Does time change taste....or
is it about the dial, or the complication that i see now ,the very possitive reactions about the Millenary?
I have to admit, the ones now shown on SIHH are stunning, and even when i thought the maserati line was okay, i would not have bought one myself.
The reason why i ask, is that we see so little of them around, and they are already for some years for sale.
Would love to hear your opinion about it.
Best,
Michel

There could be several reasons ...
Hi Michel, It may well be that it takes time for a new line to permeate the consciousness of collectors. Or it may be a fashion shift away from round watches (are we seeing other shapes becoming more popular?), or it could be, as you suggest, that AP are ...
re: time change taste
Great question Michel! The new variant of the Millenary is awesome! Glad to see AP giving it the design attention it deserves. -MW
Maybe you start getting used to them?
Maybe the dials changed, too, and are closer to your tastes? I surprised myself to look at them, too... Best, Nicolas.
the 4101 seems to have hit the "sweet spot" with design...
it really uses the unique design features of the Millenary and its ovoid shape, and gives us watch geeks what we want - techno satisfaction with bridges, plates, and whirly thingamabobbies (in this case, the balance, but executed in a way that is not cont...
In this case I don't think so.
The reality is that the Millenary line has not tempted AP collectors or other watch enthusiasts who might walk into a store and want to look for a new watch. The Maserati Dual Time hooked me when it was introduced, but the dial is still rather polarizing....
