Christiaan Van Der Klaauw Ariadne Steel
Christiaan van der Klaauw announces the first watches to leave the atelier under the leadership of Master Watchmaker, Technical Director and co-owner Pim Koeslag. Celebrating this special occasion, the brand is releasing three new steel versions of the well-known CVDK Ariadne model.
The CVDK Ariadne watch features full calendar chronograph with 24-hour indication and a visually enchanting moon phase indication.
The new steel models come with a frosted silver-coloured, navy-blue or anthracite dial, and circular brushed rings around the sub dials.
What makes these models especially unique is the hand-engraving of the ‘claw’ of the rose gold-plated rotor, which was done by famous engraver Jochen Benzinger. This sublime rotor, with its outer guilloche décor on rhodium plated steel can be admired through the sapphire case back.
This beautiful watch is driven by the CVDK7758 chronograph caliber with Ariadne complication. The chronograph indicates the elapsed seconds, minutes and hours. In addition, the watch has a full calendar (day, date, and month), a moon phase indication at 6 hours and the indication of time on a 24-hour scale. The position of the Moon can be read at the 6 o’clock position.
The new 40mm CVDK Ariadne Steel watch comes with a high-quality alligator leather strap. The signature folding clasp features an engraved Christiaan van der Klaauw ‘Sun with 12 Claws’ logo.
