A visit of the AP shop in Madrid.
foversta
It was a great pleasure for me to visit a few weeks ago the new AP shop in Madrid, calle Don Ramon de la Cruz.
I received a warm welcome from the director, Ignacio Piera and his team and was very surprised by the size and the decoration of the shop. In fact, it is much bigger than I thought before. The interior design is so impressive that when I visited it, a spanish style mag was doing a report about it.
So here are a few pics, we will see the watches later:
The good surprise is the size of the workshop:

Thanks, FX. Salman, that GS with Couple and Sonnerie RDM is almost A decade old model, released in early 2000's. A bit too busy for my taste, I like yours better...

It had to happen some day. One of my watches needs repairing. Okay. That's happened plenty of times before.
