Christophe Claret Dual Tow Watch Experience

I don't want this article to be filled with numbers and figures. My other articles or Claret's website will tell you the little details. I want to share with you what it is like to wear, operate, and look at the Dual Tow watch.The name comes from the two rubber belts that are constantly moving to show the time (not jumping). The effect is pretty cool and you can read the time through metal windows. I am a bit concerned about the use of rubber (though I am not sure what other type of material would have sufficed). The reason being that rubber with degrade over a short amount of time as it is always moving.If you aren't familiar with this watch, it will take a while to explain. Being the first "Christophe Claret" branded watch to come out of the genius' watch shop, Christophe felt the need to sacrifice nothing when *** his half million dollar wonder watch. It needed to epitomize the technological sophistication the Claret shop watch capable of, as well as giving the luxury watch loving world something totally different. The watch shows the time on two rubber belts. Has a monopusher chronograph, a flying tourbillon, and a hammer and gong that chimes each time you press the chronograph pusher. While these are the function, the construction, complexity of the movement, and over all design are "other worldly." I've never see anything like this. Claret is also known for *** movement for brands such as Jean Dunand and Maitres du Temps. If you want to have an impressive $100,000 plus watch, Claret is the man to go to.Check out an article I did about the Christophe Claret Dual Tow watch here on Luxist.com. There you will get the basics. Let me say again that Claret is *** the limited edition watch customizable. The website configurator for the watch allows you to choose all sorts of personalized materials and colors. The watch further comes with an alligator and rubber strap.
