Ariadne Maroon chronograph with a maroon dial and the moon phase at 6 o’clock

Collection of the Stars - CKAR3377

CVDKAriadne Maroon

The CVDK Ariadne Maroon combines a full chronograph, calendar indications and a Super-LumiNova moon phase within a balanced 40 mm case. This version stands out through its rich maroon dial, with both the smaller counter rings and the outer ring executed tone on tone for a more integrated and distinctive appearance.

Ariadne in a warmertone-on-tone expression

The Ariadne brings together a broad range of mechanical indications within a compact and well-balanced design. Chronograph counters, calendar functions, a 24-hour indication and moon phase are arranged clearly across the dial, while the maroon colourway gives this version its own character.

What distinguishes this Ariadne is its tone-on-tone execution. The smaller counter rings and the outer ring are matched to the maroon dial, creating a more unified appearance, while the applied white rhodium-plated indexes and burgundy strap provide contrast and refinement.

Specifications

The Ariadne combines hours and minutes with small seconds, a 24-hour indication and a complete calendar displaying day, date and month. Its chronograph measures elapsed seconds, minutes and hours, while the moon phase at 6 o’clock adds the astronomical indication.

Caseback

The CVDK Ariadne Maroon is driven by the automatic CVDK7758. The movement uses 25 jewels and offers a power reserve of up to 48 hours, powering the time, calendar, chronograph and moon phase indications.

Chronograph & Moon Phase

The Ariadne combines a full chronograph with calendar and astronomical indications. Elapsed time is measured through seconds, a 30-minute counter and a 12-hour counter, accompanied by day, date, month and a 24-hour indication.

At 6 o’clock, the moon phase shows the progression of the lunar cycle. When the Moon appears to the left of centre, it is in its first quarter; at the centre, it is full Moon; and to the right, it is in its last quarter. When the Moon disappears, the window reveals a starry sky and indicates new Moon.

The Ariadne after dark

Super-LumiNova gives the Ariadne’s moon phase a different expression in low light. The indication at 6 o’clock remains visible after dark, allowing the position of the Moon within its cycle to be read clearly.

On the Maroon version, the luminous effect creates a striking contrast with the darker dial tones, adding a second visual layer to a watch otherwise defined by its rich colour palette and mechanical complexity.

Made in theCVDK atelier

The CVDK atelier produces only a limited number of watches each year, allowing every watch to receive the attention its construction and finishing require. Each watch is assembled by hand, subjected to extensive quality testing and delivered in a dedicated CVDK presentation box with a three-year warranty on the movement and case.
