Great pictures and report Kong
The Jules Audemars Chronometer is something else and must surely be the most expensive time only wristwatch with no diamonds or tourbillon. That high beat is really amazing and as Giulio said, is possible because no lubrication is needed. It was tested to +1.1s per day by COSC (whole watch, not movement only) which is pretty amazing for a back to basics watch without single/multiple axis tourbillon.
Interesting thing is the Chronometer has been in testing for wear and tear, accuracy etc more than 5-6 years ago so PuristS who were on the AP tour got to see the prototype. Plus, we're told a higher beat is in the works, together with a grand sonnerie (I hope this is not off the record).
Giulio and Oliviero are great, fun guys who are open and generous with their time, knowledge and frankness. My thanks to them, the AP team and the PuristS for a fantastic evening. It was also great to see TM again, nice surprise given he was just at the Paris GTG. Looking forward to learning the details of IGOTT2.
BTW Kong, thanks for the strap and if you have a picture of the new ROO EOT Perpetual, that one is a real killer in the metal. This message has been edited by damien on 2010-07-02 10:54:04

Thanks AP and Kong!
Thanks to AP for hosting this event and to Kong for being such a good host . This is the 1st watch event I have attended and I enjoyed myself very much.
Wow...fantasitc report and what a selction of timepieces!
I love the offshores, but nice to see the other complicated models get some much deserved exposure...the JA high-beat chrono is stunning!
AP--43,200 v/hrs vs Zenith --36,600v/hr
I owned the Zenith Chrono Master which run at 36,000 v/hr and thought that it was the faster to-date till AP coming out the 43,200v/hr. In normal condition, the faster should increase the accuracy but may trade off by wear and tear thus needed frequent ma...
What great pictures!
Wow! I'm drooling over all those exceptional APs, Kong! I love the Chronometer especially, and long to make a collection out of that watch, the GO PanoInverse, and Breguet La Tradition. Now THAT would be a theme worth collecting!! Thanks also for the reco...
