A visit to the Christophe Claret Manufacture d’HorlogeriePart 4, More Watches
The list of Christophe Claret’s customers is long. Here are just some as represented by the watches seen in final inspection today. Note that many of these watches are covered with colored protective lacquer or have protective plastic stickers on them.
Harry Winston, Tourbillon, linear automatic winding
Jorg Hysek, Tourbillon with Westminster (4 gong) Minute Repeater
Guy Ellia , minute repeater with GMT function, the hours and cities on rollers
Note the sapphire case, a tube of sapphire machined in-house.
Guy Ellia, Zephyr,
Tourbillon, sapphire plate, bridges and case all made in house at Christophe Claret.
Jorg Hysek, 3 time zones, earth ball, minute repeater
A real monster of a watch
Guy Ellia, tourbillon, movement and case in titanium and sapphire.
This watch is amasingly light, you just don’t believe it when you pick it up.
Bovet, tourbillon, minute repeater, triple time zone
De la Cour, double tourbillon with a differential averaging the rates, moon phase with shooting star every ten minutes (I didn’t wait to see it
).
I hope you have enjoyed this visit to The Christophe Claret Manufacture d’horlogerie. I would like to thank Mme. Alexandra Louvrier and Mr. Christophe Claret for their kind reception and the time spent answering all my questions.
