Christophe Claret Jinmu Tennō Westminster Flying Tourbillon Minute Repeater (chime)

Christophe Claret pays homage to the people of Japan and their sovereign by creating an exceptional watch in the effigy of the very first Emperor, a mythical founder of the imperial dynasty of Japan : Jinmu Tennō. In Japan, he is considered a direct descendant of the famous Japanese Sun deity, Amaterasu.

« Jinmu Tennō» is a Westminster flying tourbillon minute repeater provided with a jaquemart automata featuring Jinmu Tenno himself and some of his soldiers following the mythical crow Yatagarasu, sent from heaven to guide the Emperor.

The Westminster minute repeater mechanism allows you to play a musical tune when the quarters ring. Each quarters has a different ringtone « C D E G , G D E C ; E G D C. » This ringtone, resulting from a collaboration between Christophe Claret and a virtuoso violinist, offers notes with optimal quality.
