Espoir & Paix

Christophe Claret pays tribute to hope and peace with the unique Espoir & Paix model created for Only Watch's charity auction taking place in Geneva on 7 November 2015. The mirascope found on the center of the emerald-set dial, a gem symbolizing hope, forms an image of the emerald that nearly doubles its apparent size.

The hour and minute hands were designed around the mirascope, placed inside the bezel to indicate time in an innovative way.

On the caseback, a portrait of Alfred Nobel is engraved on a black anodized aluminum oscillating weight, which is surrounded by engraved names of all 129 nobel peace prize recipients. The caliber AVE15 self-winding movement contains 186 parts, with twin barrels providing 72-hours of power reserve. The white gold and anthracite gray PVD titanium case measures 44 mm in diameter. All funds resulting from its sale will benefit research for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
