The watch that will make budding astronomers dream: an astronomical masterpiece limited to 6 pieces

Revolution and Christiaan van der Klaauw (CVDK) have teamed up to create an exceptional watch: the Planetarium Prometheus. This one-of-a-kind timepiece combines fine watchmaking and astronomy, offering a true ode to our solar system on the wrist.

A dial that invites you on a cosmic journey

The Prometheus Planetarium stands out with its spectacular dial:

  • Aventurine background evoking a starry sky
  • Miniature representation of our solar system
  • The world's smallest mechanical planetarium, according to its creators
  • This planetarium is not just a decorative element: it is a real watch complication, awarded the GPHG Calendar and Astronomy Watch Prize in 2021.

    An elegant design combining tradition and innovation

    The watch dial harmoniously combines classic and modern elements:

  • White Roman numerals on the upper part
  • Iconic house logo at 12 o'clock
  • Breguet style hands
  • Radial date and month display
  • This balanced composition allows for clear reading of the information while highlighting the astronomical complication.

    A polished titanium case housing an exceptional movement

    The Prometheus Planetarium is not only visually impressive:

  • 40mm diameter polished titanium case
  • New in-house developed manufacture movement
  • Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of CVDK Astronomical Complications
  • Sapphire caseback revealing a skeleton movement with frosted stars
  • This sublime movement illustrates CVDK's watchmaking know-how and its expertise in astronomical complications.

    A rare and precious exclusivity

    The Prometheus Planetarium will be produced in an ultra-limited series:

  • Only 6 copies available
  • Price: 44,628 euros (around 48,574 dollars)
  • On sale July 23 at 1 p.m. (French time) on the Revolution online store
  • This extreme rarity immediately makes it a highly sought-after collector's item.

    A bridge between watchmaking and astronomy

    This collaboration between Revolution and CVDK perfectly illustrates the ability of watchmaking to transcend its primary function:

  • A watch that tells the story of our solar system
  • A mechanical art object celebrating the beauty of the cosmos
  • An educational tool on the wrist for astronomy enthusiasts
  • An investment for discerning collectors

    Several factors suggest a potential rapid increase in value:

  • CVDK's recognized expertise in astronomical complications
  • The extreme limitation of production to 6 pieces
  • The originality of the concept combining fine watchmaking and astronomy
  • Watch collectors and investors might therefore be particularly interested in this unique piece.

    The Planetarium Prometheus by Revolution x Christiaan van der Klaauw represents the culmination of a watchmaking quest to capture the vastness of the cosmos on the wrist. This exceptional watch transcends the simple measurement of time to offer its owner a truly contemplative experience. Combining technical prowess, refined design and extreme rarity, it perfectly embodies the spirit of innovation that drives the high-end watch industry. For the six lucky individuals who will acquire it, the Planetarium Prometheus promises to be much more than just a watch: a true portal to the stars.
