New Release
KIH provides a captivating live report from SIHH 2015, showcasing Audemars Piguet's novelties. This article offers a valuable snapshot of AP's direction in haute horlogerie, highlighting key releases and design trends that continue to influence the brand's collections.
One design element AP has really pushed in recent years is the Openworked dials, and we continue to see that theme. I am definitely a fan of that. I really like the sand blasted titanium case on the Royal Oak Tourbillon Chronograph. Hope to see some of these up close in the near future!
While I appreciate the new evolutions of movements and materials at the very high end of brands, there is very little new for the 'normal' person, so to speak. How many people will really be queing up to buy a fully baguette laid Royal Oak :) But thats fine by me, as my watch lust list is way too long already! But, again, I feel another chance has gone by to show more focus on the Jules Audemars range... and to make it worse, they tease us with an absolute knockout JA tourbillon chronograph! Let
I completely agree! The Jules Audemars is an amazing collection, but typically reserved for higher complications or very classic designs. Perhaps a new model could exude the high end Jules Audemars pieces, much the same way that the Millenary 4101 has done for that line. A 2 subdial chronograph, manual wind, no date (yes Nico, I remember you in my watch visions!) would do quite nicely for me :-) Thanks for your sharing your well founded sentiments.
I was hooked when I saw the JUMP HOUR. What a stunner. Thanks for the photos. Best, JerryW
Thank you for the live pics. Moritz
On another note, I like that AP has resurrected blasted titanium surface finishing. The Paris la Boutique was finished this way and it's always been a favorite. Thanks for the pics. M4
