I’m sure you won’t mind a few gratuitous shots of this horological heavyweight. The Model 26153 Jules Audemars Chronometer has twin barrels providing a power reserve of 90h and the Audemars Piguet escapement (ChronAP) beats at 43,200vph (6Hz) using a small variable inertia balance wheel with a double hairspring.

This is the rose gold version but there is also platinum version with silver dial and accents.



The case measures 46x12.7mm and has a lovely colour palette with a black enamel dial with rose gold hands and barrel covers.




Calibre 2908 …




The original Pt version may have been released in 2009, but it was a rare and exciting moment to be able to strap it on.

The circular time display dials appear to be floating in space. The anthracite canvas set inside the RG case is visually superb, and
