Most watches are made to be seen. The Eclipse was made to be witnessed — a quiet machine that turns the passing of light into something you can hold.
Three hundred and twelve parts, in concert
What the dark keeps
Every indication on the Eclipse earns its place. Nothing decorative. Nothing borrowed.
The Flying Tourbillon
Unanchored at the top, it appears to float — a 60-second meditation on gravity, visible through an aperture at six o'clock.
Moonphase
Accurate to a single day's drift every 122 years.
5-Day Reserve
120 hours from a single twin barrel.
Grand-Feu Enamel
Fired five times at 800°C until the black turns bottomless.
Genève Seal
Certified to the most exacting standard in watchmaking — earned, never bought.
Made in shadow, finished in light
The rose engine
The guilloché is cut on a manually-cranked lathe built in 1911 — one of three still turning in Genève.
Black polishing
Steel is rubbed against tin and diamond paste until it reflects pure black at one precise angle.
The anglage
Every internal edge is bevelled and polished by hand — surfaces no owner will ever see.
Four expressions of the dark
One calibre. Four sensibilities. Each strictly numbered.
A century in pursuit of the dark
A workshop above the Rhône
Émile Clouet opens a single bench in the old town of Genève, signing each movement with a crescent.
The first tourbillon
The Maison's apprentice-master builds a tourbillon so light it is mistaken for a flaw in the glass.
The vow of restraint
While the world turns to quartz, ÉCLAT vows to make fewer than one hundred pieces a year. By hand. Forever.
The Eclipse
Five years of work distilled into 88 pieces — the darkest, and most luminous, watch the Maison has ever made.
What the world says
The most quietly devastating watch of the decade. You do not read the time on the Eclipse — you fall into it.
ÉCLAT has done the unthinkable: made darkness feel like the most precious material on earth.
A flying tourbillon this composed, this restrained, has no business existing at any price.
Eighty-eight people will own a piece of the night sky. The rest of us will simply remember it.
