This is astronomical watchmaking at the highest level, intricately designed and executed. Our Planetarium is one of the most complicated watches in our collection, a fitting tribute to the grand masters of planetarium design such as Nicolaas Copernicus, Johannes Kepler, Christiaan Huygens and Eise Eisinga.
