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. A kantharos is the term used to describe a form of ancient Greek pottery. More specifically, a drinking vessel. So the watch is like a tall glass of cool water? Not exactlyI think Claret's motive was to comment on how the high-contrast dial is similar to the high-contrast colors on these antique pots.The Kantharos uses the same case and aesthetics of the Christophe Claret Blackjack 21, Baccarat, and Soprano watches. It looks like the brand will settle on this case design and dial style for a while to come. While we have just one picture at launch, the Kantharos will be available in five versions. Pictured is the black titanium model, but other versions will includes cases

Comfort or Looks?
Will you buy an AP purely for its looks but in reality feels uncomfortable wearing it? Or it's just a matter of getting use to? / putting up with?Watch in question, the very popular and great looking Offshore RG44. My heaviest watch so far, the 42mm SS Diver.

What is an "Old Man's" Rolex ?
Spoke to several WIS recently about collecting going forward and age milestones and both expressed the opinion that a watch collection should always be age appropriate, that is, reflect the age of the wearer. So what would that mean exactly, especially in Rolex terms? Does that suggest that a Day-Date or Cellini on the wrist of a 25 year old, or an Air King on a 70 year old, is bad form? If you are in assisted living must you be sporting a Patek and not an SKX? If you are immature can you then wear anything? I do see a lot of two-tone in Florida among older people, can that possibly a guide. Question is whether you feel age should be part of the decision on what you buy, and whether your collection should necessarily be one thing at 30, 40, 50, or 60+ years of age, regardless of your exact likes. And, is there in fact an old man's Rolex?
