Since 2011 and the launch of the 21 Blackjack watch, Christophe Claret’s watches have taken a playful turn. A truly miniature casino, the new Baccarat combines major complications and the world of gaming. Christophe Claret infuses its expression of transparency and perspective with the adrenalin synonymous with baccarat, roulette and dice. Housed in a cage at 4 o’clock, and visible through a side window in the caseband, two miniature dice measuring 1.5mm on the sides, offer a chance to play the oldest game of chance. On the back of the watch, the oscillating weight, visible through a sapphire crystal with anti-reflection treatment, looks like a game of roulette. Finally there is baccarat, which, by drawing cards, involves equalling or getting as close as possible to nine points. The player’s three cards appear in windows on the lower part of the dial. In the upper part of the dial, are three additional windows with the bank’s cards. Every time the shutter opens either due to the player or the bank, an alarm, whose mechanism is visible through a side window at 2 o’clock, rings. The watch, a luxury toy for big boys, is available in several versions, all in nine-piece limited editions.
