Only Watch 2015: Christophe Claret Espoir & Paix

The mirascope found on the center of the emerald-set dial, a gem symbolizing hope, forms an image of the emerald that nearly doubles its apparent size.  The hour and minute hands were designed around the mirascope, placed inside the bezel to indicate time in an innovative way.
