Magicafiore for Only Watch 2017 - Christophe Claret
Christophe Claret pays tribute to love and passion.

At the heart of this unique piece - specially created for Only Watch - a 3D depiction of the cherry blossom revisited by Christophe Claret gives pride of place to artistic crafts. The blue enameled center of the flower features a pistil topped with a bleu sapphire and stamens represented by 28 eralds.

On this Magicafiore it's two hand-graved dragonflies that indicate the time. One press on the pusher at 2 o’clock makes the numbers disappear to reveal the phrase specially created for Only Watch: “Pour l’amour de la vie” (For the love of life).

The white gold case is adorned with 59 blue sapphires and 15 marquise-cut emeralds symbolizing the leaves of the cherry tree. 

The sapphire caseback provides an opportunity to admire the movement’s oscillating weight, set with 4 emeralds and 4 blue sapphires. At will, the owner can indulge in the “He loves me… he loves me not” game, the simplified English version of daisy petals.
