14. Christophe Claret Maestro; An expensive reminder (rhyme review)

watchesdaily (42)in #watch • 7 years ago

Have you every forgotten something while being in your swimming pool filled with perrier enjoying midday? If they answer is yes, I have got the watch for you sir!

The Christophe Claret Maestro is nothing but pure genius in my eyes. It's a watch that helps you memorize. With a ruby inlayed ''pyramid'' placed between the 3 and 4 o'clock. Maybe this will sound like a sales talk, but it's sold out already, so we can let the sales talk.

We can talk about the finishing being magnificent, but I want to highlight one key feature and that's the ''dial''. Which the artistic style is making it look like it's a small city. A 70,000 dollar one, so be ready to sell a kidney. The depth and layers are done with so much precision, the watch on its own is a master-watchmaking exhibition.

I was genuinely in lost for words when they showed me this. How insanely gifted you must be to create something like this.

This watch embodies everything I love about independent watchmakers, they are just the old school rule breakers. Just making whatever they want and thinking outside of the box. You still get it in a box, so that is kind of a paradox.
