The CVDK Venus Zodiac CKVN1104
TECHNICAL DETAILSManufacture movementUni-directional automatic winding, power reserve 60 hours, free-sprung hairspring, variable-inertia balance wheel, 36 jewels, frequency 21,600 vibrations/hour (3Hz), jeweled Swiss lever escapement, hand-finished star-shaped bridges, beveled by hand with rhodium plating, skeletonized rose gold-plated brass rotor formed in the shape of the CVDK logo, with rhodium-plated tungsten weight for optimal efficiency.
FunctionsHours, minutes, moonphase, Zodiac indication and Planetarium with Sun, Venus, Earth and Moon. The astronomical display shows the real-time positions and orbits of Venus and Earth around the Sun, as well as the position and orbit of the Moon around Earth.
ComplicationFour separate dial discs, of which three rotate and carry the celestial bodies Venus, Earth and Moon. Venus completes one orbit around the Sun in 224.7 days, while Earth completes its orbit in 365.2 days. The display also incorporates the orbit and phases of the Moon.
ZodiacThe Aventurine dial displays the twelve signs of the Zodiac and indicates the zodiac sign in which the Sun is located. The markers between the zodiac signs indicate the beginning of a new zodiac period, generally around the 21st of each month.
CaseRose gold Au750, ø 38 mm, domed sapphire crystal, sapphire crystal case-back.
DialBlue Aventurine dial representing the night sky, with Zodiac indications and an astronomical Planetarium displaying the Sun, Venus, Earth and Moon.
StrapBlue FKM strap.
BuckleRose gold folding clasp with CVDK logo.
THE MASTERPIECE
CVDK VENUS ZODIAC
The CVDK Venus Zodiac brings the movements of our celestial surroundings to life against a deep blue Aventurine night sky. At the heart of the dial, Venus, Earth and the Moon travel around the Sun, showing their real-time positions and orbits in a sophisticated mechanical Planetarium. Surrounding this astronomical display are the twelve signs of the Zodiac, indicating the zodiac sign in which the Sun is located. Housed in an elegant 38 mm rose gold Au750 case and paired with a blue FKM strap, the Venus Zodiac combines astronomical watchmaking with the characteristic celestial aesthetic of Christiaan van der Klaauw.
THE VENUS PLANETARIUM
The Venus Zodiac is equipped with the CVDK CKM-01 Manufacture Movement and the specially developed astronomical Venus module. The dial consists of four separate discs, three of which rotate and carry the celestial bodies Venus, Earth and Moon. Together they create a mechanical Planetarium showing the real-time position and orbit of Venus and Earth around the Sun, as well as the position and orbit of the Moon around Earth.
Venus completes its journey around the Sun in 224.7 days, while Earth requires 365.2 days to complete its orbit. The changing position of the Moon around Earth also provides an unusual mechanical representation of the moonphases, directly linked to the relative positions of the Sun, Earth and Moon.
THE ZODIAC
The blue Aventurine dial represents the night sky and is surrounded by the twelve signs of the Zodiac. The display indicates the zodiac sign in which the Sun is located, while the markers between the individual signs indicate the beginning of a new zodiac period, generally around the 21st of each month.
Together with the continuously moving Planetarium, the Zodiac indication connects the mechanical movement of the planets with one of the oldest ways in which mankind has observed and interpreted the night sky.

THE ROTOR
CVDK MANUFACTURE MOVEMENT
Visible through the sapphire crystal case-back, the CKM-01 Manufacture Movement offers a 60-hour power reserve and features hand-finished star-shaped bridges with rhodium plating. Its skeletonized rose gold-plated rotor, shaped as the CVDK sun logo, completes the distinctive astronomical character of the movement.
OUR UNIVERSE
The atelier produces only a limited number of watches every year. In this way, the artists of Christiaan van der Klaauw Astronomical Watches can give every watch the attention it deserves. This attention is reflected in the beauty and quality of the watch. All watches are made by hand and subjected to countless quality tests. Christiaan van der Klaauw are therefore so convinced of the quality of their products, that they give a three-year warranty on the movement and the case.
All Christiaan van der Klaauw watches are delivered in an exclusive luxurious watch box.
For the Collection of the Astronomical Masterpieces the watch box is also fitted with a Swiss Kubik winder. This winder, which can be removed from the box, will ensure that your astronomical complication stays accurate.
