Musical Watch Christophe Claret went under the hammer

Last weekend at the auction house Antiquorum Hong Kong were sold extremely rare and unusual hours - Christophe Claret Music Box No. 8. Externally, the creation of Christophe Claret is strongly reminiscent of the traditional style of Breguet, but the most interesting of these hours inside. The body of 18-carat pink gold hidden miniature music box. This watch is able to play two tunes, and this is unique. One - "Imperial Waltz" by Johann Strauss, the second - "Two little shoe" Charlie Chaplin (the great director was no stranger to writing). You can set the clock so that the music was played each hour, and you can listen to it at any time. Since musical drum rotation requires considerable energy, chronometer has two separate springs. One moving direction, and the other is designed to rotate the drum. As a result, the process of winding the watch somewhat more complicated: you need to turn the two spring start. Christophe Claret Music Box No. 8 have been sold at auction for 740,000 Hong Kong dollars ($ 95,000).
