Lot Essay
Christophe Claret is only motivated by that which is complicated, that which is challenging, and the Adagio cathedral going minute repeater is no exception. The joy and purpose of a minute repeater is the sound, and Christophe Claret has made the gongs of the Adagio longer than a standard minute repeater, wrapping around the movement and resulting in a rich and wonderful sound. In addition to incredibly rich sound, the Adagio also delights with an incredible black titanium case and dial accentuated by complications of second time zone, large date, and day night indicator encased in matte silver metal, taking every element of this watch to the very next level. No. 0 of 8 pcs.
