Just imagine the world’s most exclusive atelier with watchmaking’s finest artisans working in concert to create unparalleled horological alchemy. Launched this year during the week of the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie in Geneva, Switzerland, Maîtres du Temps is a new luxury watch brand that is unique in its kind. Based on the concept of bringing independent master watchmakers together in a collaborative effort, Maîtres du Temps launched its first luxury watch ‘Chapter One’ last April. Created by master watchmakers Christophe Claret, Peter Speake-Marin and Roger Dubuis, Chapter One is a world first combination of complications comprising a tourbillion, mono-pusher chronograph, retrograde date, retrograde GMT and two idiosyncratic rolling bars, indicating the day of the week and phase of the moon. The laser-pierced moon and stars on the outer roller of the moon phase indication add to its stellar elegance. Available in a limited series of four different versions, Chapter One has been introduced to the market for a suggested retail price of $400,000, firmly positioning itself among the highest ranks of high horology.
