Inspired by traditional astronomical complications, it is a decorative and poetic display. On this Alba, the sun and moon follow one another across a lovely starry blue sky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it a true moon phase?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a day\/night indicator (sun and moon) and not a moon phase in the strict horological sense: the disc follows a 24-hour cycle, whereas a moon phase reproduces the lunar cycle of around 29.5 days.
