Real Moon Joure Guilloché Black with its three-dimensional Moon

Astronomical Masterpiece - CKRJ3344

CVDKReal Moon Joure Guilloché Black

The CVDK Real Moon Joure is centred on a rotating three-dimensional Moon that reproduces the true lunar phase with exceptional accuracy. Its mechanism deviates by only one day in 11,000 years, making it the most accurate mechanical 3D moon phase in the world. This version combines the complication with a black guilloché dial, a 40 mm stainless steel case and black ostrich foot leather.

A lunar complicationin darker tones

The Real Moon Joure approaches the Moon not as a printed display or a flat disc, but as a miniature three-dimensional celestial body. As it rotates, it reveals the changing phase of the Moon with a directness that is both mechanical and sculptural.

Its underlying cycle follows the Moon’s 29.530588853-day orbit around Earth with extraordinary precision. The resulting deviation of just one day in 11,000 years places the Real Moon Joure among the most exact lunar displays ever made for a mechanical wristwatch.

Specifications

The Real Moon Joure displays hours and minutes together with CVDK’s signature three-dimensional moon phase. The rotating miniature Moon shows the true lunar phase through its changing relationship to light and shadow.

The most accurate 3D moon phase

The Moon completes its orbit around Earth in 29.530588853 days. Reproducing that cycle mechanically demands an extremely precise ratio within the gear train if the lunar phase is to remain accurate over time.

The Real Moon Joure answers that challenge with a rotating, hand-made three-dimensional Moon that shows the true moon phase with a deviation of only one day in 11,000 years. The complication was recognised internationally when the CVDK Real Moon Joure was awarded European Watch of the Year 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.
