There are BMW M3’s and then there are Hennessey Venom GT’s. The Kantharos watch is the equivalent to the Venom GT in that it is one of the most exquisite designs from an artist that actually knows a thing or two about dynamics. Christophe Claret is the resident craftsman behind this masterpiece, and let me tell you that it is a darn shame that not too many people know about it.
It is an automatic (self winding) chronograph with the very distinct feature of a cathedral gong that sounds off with every change of function. This watch features an aircraft instrument cluster layout, and perpetual motion that is displayed through a clear window on its 45mm face. This gives it a very unique constant-force escapement, which is the true magic behind its absolute impeccable time keeping.
If you have been looking for the elephant bones of skeleton chronograph watches, this is about as unique as you are going to find.
