Marguerite by Christophe Claret celebrates romance with time

  • November 11, 2018
  • 2 minute read

In the rhythmic world of Marguerite, the feminine is dominant, and romance is atmospheric. A darker female butterfly is perched on a daisy petal that rotates every hour while a lighter male sits lightly atop a stem and flutters his way around the white mother-of-pearl dial in tune with the passing of the minutes. The romantic illusion does not end there. On pressing the pusher at 2 o’clock, the Arabic numerals on the dial disappear to reveal a hidden personalised message.

The watch can display any message requested by the owner, in the desired language, with a limited number of characters.

The secret of this hidden message lies in Marguerite’s 36.90 mm dial which has two layers. A metallised transparent sapphire upper disc bearing a mosaic of transparent squares rotates over the fixed mother-of-pearl lower disc overlaid with another pad-printed varnished mosaic incorporating the text and the numerals. Releasing the pusher makes the hour display disappear and the message to appear instantly.

Christophe Claret Marguerite with a message

The Marguerite jewellery watch is currently available in two versions. One is in 5N red gold set with 98 champagne-toned diamonds (0.86 carat). The bezel is set with 73 diamonds, the lug at 6 o’clock set with 17 diamonds, and the lug at 12 o’clock set with eight diamonds. The Daisy pistil is crowned with a natural purple amethyst and is surrounded by twelve petals in 4N pink gold, lacquered in graded shades ranging from 5N red gold to matt white. The strap is an Aubergine-colored alligator.

The second is an even precious version set with 5N red gold and snow-set with 315 diamonds (1.82 carats). The bezel set features 261 diamonds, the lug at 6 o’clock has 21 diamonds, and the lug at 12 o’clock has 33 diamonds. The daisy pistil is crowned with a ruby and is surrounded by twelve petals in 4N pink gold, set with 143 diamonds. The strap is a Red alligator.

On the back of both versions is a playful “He loves me… he loves me not” game; the feminine distraction invented in the Middle Ages. To play, the watch must be placed in a horizontal position and accompanied by one or two undulating movements. The oscillating weight then turns for a few seconds before standing still. The stone closest to the red-lacquered heart indicates the answer – an emerald with the indication “yes” or a ruby with the indication “no” in the centre. Both versions are limited to 30 pieces worldwide.
