Christiaan van der Klaauw's Ariadne  5 Comments

Published Saturday, June 14, 2008 by Harry SK Tan |

 


A Dutch expatriate engineer working here in Singapore contacted me earlier this year requesting me to shoot his Dutch watch - a Van Der Klaauw. A brand which apparently was once available here in Singapore sometime ago. This piece however was acquired by him directly from Van Der Klaauw.
The watch he showed me is the Ariadne in stainless steel. This watch is a Full Calendar also comes in rose gold as well. The movement is a relatively standard Valjoux 7751 while not a spectacular movement is nonetheless clean and well executed and exhibited. The dial is handmade by Jochen Benzinger.
VDK started with designing and building clocks in 1967 and became a member of the AHCI in 1990 but in 1992 he decided that watches were the way forward.
