Christophe Claret Kantharos Watch Exclusive Debut
Lucky for you Christophe Claret watch lovers that Mr. Claret's newest piece is also probably his most affordable yet. No, it isn't going to come cheap at about $100,000 bucks. But that is better than $200,000 right? It does however come with a cool name; "Kantharos." A strong title - the term is actually quite simple.

ammo and rad is very nice together!
Thanks to Nishant's ammo shots on his 372, I had to order the strap and man... it does give the watch a very vintage feel... loving it! Thank you Nishant for the pointer on the strap!

At the range this morning with my trusty BLNR and M&P
Quality time with my BLNR. Anyone else?Before anyone asks, I shoot righty, but had to hold the Shield in my left hand for the photo. I have shot off-handed with no apparent problems with the watch.
