8 Things to Know About the Christophe Claret Allegro
At #baselworld 2015, Christophe Claret's headliner was the Allegro, a new minute repeater watch that boasts very fine craftsmanship and an extremely eye-catching movement. Here's what you need to know about the Le Locle brand's latest in order to stay up to date.  1. It comes from a very musical family.Watchmaker Christophe Claret has always been fond of minute repeaters; in fact, the first watch movement Claret designed, in 1989, was a minute repeater. The Allegro follows in this heritage. It is the third musical watch in the brand's Traditional Complications collection, following after the Adagio and Soprano models. However, it has a movement entirely its own. Caliber ALG89 is a manually wound caliber 34 mm in diameter. It has a grand total of 520 components. It beats at 21,600 vph.  2. The Allegro uses a smoked sapphire dial to highlight the workings of the repeater.A darkened, translucent dial offers many advantages for watch designers. In some sense, it's a happy medium

SUBMARINER beautiful or boring?
Just sat here looking at my sub 5513 and thinking it's just black and plain. Wondering how something so plain can be so beautiful. A GMT, D blue, Hulk have other colours. But how come a plain old Sub of all models can be so beautiful . Hope Rolex never stop that dial . Who agrees !!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
