Independents

Now that he is not only a supplier for other brands, but also has his own brand Christophe Claret showed his two latest models:
the 21 Blackjack and the Adagio.

The 21 Blackjack is the gamblers watch including 3 different games (and the time).
Dice in a small window on the side, roulette on the back (on the automatic winding weight) and Blackjack on the dial.
You shuffle and deal the first cards by pressing the middle button.  Further cards for the player and dealer are drawn by pressing the corresponding button.



Onyx dial with a rose gold and black PVD titanium case.

Tinted saphire dial with a titanium case

The Adagio is a minute repeater with two time zones and a big date, here in rose gold with an onyx dial

... Adagio looks soooo intriguing (I don't play at casino, to the other one hsa no appealing to me, sorry).  Hope to know more soon, and hopefully does tour to Japan someday?

Great report.  Thanks.

Thanks for the photos, Don.

Is the roulette wheel just the automatic winding rotor, or can you actually spin it for a number? I can't see a ball, or perhaps there is a fixed pointer and you note where it stops?

Andrew

the big gem pointing to the fixed numbers around the rotor.

I really like both, a lot. I'm happy CC launches more of his own watches (I understand he was more a mouvement maker than a watch maker). I liked everything in the BlackJack : the crown, the bezel, the pushers, the hands, the box ... the original displays.

And I discover know the Adagio ...

Thank you for sharing,

Cheers,

Mark

Always see RM's on the wrist, someone will get this watch.  Alot of "showing" with those guys.

Very cool idea for the rotor. This message has been edited by Davo on 2011-04-07 05:17:28
