Our beautiful Haute Horlogerie Real Moon Joure contains a specially made Green Meteorite dial bearing the most accurate 3D moon phase in the world ever incorporated in a mechanical watch.
WHAT IS METEORITE
A meteor is a space rock - or meteoroid - that enters Earth’s atmosphere. When meteoroids enter Earth’s atmosphere, or that of another planet, like Mars, at high speed and burn up, they are called meteors. This is also when we refer to them as “shooting stars.” When a meteoroid survives its trip through the atmosphere and hits the ground, it is called a meteorite. Most space rocks smaller than a football field will break apart in Earth’s atmosphere.

Beautiful meteor showers
Several meteors per hour can usually be seen on any given night. When there are lots more meteors, you’re watching a meteor shower.

Why do we care about meteorites?
Meteorites that fall to Earth represent some of the original, diverse materials that formed planets billions of years ago. By studying meteorites, we can learn about early conditions and processes in the solar system’s history.

These include the age and composition of different planetary building blocks, the temperatures achieved at the surfaces and interiors of asteroids, and the degree to which materials were shocked by impacts in the past.
What do meteorites look like?
Meteorites may resemble Earth rocks, but they usually have a burned exterior that can appear shiny. This “fusion crust” forms as the meteorite’s outer surface melts while passing through the atmosphere. There are three major types of meteorites: the “irons,” the “stonys,” and the stony-irons. Although the majority of meteorites that fall to Earth are stony, most
of the meteorites discovered long after they fall are irons. Irons are
heavier and easier to distinguish from Earth rocks than stony
meteorites.

How do we know where meteorites come from?
Most meteorites found on Earth come from shattered asteroids, although some come from Mars or the Moon. In theory, small pieces of Mercury or Venus could have also reached Earth, but none have been conclusively identified. Scientists can tell where meteorites originate based on several lines of evidence. They can use photographic observations of meteorite falls to calculate orbits and project their paths back to the asteroid belt.

THE MOST ACCURATE
3D MOON PHASE IN THE WORLD
Our CVDK Real Moon Joure represents a special interpretation of our rotating 3-dimensional real moon indicating the true moon phase. The moon orbits around the earth every 29,530588853 days.
