A Watch That Lets You Play Actual Casino Games<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Master watchmaker Christophe Claret has designed a range of beautiful gaming watches that allow you to play games on the go – the ultimate accessory for any Vegas fan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nMr Claret\u2019s watches are truly pieces of art so it’s no wonder they’re renowned for \u201crarity and extreme innovation\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As he points out to us: \u201cWe remain one of the last watch brands where watches bear the name of the creator, still alive.\u201d Perhaps it is this that makes his watches so unique. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, where did the idea come from? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr Claret tells us: \u201cOn a Saturday morning, during a walk at the flea market place des lices in St Tropez, I came across an object from the 20s. I was particularly interested in this little wheel that we could play dice with.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
His curiosity led him to create a range of watches that captured the essence of what he found and felt that day at the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In his aptly named \u2018Complications Watches\u2019 collection, he brings you the finest in complexity, with each watch created from a blank sheet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe had to create everything, draw each of the components. It is not like other watches where we can start from existing components,\u201d explains Mr Claret. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They are extremely complicated to make and, like all Claret watches, totally customizable – each piece is totally unique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We talk to you a lot about playing on-the-go on your phone, but what about on your watch? With these stunning pieces of craftsmanship you can do just that – and look incredibly stylish too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s check out the three models available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Poker Watch<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThis is the most recent addition to the collection and the most popular.\nIt allows you to play a three-player game of Texas Hold\u2019em whenever you want. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mind. Blown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nWith all the possible combinations in a deck of cards, for three players that\u2019s a staggering total of 98,304. And each player is given an equal probability of winning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some powerful engineering went into this! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like all of Mr Claret\u2019s chiming watches, this one features that signature gong when you hit the turn\/river or flop buttons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Baccara Watch<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThis watch has three in one: baccarat, roulette, and dice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nWith the banker\u2019s cards positioned at 12 o\u2019clock and yours (the player\u2019s) at 6 o\u2019clock, there are three buttons around the face to shuffle and distribute the cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whenever the shutter opens, expect an appearance from the gong ringing out where two o\u2019clock sits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can play craps using the tiny dice stored behind glass beside the\nfour o\u2019clock position. It\u2019s just amazing that a handcrafted watch has the\nmechanics to do this!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For roulette, simply flip the watch over and you\u2019ll find it behind an anti-glare sapphire crystal glass. The roulette table also doubles as the winding rotor and an arrow will point to the winning number. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For personalization, have your lucky number marked by an emerald set in the glass case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our favorite feature is the hidden lucky Chinese ideogram that appears for a few seconds when you breathe on it. Just like magic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe Blackjack Watch<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe first of the gaming watches to be designed and, according to My Claret, the trickiest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The randomness of the game had to be achieved along with all the other logistics – quite tricky to get all that into one small watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nLike the Baccara watch, this offers a game of craps with dice measuring 1.5mm found behind a sapphire crystal glass. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Plus, the roulette table on the flipside spins into action with a couple of wrist movements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For Blackjack, the player\u2019s four cards lie between 3 o\u2019clock and 9 o\u2019clock on the lower part of the dial. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Two of these are visible whilst the other two are hidden by shutters. Whenever these shutters open a gong noise accompanies the movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The dealer\u2019s cards are on the top half, and only one out of those three\ncards is visible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We don\u2019t know about you but we are dying to get our hands on one of these. Whilst these watches appeal more to watch collectors and connoisseurs who appreciate their extreme complexity, we still reckon they\u2019d look incredible on the wrist of a high roller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
