Christophe Claret is entertaining collectors once more with his ingenious creativity, this time offering a genuine miniature casino on the wrist with 3 games: Blackjack, Roulette and Dice.

While still displaying the time, which is a non-existing feature in casinos worldwide, the present watch incorporates seven rectangular windows showing cards randomly delivered by the “dealer”. On the back, a full roulette wheel spins, waiting for an arrow to land on a lucky number. The Dice game can be played and viewed in the aperture to the case side.

The present lot is a limited edition of 21 pieces and is numbered 5. It is furthermore offered here in excellent overall condition.
