CClaret still not doing things as other do...
I really like what he creates. The Soprano seems fantastic and is quite refreshing when we are used to seeing these numerous classical shapes watches nowadays.
On this new Kantharos, I really like this impressive constant force escapement.
The fact that it is a chrono is quite unusual too
But I have a little difficulty in accepting the Gong display here.
Such complication is rare and thus it remains quite affordable here, but it seems to be the minimum we could excpect from integrating a gong in a watch. And I would say that maybe I would have prefered not having any. It feels "cheap" in a way it just sounds when you activate the chrono.
Anyway, even if I don't know if I would get tired of the overall strong style, it is a very interesting offer in the complicated watches available today at that price range.
Thanks for the report Don,
Cheers,
Mark
