Van Cleef & Arpels introduces the Planétarium automaton, a captivating creation that emulates the graceful movement of six planets orbiting the Sun. This celestial ballet unfolds with a melodic rhythm, inviting us to gaze at the wonders of the universe.
Back in 2014, Van Cleef & Arpels embarked on a remarkable journey to downsize the planetarium’s dimensions, ingeniously adapting it to fit the scale of a wristwatch. Thus, the Midnight Planétarium watch was born, a marvel of horological complexity that portrays the intricate trajectories of planets within the Solar System.
Fast forward to 2022, eight years after the initial unveiling of the Planétarium collection, Van Cleef & Arpels returns to this emblematic concept, presenting a new Extraordinary Object that further enriches their realm of Poetic Astronomy. In 2023, the Maison unveils a fresh iteration of the automaton, showcasing a mesmerizing combination of materials never before seen in this context.
