The "La Mystérieuse" Tourbillon Wristwatch was made in very limited examples, mostly cased in yellow gold and few cased in platinum. The highly unusual movement combining the invisible "Mystery" winding mechanism, sapphire crystal bridges and plates and a tourbillon regulator was manufactured for Corum by Christophe Claret.
Master watch craftsman Christophe Claret was born in 1962 and lived in Lyon as a child. He enjoyed dismantling and inspecting watch movements until he was old enough to be admitted to Ecole d'Horlogerie in Geneva where he furthered his studies.
Training with specialists in complications such as Roger Dubuis, as well as taking corporate management classes, Claret also began studying again at Chambre des Metiers in Lyon for a two-year training cycle.
He transitioned from restoration into developing movements, and continued to build on personal research. At the same time he partnered with two watchmakers, Giulio Papi and Dominique Renaud and founded a new company which he named RPC, standing for Renaud Papi Claret.
In 1991 he eventually launched his own brand. For the past 22 years, Claret has been creating innovative and highly complex movements that are used by various major watch brands.
