SIHH 2019: Christophe Claret Marks 10th Anniversary With The Angelico

To mark the 10th anniversary of the brand this year, the boutique haute horology manufacture unveiled the limited-edition dual time jump hour Christophe Claret Angelico, which combines a tourbillon with a long detent escapement and a cable-type fusee transmission system-a world's first for a wristwatch Never one to take the simple route, Christophe Claret proudly emphasizes that the new Angelico celebrates "Art for Art's sake." Watchmaking art that is, which many of us knows lies deep inside the watch's case in the form of intricate mechanical movements For the anniversary Angelico model, Christophe Claret brought together a tourbillion with a long detent escapement and a cable-type fusee transmission system in the pursuit of precision perfection.

Christophe Claret overcame these pain points in 2014 with the Maestoso watch by adding an anti-pivot cam to prevent the detent escapement from "Turning over" and a "Flexible thrust bearing" to absorb shock Now, with the Angelico, Christophe Claret also brings to the table a tourbillon, which makes one full turn every six minutes Sporting a 455 mm case and a domed sapphire crystal above the dial, the Christophe Claret Angelico is a dual time watch with jumping hour displays.

Christophe Claret made two versions of the Angelico, one in 5N red gold with a red ruby on the minute hand and one in titanium with a blue sapphire on the minute hand. . Source
