CHRISTIAAN VAN DER KLAAUW LAUNCHES THE 8-PIECE CVDK PLANETARIUM EISE EISINGA BLACK DLC SHH EDITION TO COMMEMORATE THE GRAND OPENING OF SHH PENDULUM

 

Sincere Watch Group is proud to announce the launch of SHH Pendulum – a new concept boutique helmed by its subsidiary Pendulum Ltd., at the prestigious Siam Paragon shopping mall in Bangkok, Thailand.

SHH Pendulum, a continuation of a new retail concept pioneered last year by Sincere Fine Watches in Marina Bay Sands in Singapore, has been designed to elevate the high-end watch retail experience, introducing new elements to delight the visual, tactile, and emotional senses of our clients.

To commemorate the grand opening of SHH Pendulum in Thailand, Sincere Watch Group and Christiaan van der Klaauw Astronomical Watches are proud to announce today the launch of the CVDK Planetarium Eise Eisinga Black DLC SHH Edition.

At the start of 2023, recognizing the exceptional talent and expertise that Christiaan van der Klaauw brings to the watchmaking industry, Sincere Watch Group made the strategic decision to embark on an exclusive partnership with the only atelier in the world that devotes their entire design and production exclusively to hand-made astronomical watches. Since the announcement of the collaboration, it has been a journey of innovation and creativity, with both brands sharing the common goal of elevating watchmaking to new heights. A profound connection has been established, fueled by an appreciation for the artistry that both entities bring to the world of horology. This commitment to establishing a longstanding relationship between both parties has culminated in the launch of the first SHH Edition.

Powering the CVDK Planetarium Eise Eisinga Black DLC SHH Edition is its in-house CVDK7386 caliber, which contains the smallest functional mechanical Planetarium in the world.

A magical gathering between the oldest working Planetarium in the world and the smallest mechanical Planetarium in the world. Christiaan van der Klaauw and the Royal Eise Eisinga Planetarium proudly present the CVDK Planetarium Eise Eisinga Black DLC SHH Edition, where art and science has been captured in an enchanting way within this hand-painted masterpiece. In a limited edition of only 8 stainless steel black DLC cases, this beautiful Haute Horlogerie masterpiece contains the smallest mechanical Planetarium in the world, showing the real time orbits of Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn around the sun. This masterpiece comes with a custom stainless steel sandblasted black DLC case, alongside a black alligator strap with blue stitching, and is a winner of the most prestigious watch award in the world, the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG).

The Planetarium has the Sun represented in the middle, with Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter & Saturn rotating at the rate of their planetary counterparts.

The smallest mechanical Planetarium in the world

The ultimate way to carry the universe closely to your heart, the in-house designed caliber CVDK7386 contains the smallest mechanical heliocentric planetarium in the world. It displays the real time solar orbits of Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. The timepiece also shows you the minutes, hours, date and month. The result is a magnificent spectacle that continues to fascinate in all its complex mechanical beauty.

The CVDK Planetarium Eise Eisinga Black DLC SHH Edition is astronomical watchmaking at the highest level, intricately designed and executed. The Planetarium is one of the most complicated watches in CVDK’s collection and is a fitting tribute to the grand masters of planetarium design – the likes of Nicolaas Copernicus, Johannes Kepler, Christiaan Huygens and Eise Eisinga.

Found at the 6 o’clock position, the world’s smallest mechanical Planetarium has the Sun positioned exactly in the middle of the Planetarium. The planets gracefully orbit the Sun, each with its unique rhythm: Mercury in 87.97 days, Venus in 224.70 days, Earth in 365.24 days, Mars in 686.98 days, Jupiter in 11.86 years, and Saturn in 29.46 years. The orbital dance on the planetarium paints a cosmic picture that captivates, revealing the beauty and precision of our solar system.
