Only Watch 2015 - Christophe Claret
The Espoir & Paix watch pays tribute to hope and peace.

This one-of-a-king creation comes in a white gold and anthracite gray grade 5 PVD titanium case measuring 44mm in diameter. It houses the self-winding Caliber AVE15, with twin barrels and a 72-hour power reserve. This calibre was developped for the Aventicum timepiece, unveiled early this year.

An emerald set in the dial center is highlighted by a mirascope 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 design and production of the hours and minutes hand have been entirely rethought and placed on the inner bezel ring, shaped like bells and made from anticorodal aluminum to make them lighter.

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. The two rows of names furthest from the center remain in a fixed position, while the rows closest to the center turn in step with the oscillating weight.

A black alligator leather strap, with black stitching, completes the watch.
