Real Moon Joure Aventurine with its three-dimensional Moon

Astronomical Masterpiece - CKRJ3304

CVDKReal Moon Joure Aventurine

The CVDK Real Moon Joure Aventurine places its three-dimensional Moon against a deep blue, naturally sparkling night sky. The rotating miniature Moon follows the true lunar cycle with a deviation of only one day in 11,000 years, making it the most accurate mechanical 3D moon phase in the world. A 40 mm stainless steel case and blue ostrich foot leather strap complete this celestial interpretation.

The Moon beneathan Aventurine sky

Aventurine glass creates a natural setting for the Real Moon Joure. Fine points of reflected light appear throughout the deep blue surface, recalling a clear night sky without competing with the three-dimensional Moon at the centre of the astronomical display.

As the miniature Moon rotates, light and shadow reveal its changing phase. Beneath this simple visual indication lies a mechanism calibrated to the lunar cycle of 29.530588853 days, with an accumulated deviation of only one day in 11,000 years.

Specifications

Hours and minutes are accompanied by CVDK’s three-dimensional moon phase complication. Rather than using a conventional flat moon-phase disc, the Real Moon Joure presents the lunar cycle through a rotating miniature Moon.

The most accurate 3D moon phase

The lunar cycle lasts approximately 29.530588853 days. The Real Moon Joure translates this astronomical period into the rotation of a hand-made three-dimensional Moon, allowing its illuminated and shadowed surfaces to show the true moon phase directly.

Its mechanical calculation is accurate enough to deviate by only one day in 11,000 years, making it the most accurate mechanical 3D moon phase in the world. The Real Moon Joure’s combination of astronomical precision and mechanical simplicity was recognised with the European Watch of the Year award in 2014.

Made in theCVDK atelier

Every Christiaan van der Klaauw watch is made by hand and subjected to extensive quality testing in the atelier. Each watch is delivered in a CVDK presentation box and covered by a three-year warranty on the movement and case. Watches from the Collection of Astronomical Masterpieces are also supplied with a removable Swiss Kubik watch winder to keep the astronomical complication running accurately.
