All That Glitters in the Night Sky

To evoke a star-studded night sky, the dial is made from aventurine glass, which contains metallic inclusions to achieve the glittery effect. Rhodium-plated roman indexes are applied from nine to three o’clock with the brand’s sun logo marking noon. At the top of the dial is a concentric calendar display where the date and month are indicated by co-axial hands.

Miniaturization of the Cosmos

The marvelous miniature planetarium that displays the orbits of Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn around the Sun in real time. The spheres in the Planetarium Prometheus are made of stainless steel that have been hand painted with Super-LumiNova, with a green luminous sphere in the center, representing the Sun. The relative sizes of the simulated planets are proportional to their actual sizes in the solar system, and their motions are depicted in real time. The planterium module is entirely produced in-house at the brand’s workshop in Naarden in The Netherlands.

Mechanical Marvel

The Planeterium Prometheus features Christiaan van der Klaauw's proprietary movement, which has been produced, finished and assembled in-house. The hand-finished calibre features remarkable details like frosted star patterns on the bridge, adorned with raised stars, circular graining on each star and perlage finishing on the baseplate. Look closely, and you'll notice that the extended finger bridge is tipped by a star to form a stylized depiction of a shooting star. The details you discover with each repeated inspection are truly out of this world.

Space-age Lightweight

For the first time, the brand's Planterium watch is an encased in a fully polished Grade 5 titanium case measuring 40mm x 14mm. While it appears thick yet compact on paper, its unusual height-to-width ratio can hardly be felt on the wrist due to its broad, solid lugs and the lightness of titanium.
