This limited edition wristwatch hails from Christophe Claret's Allegro collection. Its eye-catching manual movement boasts a minute repeater, one of the most sought-after complications in the world of luxury wristwatches. As its name would suggest, the Allegro is a musical watch that plays a series of gongs as it rings out the time when the minute repeater is activated. It uses cathedral gongs, which are longer than standard repeater gongs and provide a deeper, more resonant pitch when the hammers strike. Other complications include a big date, small seconds and GMT with day/night indicator.

The watch's distinctive casing is constructed with a combination of titanium and 18K red gold with a smoked sapphire transparent dial with an open lunette window that allows a view of the repeater movement. The timepiece is handsomely finished with a black alligator strap. Also, its anchor, balance and even balance spring have all been developed and manufactured in-house, making the Claret one of the very few watchmakers to master all facets of production and showcasing his mastery of the craft.

Watchmaker and complications specialist Christophe Claret attended the Ecole d'Horlogerie de Geneve, the oldest and most prestigious watchmaking school in Switzerland. After establishing a workshop in 1987, Claret began providing exclusive movements for high-end watchmakers, including Breguet, Cartier and Girard-Perregaux. He went on to co-found the watch manufacturer Jean Dunand before eventually starting his eponymous firm.
