Fascinating, Michael.
Thank you. Much interesting ground covered, just as you promised. You managed to touch upon several of my favorite APs (Survivor, of course -- and how interesting!) in this interview -- much of what I would have wanted to know had I been in the room. 
I hope there is no Survivor 2. I am glad the Millenery Masarati was made however nightmarish the process, I will keep hope alive then for the return of the Starwheel at some unforetold time in the future. And there is time yet for me to warm up to forged carbon before AP is done with it. ;-)
The "never look back" approach to the Offshore collection on the 20th anniversary is also interesting and unexpected.
Thanks again, Michael.
Best regards,

AP SIHH 2013: a conversation with Octavio Garcia
Prior to traveling to SIHH, as I confirmed my appointments, I was asked if I would like a private interview with AP Artistic Director Octavio Garcia. It did not take even a moment to accept this incredible offer. As a custom residential designer myself, I...

Thanks Respo
I certainly understand the sentiment about not having a new Survivor, and perhaps they never will. The Starwheel is something we are all intrigued by, and I hope it comes to be soon. Cheers, my Friend!
Another interesting interview MichaelC.
I also had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Garcia a few years ago. I think our group was mesmerized looking at prototype drawings and learning about all the details his teams works though on each piece. Thanks for sharing. JerryW
Appreciate it Jerry.
I like to get some different content out on the table, and the interviewees have done a great job at engaging the topics.
Thank you!
Thanks Michael for such an interesting reading. Octavio is a genius and you are a lucky person to had such an opportunity to speak with him. Once again congratulations for this interview!
Lucky indeed Sir.
I certainly get very excited to see the new watches, but the opportunity to conduct these interviews is super special and meaningful.
I agree with you.
In an age where we see many people leave one brand for another, AP & Octavio Garcia seem to have a wonderful and mutually beneficial relationship.
Thanks for sharing this conversation
Thanks for sharing this conversation MichaelC. I had the pleasure of meeting Octavio a few years ago during a PuristS trip to visit AP, and it was really nice to see the passion he has for watch design when we spoke with him. And glad to hear about the hi...
