Christiaan van der Klaauw WatchesChristiaan van der Klaauw seems to have done the impossible by giving us new ways to look at time. His creations are often literally out of this world. In a wristwatch, he bonds his customers to the broader universe. Does that sound gushy? Read on and look around.
Production of these watches is significantly limited, since Christian van der Klaauw makes each watch himself. Collectors who have seen his originals frequently note that they are some of the most striking and beautiful mechanical watches they have ever seen.
