Christophe Claret himself was born in Lyon in 1962. At a young age, Christophe Claret discovered a passion for the mechanics of time. His passion was born in 1976 at the workshop of a watchmaker restorer and he spends over a year disassembling and assembling horological mechanisms in order to clean and service them. He entered the Geneva Watchmaking School in 1978. After graduating he continued his training at the Roger Dubuis watchmaker-jeweller to subsequently set up his first watchmaking workshop at a family-run establishment in Lyon specialising in restoration. 1987 was a year of revelation after meeting Rolf Schnyder, owner of the Ulysse Nardin brand, who placed an order for 20 San Marco minute-repeater calibres with jacks. His passion and drive was born, and two years later he established Claret Manufacture. In just a decade, his name became a benchmark in the field of complication movements, with his customer base growing. Christophe Claret then decided to give his company fresh impetus and in 1999 he purchased the Soleil d’Or mansion in Le Locle. For years Christophe Claret labored in relative obscurity creating horological masterpieces sold under the names of others. From 2002 to 2008, Claret Manufacture pursued its expansion, today employing approximately a hundred employees in about thirty different professions. Also working on behalf of third parties, including his own private clients, Christophe Claret produced watches in his own name, often unique pieces for collectors. Initially a sideline business, it came into its own in 2009. To date he has devised and executed 68 unique complicated movements. In celebration of 20 years of watchmaking, Christophe Claret designed the DualTow, a mechanical concentration of his watchmaking skill which heralded the grand complications of the future. Today the Christophe Claret independent brand belongs to the circle of Fine Watchmakers as a fully integrated manufacturer”....

However, the watch is extremely intricate and innovative and since it resurrects one of the traditional horological solutions. This wristwatch is made with a detent escapement instead of the ubiquitously used lever escapement. To improve and proved the most precision movement, Christophe Claret took on the challenge to over come deficient performance in marine chronometers that enabled navigation. He came up with three patents and a handful of innovative systems in order to secure reliable functioning. The Christophe Claret Maestoso is fitted with a generous Red Gold and anthracite PVD-treated grade 5 titanium case. The round case features a very nice satin-brushed finish and alternating high-polished that contrast perfectly against the openworked dial with black rhodium-plated nickel silver flange, shiny lacquer and black PVD-treated hands with white superluminova tips. The watch is fitted with a supple handmade black alligator strap. The completely in-house new hand-wound caliber DTC07 with distinctively shaped Charlex X type stepped bridges can likewise proud itself with constant force.

"Traditional pivoted detent escapement with constant force. Art in the service of time. Majestic and imposing!". ...Enabling the mechanism to operate in all the positions that wearing a wristwatch entails —without resorting to the convenience of a modern, shorter detent— is a genuine gamble, adding additional innovative systems... To prevent the detent from turning over, an anti-pivot cam, integral to the spring balance, works in conjunction with the safety finger. To cope with the risks of over-banking, a flexible thrust bearing fitted on the wheel and connected to the balance absorbs any excess energy. Christophe Claret has also endowed the watch with a constant force at 4 o'clock, guaranteeing stable energy and amplitude throughout the power reserve... Constant Force. Concerning technical aspect of the watch. One of its most notable characteristics is that it has constant force which allows better transfer of energy regardless of the condition of the power reserve. Another uncommon thing is that the caliber utilizes a cylindrically shaped balance spring instead of the usual flat one.
