The Christiaan van der Klaauw Ariadne, also known as the CVDK Ariadne, comprises three new steel models. These are the first watches released by the Dutch marque since Master watchmaker Pim Koeslag assumed stewardship of the firm. Formerly of Frederique Constant, Koeslag perpetuates the brand’s fondness for astronomical watches, but now embraces a sportier, more contemporary design language. These new timepieces include some glorious touches including a Benzinger-engraved rotor. Mark McArthur-Christie examines the specification of these new models and shares his thoughts in his own humorous way.
