The Blackjack watch was born on market day in Saint Tropez! On that day, Christophe Claret saw a strange metal box. Inside, the box had a system enabling it to make two discs turn and stop them randomly. In fact, it was a box used to throw dice mechanically, and had been built at the beginning of the 20th century.

Christophe Claret's Blackjack is a real miniature casino, it matches grand complications with the world of gaming, in the process creating a new watchmaking paradigm: the interactive watch. In addition to transparency, relief, and the passage of time, here he adds the sensory effects of blackjack, roulette and dice. An unprecedented upmarket toy for aficionados, expressing a kind of watchmaking that has cast off its inhibitions.
