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.

Safari on bracelet picture request
Hi guys. I recently joined the forum and let me first of all say what a great place this is!I have been a long time admirer of Audemars Piguet but haven't looked seriously at adding one to my collection (mainly Rolexes) until joining the forum and learning more about AP and seeing all the beautiful offshores you guys have. Not looking to buy for a few months as only just decided to get an AP and want to spend some time thinkng over what to get. I'm wanting to get something that looks equally good on bracelet and strap. Currently thinking Safari as I love it on the brown strap but haven't seen any pictures on a bracelet. Have any of you put your Safari on a bracelet and if so would you mind posting some pictures so I can see how it looks. ThanksRuss
