In 2011, the BlackJack was released during BaselWorld and it is one of the first interactive mechanical watch. The watch is inspired by a market "toy" which the watchmaker came across from a little box that can throw two dice using mechanical discs at the market of St Tropez, hence sparked an idea in his mind that lead to the creation of this watch.

The present watch features a pink gold and black PVD coated titanium case and three casino games: blackjack, dice and roulette. The lower part of the dial shows the player's card between the 3'o'clock and 9'o'clock markers. And the upper part of the dial shows the dealer's card. The game could be played by pressing the push piece at 9'o'clock that triggers the seven rotating system discs where the extremely detailed symbols and numbers of each card is located on. These rotating system discs can be seen in action under the black tinted dial. The 1.5mm dices are sit inside the push button at 4'o'clock. And on the case back is the full roulette, an arrow inlaid on an internal flange replaced the ball and indicate where the roulette has landed. On top of that, whenever the push piece at 8'o'clock engraved with the word "player" is pressed to indicate "hit", a smart bell ring will sound.

Offering as brand new condition, this is a rare opportunity to attain a limited timepiece made with creativity and passion towards mechanical watchmaking.
