Christophe Claret Espoir & Paix Only Watch 2015 Unique Piece
Christophe Claret is once again supporting the Only Watch charity auction by presenting a one-of-a-kind model entitled Espoir & Paix. With this timepiece, Christophe Claret pays tribute to Hope (espoir) on the dial and to Peace (paix) on the caseback.
An emerald set in the dial center is highlighted by a mirascope, a device featured for the first time in the Aventicum watch, based on the same principle as a hologram and creating an almost twice-enlarged image of the emerald with its green color symbolizing hope. This optical effect gives the impression that the precious stone is literally bursting out of the watch.
The center of the oscillating weight appearing through the back of the watch is graced with a portrait of Alfred Nobel with a green agate rim revealing the movement.
It also bears the name of the 129 laureates who have received the Nobel Peace Prize since its creation, listed clockwise in chronological order with the most recent appearing at 6 o’clock.
