If you are the absent-minded type, often forgetting things you are supposed to do, or perhaps tying a string around your finger to remind you of something, then the new Christophe Claret Maestro watch is for you. Being officially unveiled to the world next week in Geneva at the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie, SIHH, the new watch -- with a reminder function called Memo built in -- is an anomaly for this independent brand in many ways. To begin with, it is the entry-level price range for a Christophe Claret watch. Don't let that fool you, though, it still carries an approximate $70,000 price tag.
For Claret, who is the master of chiming watches and ultra-complications, a $70,000 complex watch is a milestone for him. Additionally, the new timepiece took about a third of the time to develop. Whereas Claret usually spends years from concept to development of his masterworks of horology, this one took just eight months. In fact, part of the challenge of the creation of this caliber was the fact that Claret wanted it ready by the SIHH show -- even though he only conceived of it in March 2016 at Baselworld. Physical work on the caliber began in May 2016. The other challenge, Claret says, was keeping the price to less than $100,000.
The bold, three-dimensional watch is being offered in two versions, gold and titanium, and features a glass dome that enables viewing of the movement architecture from the dial side. Its main features include a conical shaped large date display working off of two cylindrical disks, and the aforementioned cone-shaped Memo function.
The Memo function of this hand-wound, skeletonized movement is a reminder feature. It does not make noise like an alarm and it does not vibrate like a smart watch. Instead, a small diamond acts as a visual reminder to the wearer that he (or she) has something important to do. The diamond set on the side of the small cone at 4:00 on the dial. Thew we are can set the diamond to a certain time via a pusher at 4:00 and then can reset the gemstone via the same pusher. Voila, no more need for a string around the finger
