A compendium of the skills cultivated by the Manufacture Christophe Claret – a famous movement-maker under the same name – this minute repeater, large date and GMT model also heralds further surprises to be unveiled at Baselworld 2011!

An exceptional demonstration of the know-how of the Christophe Claret movement manufacturer, the DualTow watch released in 2009 set the crowning touch to twenty years of passion and innovation in the service of the most prestigious brands. Created as an anniversary model – in a range of 68 different and thus unique models – this single-pusher planetary-gear chronograph with striking mechanism and tourbillon was to experience a swift change of destiny.

By revealing his watchmaking talents to the public at large, Christophe Claret was unexpectedly propelled to the centre of the watch industry stage. Hailed by collectors and connoisseurs the world over who recognised his distinctive “signature”, this model generated a desire for more, which is the driving force behind any new creations. “Some of them already owned watches equipped with a Claret movement without realising it”, explains the watchmaker. “The DualTow enabled them to discover my work.”
