Christophe Claret has always been intrigued by the history of Aventicum, which was the capital of Roman Helvetia for more than 300 years and the ruins of which now lie near the Swiss town of Avenches. Even today at the Aventicum excavation sites, archaeologists continue to unearth precious artefacts dating from this rich era of antiquity. Among the excavated objects was a priceless finding: a solid gold bust of Emperor Marcus Aurelius, which was found in 1939.
Aventicum is inspired by a gold bust of Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius unearthed at Avenches. At the heart of this timepiece, Christophe Claret has placed a small-scale reproduction of this bust in gold.
