BORGEAUD
SEPTAGRAPH PERPETUEL
Borgeaud is a watchmaking brand whose very essence invites the world’s watch-making connoisseurs to walk a rarely explored path, an initiatory path. The path of restored time, philosopher’s time.
The Septagraph Perpétuel, a never-before-seen complication, was about to see the light of day…
On a craftsmanship level, the daily indication of these “restored” portions of time
required a particularly complex chronometric approach in that each eighth of a day never occurs in chronological order, as shown in the table below.
MONDAY (DEDICATED TO THE MOON) 2nd period 07:30 a.m. – 09:00 a.m.
SATURDAY (DEDICATED TO SATURN) 3rd period 09:00 a.m. – 10:30 a.m.
FRIDAY (DEDICATED TO VENUS) 4th period 10:30 a.m. – 12:00 a.m.
WEDNESDAY (DEDICATED TO MERCURY) 5th period 12:00 p.m. – 01:30 p.m.
THURSDAY (DEDICATED TO JUPITER) 6th period 01:30 p.m. – 03:00 p.m.
TUESDAY (DEDICATED TO MARS) 7th period 03:00 p.m. – 04:30 p.m
SUNDAY (DEDICATED TO THE SUN) 8th period 04:30 p.m. – 06:00 p.m.

CHRISTOPHE CLARET
DualTow
The handful of watch companies capable of creating, developing and ensuring the reliability of totally exclusive and ultra-complex watch movements form an extremely exclusive fraternity to which Christophe Claret SA undeniably belongs. 2009 is thus a jubilee year in the history of Christophe Claret SA, a milestone that its owner wished to symbolise by releasing an exclusive timepiece produced under the company brand name and distributed by the finest retailers worldwide.
The DualTow is a faithful reflection of the watchmaking philosophy inherent to Christophe Claret.
Representing a horological embodiment of power and energy, the DualTow is an ultra-refined machine for measuring time. With its original “belt” display of the hours and minutes, the model features an ultra-technical and classically elegant appearance. Technically speaking, the mechanical hand-wound CC20A movement boasts an impressive number of innovations and stylistic refinement. One particularly striking example is a gong that sounds each time the chronograph pusher is activated, in a playful allusion to the expertise of the Manufacture in the field of striking watches. |
