CHRISTOPHE CLARET

FLUTTERING BY
Christophe Claret’ s Marguerite offers two graceful butterflies that flit around a daisy on this 42.5mm watch whose white lacquered petals overlap like a real flower. Christophe Claret invites two butterflies in blue, orange or red Super-LumiNova, depending on the version, to tell time. The darker one, symbolizing the female, is perched on a daisy petal that rotates every hour. Meanwhile, the lighter one, embodying the male, indicates the minutes. Sitting lightly atop a stem attached to the precious pistil made of rubies or blue sapphires, it literally flutters around the white mother-of-pearl dial. One press on the pusher at 2 o’ clock makes the numbers disappear to reveal the phrase:“ Il m’ aime passionnément”( He loves me passionately). Price: $ 72,700.
