Van Cleef & Arpels Planetarium Automaton - a ballet of planets

3 April 2023

Distinguished by its impressive dimensions at a height of 50cm and 66.5cm in diameter, the Van Cleef & Arpels Planétarium automaton presents the Sun and many of the planets of its system visible from the Earth: Mercury, Venus, the Earth – accompanied by its satellite, the Moon –, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.

Thanks to a mechanical movement of great complexity, each heavenly body moves at its genuine speed of rotation, carrying out a complete orbit in 88 days for Mercury, 224 days for Venus, 365 days for the Earth, 687 days for Mars, 11.86 years for Jupiter, and 29.5 years for Saturn.

As it does on the collection’s feminine creations, the Moon circles the Earth in 27.3 days, animating the object with perceptible movement day after day.

This decorative object is fitted with a planétarium module, along with an on-demand animation allowing the dance of the orbs to be replayed at will, developed specifically for Van Cleef & Arpels in collaboration with the CompliTime team.
