For information call Mauricio at 310.433-9293Christophe Claret was born in 1962 into a wealthy well-established family in Lyon. Christophe Claret's passion is born in 1976 at the workshop of a watchmaker restorer and he spends over a year disassembling and assembling horological mechanisms in order to clean and Service them. in 1978 Christophe claret is admitted to the Geneva Watchmaking School. In parallel, Christophe sets up his watchmaking workshop in Lyon. 1984 Creates his first symbolic skeletonised watches found illustrated in the first Christophe Claret brochure.--For years Christophe Claret labored in relative obscurity creating horological masterpieces sold under the names of others. To date he has devised and executed 68 unique complicated movements. In 2009, the man behind the curtain released the first timepiece widely marketed under his own name. Following the “bravos”, Claret is launching a second piece bearing his name. His encore is called Adagio.The featured watch is a Christophe Claret Adagio in Rose Gold, Automatic Movement, Gold Fixed Bezel, measuring 44mm of diameter. It Comes a Brown Dial with gold Hands Hours markers and Minutes. Minutes markers outer of the rim. it is fitted with two pushers at 2 and 4 o'clock to adjust the large Date and Dual time-zone display that comes complete with day/night indication in a subdial at 2 o’clock, as well as a slide-piece controlling the striking mechanism at 9 o'clock. Small seconds at 9 o'clock position, Large Date at 6 o'clock position. --This timepiece is equipped with Calibre SLB88, naturally created entirely in house, composed of 455 parts and measuring 34mm in diameter. Striking the hours, quarters and minutes on demand, the “cathedral gongs” of the striking mechanism are fitted with a patented device preventing them from knocking against each other when they vibrate under the hammer blows. Also patented is the large date display, which features an all-new construction. The crown is equipped with a security system: when the mainspring is fully wound, a mechanism disconnects the winding stem to avoid any potential damage due to excessive tension.It is fitted with two pushers at 2 and 4 o’clock to adjust the large date and dual time-zone displays---Functions:• Central hours and minutes, seconds at 9 o’clock in a dial or through a window
• The large date at 6 o’clock
• The time in a second time-zone with day/night indication in a subdial at 2 o’clock and strikes on demand (cathedral chime)
• Hours (low-pitched tone)
• Quarter-hours (alternating low- and high-pitched tones)
• Minutes (high-pitched tone)Transparent caseback. Brown Leather with Gold Deployment buckle. Waterproof 30mm. Limited Edition 8 pcs."The minute repeater is unique among complications because all other complications are essentially extensions of the basic visual nature of telling time. ---But in fact, the very first clocks ever made may have told the time not visually, but acoustically, by chiming the hours. ---To work its magic, the repeater mechanism has to "read" the time told by a watch, and translate that into sound. To ring the hours, quarter hours, and minutes on two gongs, a repeater functions uses an incredibly complex system of racks and levers to first determine the position of the hour and minute hands, and then cause two hammers to strike the two hardened steel circular gongs in a precise sequence. No two repeaters are alike. The tempo, tone, and volume of each are the result of laborious hand-adjustment, and so, each repeater is a unique work of art"Personal Note--The pride and joy of any serious watch collector has always been the Minute Repeater. ---Christophe Claret makes an incredible minute repeater in one of the most comfortable and best sounding cases, the Adagio. -- Not Only this beauty is a Minute Repeater, but is also a Cathedral Sound and has a Second Time Zone with Day/Night indicator as well as a Big Date.--I personally love the pure and simple design of the watch and the beautiful color combination of the Rose Gold with the Brown dial and Matching Brown Alligator Strap with Rose Gold Stitching. -- I SPECIALLY LOVE the exhibition caseback which proudly displays the sophisticated movement with the exposed Striking Hammers. The watch comes as well as a 18K Rose Gold Deployment Buckle. 18K Rose Gold Butterfly Deployment Buckle......Awesome Brown Croco Strap with contrast Stitching to match the Rose Gold Case Calibre SLB88, naturally created entirely in house, composed of 455 parts and measuring 34mm in diameter.Exhibition caseback which proudly displays the sophisticated movement with the exposed Striking Hammers.
