Astronomical Wrist Watch with Solar System
The Midnight Planetarium (Midnight Planetarium) —An incredible creation and a true work of art by the most talented jewelers of Van Cleef & Arpels and watchmaker Christiaan van der Klaauw. This exclusive astronomical wristwatch not only tells the time, but also accurately displays the movement of the six planets of our solar system around the Sun.
Each of the six planets is represented by a gemstone.or a semi-precious stone of the corresponding color. Serpentine for Mercury, jadeite for Venus, turquoise for Earth, red jasper for Mars, blue agate for Jupiter and the rare mineral sugilite for Saturn. The solar core is made of gold.
Two other planets of the solar system were decidedexcluded from the miniature model, since the length of their orbits would make the movement of the planets on the clock imperceptible and impractical. Uranus makes a revolution around the Sun in 84 Earth years, and Neptune in 164. Not long ago, Pluto was excluded by astronomers from the list of classical planets of the Solar System and classified as a dwarf planet, so its presence on the clock was not even considered.
Unique astronomical wristwatch consists ofof 396 parts, including precious stones and metals. It took a little over three years to create them, which is why the price is astronomical - 312,000 euros. Be that as it may, you want to admire and admire for hours, contemplating the leisurely movement of the planets and the twinkling of the stars.
