
DOWN TO THE LAST SCREW
We have chosen to systematically disclose production costs and the origin of components. If we share details down to the price of a bezel gasket, it is primarily to provide you with a clear understanding of the pricing and feasibility constraints involved in the creation process. The structure of all our editions is available for download on each model's page.

caliber MUN-001 IN Development
Mu:n projects explore the moon phase in all its forms. As a member of these projects, you can follow developments via Instagram channel, the blog, or email and participate in the choices that guide future collections.
The latest project, Ariane, launched in October 2023, has already attracted 9,000 participants. In response to community expectations, we have initiated the development of a modular caliber based on the La Joux-Perret L100, integrating a chronograph, calendar, GMT, and moon phase, with a launch planned for the end of 2025.

the mu:n method
ONLINE CREATION TOOLS
Mu:n projects were born from a simple belief: every enthusiast has their own vision of watchmaking and wants to share it. To bring these ideas to life, we've designed intuitive and immersive tools that allow everyone to create and vote online for a watch, a component, or simply a color combination.
Since the first iteration in March 2022, five tools have been developed and 15,000 creations have been recorded. We then proceed with a funnel-like selection process: at each stage, the options are analyzed, refined, and submitted to new votes, until we arrive at a composition faithful to the collective vision.
THE GUIDING LINE
REINVENTING THE MOON PHASE
As a starting point, we chose the moon phase. This complication comes in various shapes, sizes, positions, and readings. The scope for expression is endless, and we want to restore its full depth.
Map, poetry, conquest: the lunar star questions as much as it fascinates, and the imagination it unleashes inspires each generation. We, in turn, want to make it our own, mark our era with a new representation, and share this story with all enthusiasts.
