 However, the entire above described Planetarium module had to be redesigned to be able to fit in the chosen theme of a skeletonized Planetarium.

The CVDK Grand Planetarium Eccentric Sincere Platinum Jubilee Edition is an exclusive timepiece created to mark Sincere Fine Watches’ 70th anniversary.

Since the partnership began in 2023, a journey focused on horological excellence has led to the creation of three exclusive SHH Editions to commemorate the grand openings of SHH boutiques — a Sincere Fine Watches’ retail concept in Malaysia, Thailand, and Taiwan. In 2024, both Sincere Fine Watches and CVDK celebrate significant anniversaries: Sincere’s Platinum Jubilee and CVDK’s Golden Jubilee. This collaboration culminated in the CVDK Grand Planetarium Eccentric Sincere Platinum Jubilee Edition, featuring a limited-edition dial crafted exclusively for Sincere and showcasing CVDK’s newly developed in-house manufacture movement.

The distinctive design elements resonated deeply, leading to the decision to honour Christiaan’s legacy by adopting it as the centrepiece of Sincere’s commemorative piece. The result is a captivating dial that artfully illustrates the orbits of all eight planets, embodying an ethereal and timeless beauty brought to life by Gaël Colon.
