The main philosophy of creating of Baccara watch was the wish of the company: "Let’s fortune accompanies you."
The mechanism of this model is equipped with a bright eye-catching design worthy of an exclusive mechanism for the development of which lasted more than a year.
The Baccara watch is a real casino in miniature, with three games: baccarat, roulette, dices. The originality of the composition, created on the dial, is completed with audio and visual effects.
The inspiration to create the Baccara watch became the world of gambling. As Christophe Claret himself notes, he never gambles, but likes to observe the behavior of players in the casino.

Thus, the "small casino" on the dial is not just a representation of a play or a kind of engraving. Games shown on the dial - this is the original watch complications, which are supplemented by, among other things, audio and visual objects.
Thus, on the dial are appearing the cards to play baccarat: incredibly complex technical execution of the mechanism will allow you to play with the watch for almost authentic match of this famous card game.
In addition to baccarat, you can play dice: two tiny cubes, a face only of a 1.5 mm are placed in the cell at the 4 o’clock position and can be seen through the sidewall of the case.
And finally, Roulette, the role of a wheel acts the rotor of self-winding, visible from the case back of the case. The winning number is indicated by the hand.
His Lucky number each client can choose himself, denoting it with the intended for that emerald, inlaid in the back of the case.

However, these symbols of the original chronometer are not exhausted. The last part is surrounded by an aura of mystery and not visible to the naked eye. Under sapphire glass there is the Chinese character for luck, which is visible for a few seconds, if you blow on the watch.
Invisible character is obtained by the masters of the company through the metallization process of the sapphire glass, which was developed specifically for this model.
The idea of character, which will bring players fortune, came to Christophe during his trip to Macau. "Magic" character is a reflection of extreme superstition of most players.
