Accompanied by a de Grisogono warranty, instruction manual, setting pin and presentation box. In 2005, Christophe Claret manufactured this daring masterpiece exclusively for De Grisogono. Inspired by the reflex camera's diaphragm, Occhio Ripetizione Minuti is equipped with a exceptional mechanism. Triggered by the minute repeater, the diaphragm formed by twelve mobile black titanium blades opens and reveals the beauty of the movement for the duration of the chimes. This masterpiece also features a sharply curved sapphire crystal as the camera lens and displays the play of racks, levers and springs when the diaphragm is opened.
