Another very interesting CClaret

Mechanically it is a very interesting watch.
I think the "gong" is useless here but it must still be nice to hear once a while.
Mechanically I really appreciate the work that was undertaken concerning the chrono clutch system, and of course the constant force escapement.
The only thing I would regret, but it is very subjective, is the heavy style design and I think I would get quickly tired of it.
Finally, compared to many contenders in that price range, it's a very appealing product.
Thanks Kong for this indepth report.
Cheers,
Mark

was my fav. Love the dark grey dial, white metal and red stitches on the black leather. But unlikely to buy a CC anytime soon! No budget ;) Cheers Robin

for reading, Mark. The information is from press release of Christophe Claret. I tend to agree with you... the display of the chronograph and the constant-force mechanism is interesting, but not the 'pusher-sound-feedback'. Perhaps, at minimum, the gong s...
