Interview With Watch Maker Christophe Claret
Christophe Claret �C who has been producing some of the most complex watch movements for 20 years, for both himself and others �C has long absorbed influences and embraced the march of technology to produce some of the most elaborate and boundary-pushing movements around.His state-of-the-art atelier in Switzerland is so geared up to make the most of technological advances that as well as producing watches, it also manufactures innovative tools.Since beginning to produce watches under his own name, he has continued to push boundaries with creations that allow the owner to play baccarat and black jack, or that merge movements with their traditional enemy - magnets - to tell the time with floating ball-bearings.After all, in his own words: A creator must be receptive to all sorts of things, whether something in nature, or in all kinds of objects �C machine tools, automotive, aerospace, science. And although he made his name in horology circles for his work with others, his own-name creation

Corum Admiral's Cup Watch Line Gets The Black Flag And Black Hull For Piratey Good Times
I've always been a fan of the Corum Admiral's Cup lines of watch, the more modern versions that is. The watch is meant to celebrate the Admiral's Cup yacht race, that you've only heard about if you are known in some circles as "admiral," or are currently wearing deck shoes. The trademark of the watches are the flags that have been used as hour indicators. Oh, and the chronograph seconds hand that was apparently fashioned from a cocktail drink stirrer. Which of course goes with boating.What is really great about the Admiral's Cup watches is the angular cases, large size, and large hands. It is a fine looking watch with nice components. Functions have varied widely from tide graphs to calendars, small seconds, and of course a chronograph. Not sure if they have a regatta timer though, they should.Banking on the success of the design, Corum keeps releasing variations, the most recent of which are pretty large. The Blag Flag and Black Hull share the 48mm wide case that does serious justice
