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.

     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 .
