Legendary horological master Christophe Claret has long been a quiet but immensely respected force in haute horlogerie–known for his incredible tourbillons, minute repeaters, and automata work, he has supplied brilliant technical solutions to a number of the world’s finest watch brands (including Girard-Perregaux, Ulysse Nardin, Corum, and others).? Christophe Claret was also the star watchmaker that Harry Winston Rare Timepieces chose to collaborate with on “No.4″ of their spectacular Opus watch series. Claret even has his own ultra-exclusive haute horlogerie brand–Jean Dunand–which he co-created with Thierry Oulevay.
With that as a brief introduction, some of the master’s most amazing realizations are tourbillon movements executed with transparent sapphire bridges.? Two companies who have collaborated with Monsieur Claret to produce incredible tourbillons of this type, are Ulysse Nardin and Corum.
The Ulysse Nardin Royal Blue Tourbillon watch brings Ulysse Nardin’s characteristic color–blue–to the forefront, with sapphire bridges of the same hue.? The use of various saturations of synthetic sapphire, allow this blue theme to emphasize and magnify the beauty of the gear train and the flying tourbillon.? A sparkling diamond and sapphire dial flange (rehaut) sets off this spectacular execution perfectly.
Equally magnificent, the Corum Billionaire Tourbillon also employs a sapphire bridge movement to create an incredible visual effect.? As its name implies, this Corum watch is wildly opulent, being an incredible achievement of fine jewelry as well as watchmaking. This extremely exclusive watch series radiates incredible splendor with an extensive setting of diamonds, or combination of diamonds and sapphires.

You hear a lot about watch complications these days. Most of the stories are based around the overly complex mechanisms that watchmakers sit at their benches, toiling for weeks, months and years to develop, costing tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars which serve no functional purpose and can rarely be explained by the watch owner. Then you have the Girard Perregaux WWTC, likely the most functional and practical watch on the market today for today’s business traveler. As someone who travels a lot and regularly calls different timezones, the Girard Perregaux WWTC actually provides functionality that most others don’t. That is, all of the timezones permanently and legibly represented on the dial. Seems rather intuitive right? Wrong! So many other “world time” watches have the current time and a quickset of 24 cities/regions displaying the other zones one at a time (meaning a max of 2 on the dial). The WWTC features all of the timezones on an inner rotating bezel and comes in model variations with a power reserve, chronograph, perpetual calendar or stock market hours featuring different markets around the world, called “The Financial.” Thanks GP, a world time watch that finally makes sense.
Choosing a favorite among Glashutte Original’s Pano watch collection is a daunting task.? Sharing as they do the beautiful in-house Glashutte?movements with finely engraved duplex Swan neck fine adjustments, gold jewel settings,?and other sumptuous delights, along with styling that manages to find a near-ideal balance between classicism and the contemporary, each brings something superb to the table.? However, its hard to argue with the wonderful utility provided by the Panomatic Venue.
