The Eclipse watch by Christiaan van der Klaauw:
It tells you besides the time, the moon's position in relation to the sun, the date and month. And a separate dial indicates when eclipses of the sun and moon can occur!

I've had the Cvdk Ariadne chronograph with moonphase (a couple of years ago), you are referring to.

That's also a great watch, mine was at the time built to order, with a handmade silver Guiloché dial, made by master engraver Jochen Benzinger.

Those dials are spectacular, you've to see them in the flesh next to a standard 'stamped guiloché pattern' dial, so throw in a 1000 more and you won't regret it!

@bredewold45 YOU ARE SO lucky!!! I am glad you finally got it, I am going to start saving... I saw one moonpahse watch from vanderklaw and it was $5,000. It is a good starting point!!!!

Thank's for your comment, i've seen this watch 5 years ago and couldn't afford it.

Prices went up each year and it took me two years saving mony and selling my other watches to buy this piece.

Some stuff i regretted selling at the time, however from the moment i finally strapped this on my wrist i felt it was well worth it, and i would do it again anytime!

His atelier is one hour away from my city, getting the watch from the maker himself and seeing how the're made was a priceless thing...
