Exploring For Clerc: Esteemed Nature Photographer Alejandro Prieto Tracking Jaguars in Mexico

_DSC0092-1

It is with great pleasure that we announce our recent partnership with the incredibly talented Alejandro Prieto. Over the course of less than 5 years the Guadalajara-based photographer has garnered over 20 awards for his incredible work both on land and under the sea. We first began working with Alejandro in late 2016, and we are proud to showcase the first in a series of photographic expeditions on the trail of the elusive Jaguars that roam the jungles of Campeche, Chiapas, and Marismas Nacionales Nayarit in Mexico.

Roaming silently through the Marismas Nacionales Nayarit, Jaguars like the one seen here will strategically stalk and ambush their prey rather than chase it, and reserve their hunting for either dawn or dusk. Their diet consists of upwards of 80 different species of animals including mammals, fish, and birds. Unlike other big cats, Jaguars love the water, and in this region they spend a great deal of time in the marshes trying to catch their next meal.

Captured near an ancient archeological site in the heart of the Calakmul Biosphere Reserve — a remote site discovered in the 1930s that is only accessible by horseback or small vehicles — Jaguars like this are still a rare sight. Using a harmless trap-based camera trigger system, Alejandro’s days of laying in wait finally paid off.

Earlier this summer CLERC Watches made landfall in the UK with a splash as the prestigious Watches of Switzerland opened a massive and stunning 3-storey showroom on Brompton Road in the heart of London’s Knightsbridge. The flagship boutique kicked off with a bang, playing host to an opening gala that drew in quite a crowd in the posh London district. Collectors, enthusiasts, celebrities, brand ambassadors and CEOs (including our own Gerald Clerc of course) were all in attendance as the ribbon cutting took place and the doors were officially opened to the public. The prestigious guest list included a cultural cross-section ranging from world class boxers Anthony Joshua and David Haye, luxury watch fanatic and internet sensation Anish Bhatt of Watchanish, as well as model and TV personality Nicola Hughes.

The Knightsbridge opening not only marks CLERC’s grand arrival into the UK retail market, but it also establishes the brand in what is soon to become a global destination for luxury watch collectors around the globe. Displayed alongside a wide array of other prestigious watch brands in the heart of London’s premier luxury shopping district could not have been a better fit, and we are excited to see where this partnership with Watches of Knightsbridge takes us in the years to come.

SIAR Madrid 2016 a Resounding Success for CLERC Watches

AS

This past June we had the pleasure of taking part in the Salón Internacional Alta Relojería, Spain’s largest and most well-attended watch event of the year. Both industry professionals and the general public attend the major luxury watch exhibition over the course of four days, and much like we saw at Baselworld, the response to the latest CLERC novelties continues to be resoundingly positive. This was CLERC’s second major event in the Spanish capital in 2016, having recently hosted a gathering of CRONOFORVM’s watch enthusiast members at Perodri Joyeros in the spring.
