Orient Sun & Moon "Open Heart": The Mechanical Symphony with an Open Heart

Introduction: The Art of Accessible Watchmaking - The Orient Sun & Moon Collection

Founded in 1950, Orient has established itself as a pillar of Japanese watchmaking, distinguished by its near-total control over its production, notably the in-house manufacture of its own mechanical movements. This vertical integration allows it to offer exceptional value for money, positioning the brand as a preferred entry point for millions of mechanical watch enthusiasts worldwide. Within its extensive catalog, the Sun & Moon collection, launched in 2007, has become iconic. Prized by connoisseurs for over a decade, it is renowned for its refined design and poetic horological complications, all at a highly competitive price. 

At the heart of this iconic collection lies a particularly captivating variant: the "Open Heart" model, also known as the "Semi Skeleton." This version, which is the subject of this analysis, merges a contemporary design with classic touches to offer a unique visual spectacle: an open window onto the beating soul of the watch.
