Information about the Christophe Claret "Hai Ba Trung" watch.
In addition, the company also said that the painting of Hai Ba Trung used in the watch is the work of famous Swiss artist André Martinez. Inside the watch is a flying-tourbillon mechanism, with a minute repeater feature (chimes every quarter of an hour) whose chime is simulated from the bell of Westminster Tower.
A classy watch with the design of Hai Ba Trung - heroines in Vietnamese history, making a strong impression.
Notably, the image of Hai Ba Trung riding an elephant used in the clock does not just stand still, but the four positions on the painting will move to the beat of the minute repeater through the jaquemart automata mechanism - according to Christophe Claret.
Although Christophe Claret has not officially announced the price of this watch model. However, based on the price of manufacturing materials compared to models in the same collection, the estimated price of the design model is from 714,000 - 747,000 USD (more than 15 billion VND).
In the years 40-43, two Vietnamese sisters, Trung Trac and Trung Nhi, rose up in revolt against foreign invaders, awakening the spirit of independence.
According to Dai Viet Su Ky Toan Thu , Trung Vuong reigned for 3 years. The king was very brave, defeated To Dinh, built the country and proclaimed himself king. Historian Le Van Huu commented: Trung Trac and Trung Nhi were women, they shouted once and the districts of Cuu Chan, Nhat Nam, Hop Pho and 65 cities in Linh Ngoai all responded, building the country and proclaiming themselves king was as easy as turning one's hand, enough to know that the terrain of our Vietnam could build a hegemonic career...
