I wish they would put the writing on the movement & case the same way up
I know I can turn the watch around but so can they... you know for the price of any repeater putting Repetition Minutes the other way round is zip
AP John Shaeffer Minute Repeater
I saw this on A Collected Man. One of six made in platinum. It's small (33.5 mm diameter) but lovely. Movement is by Renaud & Papi. I like it, how about you? Thanks for looking. M4 ...
Personally
The John Schaeffer range for me are the most attractive watches ever produced by Audemars Piguet. I wish they brought them back and yes, in the same size!
Agreed 100%!!
It is Audemars Piguet showing us that it can do classy elegant watches.
I love it, except for the fact that the hour aperture being located at 12 o'clock
it is "hidden" by the minutes hand when the hour jumps. But apart from this point, it's wonderful. Best, Emmanuel
I hadn't thought of that point. You are right, obscuring the hour change isn't ideal..
Thanks for commenting Emmanuel.
The Patek Philippe reference 3969 has a similar issue, although much less pronounced.
And it was completely corrected with the reference 5275P: shorter hand which doesn't overlap the hour window. ...
Oh I so wish there was more of this in their portfolio now 👏🏻🙌🏻👌🏻
Superb piece IMHO 😊👍🏻
My hearing is terrible so the chime parts are wasted on me...
...but that lovely, lovely case : )
I wish they would put the writing on the movement & case the same way up
I know I can turn the watch around but so can they... you know for the price of any repeater putting Repetition Minutes the other way round is zip ...
Definitely some of the best of AP
Can you imagine a minute repeater in 33.5mm in today's world? Not happening.. Thanks for sharing!
Gosh, that's just gorgeous.
I sure wish AP would go back to producing shaped watches - I miss the Tradition and Eduard Piguet collections. ;-(
