Christophe Claret

Christophe Claret, born in Lyon in 1962, set up his movement workshop in Le Locle in 1989 and spent twenty years making minute repeaters, tourbillons and other complications for well-known brands. In 2009 he launched watches under his own name, beginning with the Dualtow.

His watches often add mechanical play to high complication: the 21 Blackjack, Baccara and Poker include working casino games, the Margot plays "he loves me, he loves me not", and the X-TREM-1 shows the time with steel balls moved by magnets. The catalog also lists the Adagio, Allegro, Kantharos chronograph, Maestoso, Maestro and Soprano minute repeater, in gold, platinum and titanium.

Each model is made in small numbers, so dealers check the case number against the limited series, and that the games and chiming work fully.
