There was definitely a buzz around the AP booth at SIHH. For one thing, they were occupying a sizeable booth; for another, and along with Richard Mille, they definitely had the best models to meet and greet. Mainly, the buzz was all about the new watch mo...  

g This was definitely an honour on my part as Giulio (and the initial partner Dominic Renaud) has been the guiding light behind a number of the technical developments in watches over the past two decades. He was, and is, a prodigious talent, a very person...  

(Here talking with Gerald Genta – on the left of the photo) I had chatted with Octavio before at the Alinghi launch event back in March 2007. Always an honour and a pleasure to talk with Octavio. He is the man behind the redesigning of Royal Oak line and ...

i have to admit i didnt love the limited edition ones that much , but this one is another story amazing. Thanks Faisal

Looks like my on-again off-again love affair with AP ROs is now on-again. The EoT in pink-gold is truly remarkably elegantly wonderfully beautiful. One of the best EoTs I have come across; as mesmerizing as VH's Classic Janvier is, the Royal Oak Equation ...

good pictures on top! Thanks Andrew, for your effort. Oliver

...on the Scuba, Andrew! It looks like a great watch. I really like that watch, the steel RO Skeleton, and the 57th St. ROO. AP had some great offerings at SIHH this year. Thanks for the reporting, Andrew! Cheers, Daos

The watches are cool, and so are the people. Well done and thanks for sharing.

Giulio is a modern legend of the industry, and Octavio continues to pleasantly surprise us with exciting new designs Thanks Andrew for sharing their and your thoughts, and thanks for the great photos. WIth Jarno modelling the watch, you have really captur... 

The standout for me was the AP RO EOT and the RO skeleton. Your pics are the first ones that really capture the antracite grayish color of the skeletonized movement on the 15305. I can't wait to see it in person. Regards, ED-209

This pair is absolutely wonderful, but I live nowhere near an AP AD, so will just have to enjoy your great pictures. (the skeleton's bezel though looks to be pre-scratched! I guess to save the anxiety of that first mishap) S

He's probably the closest to being my idol in the watchmaking world. What a brilliant guy. Thanks Andrew!

As great as it is to see the amazing work of both both Giulio Papi and Octavio Garcia it is a real treat to see that Gerald Genta may still be involved in his creation. I look forward to whatever the 40th anniversary of the Royal Oak my bring us. Thanks f...
