CHRISTOPHE CLARET  X-TREM-1 PINBALL PIECE A UNIQUE EXPOS’E

 

                                                               

The  front sapphire crystal is  no longer smoked  its offers a  better view  of the  gears , that have now  been  new  with an  all new circus cleaner .The irst was  an  item to be sold  only as  one  piece unique to he  basel world 2013.As the auction came  on and  the colour  level the even tenfold  to show some  of Christophe clarets  work s the  auctions  strat as  it goes to the highest bidder .But  a lot  of  people  ask him why pinball  well if you noticed  I thought  of  it  as  like a  evolved baccarat table  the sam type of table that Christophe claret had  been gaming around with  just as it all evolved from the  original Blackjack 21 watch  when he  brought  out more for the future as said and  noted.

The front sapphire crystal of the watch is  no longer and the theme is  sneakily done  in orange and blue contrasting well with one another .he was  supporting  children charity with the sale  o the watch which brought  a little smile to my  eyes only to love  his works a  little  more than before. The sides where the  ball moves  in and  out  with the 2 metal cages magnetically lumed  by a  magnetic strip which pumps  in the  ball back and forth .The  original includes the sapphire barrel with the  balls  inside the tubes  this  one  It did not .The  balls  can be  jerked free only to reattach to the magnetic srips this  therefore made the whole environment  affected  by the  movement and the  coesion  of the  mechanical watches  movement  which then was a another hurdle Christophe claret overcame.   

   


                           Magnetic balls and  binding  strips to case

 
                          

 


             


                        Corner  pockets  upwards


 

         

     Tourbillion feature at bottom of the case

 

The  Xtremi- 1  also  features a  tourbillion displayed as above  on the  bottom of the case  and all winding and adjustments to be  performed with a  all crowns affair  in the case. This was all involved by Mr Claret himself as he designed and helped create such a timepiece well it retailed about $300,000 and we can  only  know they were auction for charity .

intro to some watch movements


                     watch movement in modern watches



Watch movements are the brain and heart of a watch. Some work mechanically and others through a combination of electronic and mechanical parts. Once, many movements were mechanical and repaired by horologists and watchmakers with parts that we supply. Now, with the availability of low cost and good quality electronic watch movements, many watchmakers started to retrofit watches: they would replace mechanical watch movements with the new quartz watch movements. Movements can be fit into just about any watch, and Esslingen has the exact movements to replace many popular brand name watch movements with a minimum of effort.

Watch movements are incredibly small and are oftentimes quite delicate. You should always handle them carefully to avoid damaging the small moving or electronic parts. If you are going to be changing watch movements, it is recommended that you get some sort of training, or start out working on watches that are not valuable. Replacing watch movements requires careful handling of the movement and lots of practice. We have all the parts you need to help make retrofitting watch movements easier like: movement holders, watch dial spots, and stem extenders, to fit many common watch movement models.

if this  is fair please let us know we  be  happy to reply feedback

Richard Mille

69, an erotic year

Opting for words rather than a hidden automaton, the RM 69 Erotic Tourbillon plays on the desire to openly express passion and sensuality. Love and eroticism are clearly conveyed thanks to an unusual device named “Oracle”. The new Richard Mille horological complication is a mechanism that triggers the rotation of three engraved square cylinder rollers in grade 5 titanium, thereby creating a random statement. It can be activated on demand by pressing the push-button at 10 o’clock and thereby displaying the watch owner’s desire. To facilitate reading of the statement, a pusher at 8 o’clock serves to momentarily retract the hours and minutes hands. The Oracle mechanism occupies the entire upper part of the case, which meant that the 505-part movement had to be entirely redesigned in a more compact way. Developed in cooperation with Audemars Piquet Renaud & Papa, this unique construction makes it possible to line up the tourbillon and the barrel along the same axis. In another nod to the erotic theme of this model, the Richard Mille watchmakers have endowed it with an unusual 69-hour power reserve… This 30-piece limited edition is available exclusively from the 24 Richard Mille boutiques around the world.
