CHRISTOPHE CLARET X-TREM-1

Christophe Claret’s X-trem-1 continues on the brand’s legacy of avante garde creations, with the display of hours and minutes driven by a magnetic fields based system. Indeed, the watch has actually been successful in introducing a magnetic field – a frequently feared archenemy of mechanical horology – and incorporating it in the very heart of the watch. This bold concept is executed with a system where two hollow small steel spheres are controlled by the magnetic fields of two miniature magnets moved by cables. These special cables are incredibly flexible and made from hundreds of Dyneema nanofibers. The spheres have no mechanical connection with the movement, and to the magical quality of this incredible piece of horological innovation, in keeping with the brand’s resolute dedication to technological innovation.
