Collection of the Stars - CKAR3853

CVDKAriadne Ice Blue

The CVDK Ariadne Ice Blue combines a full chronograph, calendar indications and a Super-LumiNova moon phase within a refined 40 mm design. This version is distinguished by its light ice blue dial, matching tone-on-tone counter rings and a double-row diamond bezel, paired with a light blue alligator leather strap.

Ariadne inice blue

The Ariadne brings together a broad range of mechanical indications within a compact and balanced case. Chronograph counters, calendar functions, a 24-hour indication and moon phase are arranged clearly across the dial, while the ice blue colourway gives this version a fresh and distinctive character.

What sets this Ariadne apart is the combination of tone-on-tone dial detailing and the double-row diamond bezel. The smaller counter rings and outer ring are executed in matching ice blue tones, creating a harmonious composition, while the diamonds add a more jewellery-like expression to the watch.

Chronograph & Moon Phase

The Ariadne combines a full chronograph with calendar and astronomical indications. Elapsed time is measured through seconds, a 30-minute counter and a 12-hour counter, accompanied by day, date, month and a 24-hour indication.

At 6 o’clock, the moon phase shows the progression of the lunar cycle. When the Moon appears to the left of centre, it is in its first quarter; at the centre, it is full Moon; and to the right, it is in its last quarter. When the Moon disappears, the window reveals a starry sky and indicates new Moon.

The Ariadne after dark

Super-LumiNova gives the Ariadne’s moon phase a second expression in low light. The indication at 6 o’clock remains visible after dark, allowing the position of the Moon within its cycle to be read clearly.

On the Ice Blue version, the luminous effect forms a distinct contrast with the soft, cool dial tones, adding another visual layer to a watch defined by its refined palette and more jewellery-inspired bezel.
