Product Description

Unveiled at the prestigious BaselWorld 2015, the Real Moon Tides timepiece in reference CKRS1124 boasts a luxurious rose gold case housing a captivating silver dial. Expanding the renowned CVDK Real Moon series, which includes the esteemed Real Moon Joure and Real Moon 1980 models, the Real Moon Tides emerges as a remarkable addition to this distinguished line. Setting itself apart with a novel complication, this timepiece showcases the sea level tides alongside a rotating miniature moon, a feat unprecedented in the realm of mechanical watches. Tides, the rhythmic ebb and flow of ocean waters influenced by the gravitational forces of the Moon, Sun, and Earth's rotation, are elegantly depicted in this horological marvel. The intricate mechanism reveals various types of sea tides, with the 'principal lunar semi-diurnal' tide prevailing in most regions. Characterized by a cycle of approximately 12 hours, 25 minutes, and 14 seconds for one full rise and fall, this mesmerizing display unfolds within a dedicated window, illustrating the fluid dance of the ocean's movements. Positioned at the 6 o'clock mark, a remarkable three-dimensional real moon takes center stage, accurately portraying the moon's phases as it orbits the Earth every 29.53 days. Crafted with meticulous precision, this hand-made miniature moon offers a level of accuracy unparalleled in the horological world, deviating by a mere day in 11,000 years. Representing the most precise 3D moon phase complication ever integrated into a mechanical watch, the Real Moon Tides stands as a testament to innovation and technical excellence in timekeeping craftsmanship.
