Since 1998, when it was created by CHAUMET, the Class One has achieved the status of the ultimate Sport Chic watch, as the first jewellery diving timepiece. This year, CHAUMET creates the high jewellery version of the Class One model equipped with the classical tourbillon mechanism.
The Class One, endowed with a tourbillon escapement mechanism, considered to be the most ingenious of watchmaking complications, is adorned with a breath-taking array of precious stones. Each watch is embellished with an exceptional selection of 558 stones representing a total weight of over 25 carats. There are two unique pieces; diamond and blue sapphire or diamond and ruby and two limited editions of four pieces each in white diamonds and black diamonds.
Each version presents an XL size 42 mm case in white gold which is entirely set with calibre baguette-cut stones from the bezel to the side of the case, including the horns and crown. The dial, set with invisible-setting baguette-cut diamonds, features a tourbillon cage enhanced with a baguette contour at 11 o’clock.
On the reverse, the sapphire glass on the case-back reveals the automatic mechanism CP12V-X Zénith for Chaumet with an oscillating weight that is engraved with the Class One motif and set with a row of stones that match those on the bezel. These models are presented on an integrated alligator strap with a white gold folding buckle paved with baguette-cut diamonds and precious stones.
