[Basel 2015] Christophe Claret - Allegro
This great watchmaker has released a new model, the Allegro.
In 45x14.11mm and 20 pieces LE.
I like his unique style and the finishing of his watches.
"Following Adagio and Soprano, Christophe Claret presents his latest
musical masterpiece, Allegro, combining the finest horological
complications: minute repeater with cathedral gongs, GMT, big date,
small seconds and day/night indicator.
These features are all found in a completely redesigned movement
featuring a unique regulator that was designed and manufactured
in-house.
The round case harmoniously blends either red gold or white gold with titanium.
An opening in the sapphire dial reveals the striking mechanism.
The transparent dial allows the wearer to marvel at the movement’s
architecture, featuring Charles X style skeletonized, stepped bridges."

I agree.

The style of this watch is far from being "standard" and some may find it too "bulky" or not at one's taste. As far as I'm concerned they look great, but however I would really have an interrogation about if I would not get tired of it on the long run. Ch...
