- 

Christiaan van der Klaauw Astronomical Watches (CVDK) celebrates its 50th anniversary with the unveiling of the CVDK Grand Planetarium Eccentric Manufacture, the world's most advanced mechanical planetarium watch. On the back of revealing this new creation, CVDK went one better with an exclusive three-piece limited edition celebrating the 70th anniversary of Sincere Fine Watches. The CVDK Grand Planetarium Eccentric Sincere Platinum Jubilee Edition is distinguished by a unique dial, oil painted by Gaël Colon. There is a lot to unpack here so let us begin with a brief introduction to the watchmaker Christiaan van der Klaauw.

Renowned for his astronomical works of mechanical art, Dutch master watchmaker Christiaan van der Klaauw has built a reputation by crafting complex timepieces that capture celestial movements. The CVDK Grand Planetarium Eccentric Manufacture, the atelier's most intricate work, is the only watch in the world capable of closely mirroring the reality of all eight planets' orbits as accurately as possible, making it a true marvel of horological and astronomical artistry. Connoisseurs should note the presence of the Earth's moon, and four each for Jupiter and Saturn. This is a unique touch for the CVDK Grand Planetarium Eccentric Sincere Platinum Jubilee Edition.
