The Christophe Claret Angelico

Justin Koullapis, HonM British Horological Institute

Martin Foster and I travelled to Christophe Claret’s hillside headquarters in the town of Le Locle for an illuminating visit to a company whose impressive range of skills and manufacturing methods are all gathered under one roof. Vision and imagination are evident in accommodating so much contemporary horology within an ancient and historical manor house and its precincts.
