ADAGIO

A classic model giving pride of place to watchmaking traditions in terms of both its mechanism and its exterior, this exceptional watch is equipped with Calibre SLB88, naturally created entirely in house and composed of 455 parts.

The Adagio features central hour and minute hands, small seconds at 9 o'clock in a window or sub-dial, depending on the versions; along with a large date at 6 o'clock and a dual time-zone (hours and minutes) display complete with day/night indication in a sub-dial at 2 o'clock.

In tribute to his Manufacture's first calibre introduced over 20 years ago, Christophe Claret wanted to equip this timepiece with a minute repeater, a particularly intricate fine watchmaking complication that has become one of the great specialities of the Manufacture.

Striking the hours, quarters and minutes on demand, the "cathedral gongs" of the striking mechanism are fitted with a patented device preventing them from knocking against each other when they vibrate under the hammer blows. The equally patented large date display features an unprecedented construction.
