Christophe Claret is a specialist maker of high complication watches, particularly Tourbillons, repeaters, chronographs, splits and perpetual calendars. Claret launched his own company in 1986 and began delivering exclusive movements and watches for other high-end brands over the following years. In 1987, Ulysse Nardin became the first major client with an order for 20-minute repeater movements. Other clients have included Breguet, Cartier, Chopard, Corum, de Grisogono, Franck Muller, Girard-Perregaux, Harry Winston, and Parmigiani.
In 2003 Christophe Claret, together with Thierry Oulevay, who had previously worked at Piaget and Bovet, founded the watch manufacturer Jean Dunand.
Claret himself has been called on by other “super manufacturers”, to deliver for example the Harry Winston Opus 4 in 2004 and co-creating the Maître du Temps Chapter One tourbillon with Roger Dubuis and Peter Speake-Marin In 2008.
