This horology masterpiece represents a special interpretation of the rotating 3-dimensional real moon indicating the true moon phase.  The moon rotates around the earth every 29,530588853 days. A hand-made 3D miniature moon indicates the moon phase so accurately that it deviates only one day in 11.000 years. It is the most accurate 3D moon phase in the world ever incorporated in a mechanical watch.
