Today’s Haute Time Watch of the Day is the Soprano by Christophe Claret. This impressive timepiece features a 60-second tourbillon and a minute repeater with Westminster chime along with four cathedral gongs and visible hammers creating wonderful sounds on each chime.

The mechanical hand-wound movement features a 72 hour power reserve and is comprised of 450 parts and 39 jewels. The Soprano features hours and minutes functions visible on a skeletonized dial. The ruby red hands accent the dial as well as mark the hours and minutes adding a unique look to the Soprano. The white gold and anthracite PVD titanium case measures 45mm and is water resistant to 3 ATM or 100 ft. The Soprano shown here is on a black hand-sewn alligator strap with red stitching and a white gold and titanium buckle.

Limited to only 8 pieces, the Soprano by Christophe Claret is a limited edition timepiece representing the watchmaking skills of the Manufacture Claret.
