A code that won my heart
I’m sure you have heard people throwing shit on the code 1159 release since day 1 but true enough the earlier versions are not good-looking . I personally find them very thick and clumsy and overpriced. However, I think this year AP has released codes that have changed peoples’ opinion. This is an example for a well-designed code. Complicated yet simple. Ironic isn’t it? The onyx dial has caught my attention and I enjoy wearing it because it is just so special. An AP but not a royal oak. I look forward to more beautiful releases in the code series. Bravo Audemars Piguet. I think this would have been extremely cool if the minute markers were to be available in Chinese. Happy to hear comments on the code series…both the good and the bad. Cheers

Not crazy about the CODE...
When Montblanc first came out with the original Timewalker watch (the current Timewalker watch has a slightly different case, I'm referring to the original), with an innovative case with pierced lugs and a bowl shape case, there was a structural and archi...
I totally understand you
Many times the brand plays a big part. I see many big Brands like rolex receiving positive feedbacks when all they do is change dial or material and yet when some others do it…people say the Brands are lazy. Funny how the world works. Thanks for showing m...
Happy to help whenever I can!
If you like thin watches, check out the Bulgari Octo Finissimo. In steel, it's half the price of the AP, and from a movement and craftsmanship perspective, it's almost equivalent! There are some things that Bulgari had to do that may seem atypical to get ...
I do like the octo but
It’s really hard for me to wear as I have a small wrist so it wears like a bracelet ! Kudos to Bulgari!
The Code 11:59 actually
It's a nice* watch, mostly in the recent models that have no date (how many years did it took to remove it?) and the moser-ish dials. Nice* like many other several dozens
Oh yes!
I first discovered the dial on miser’s vanta black rose gold streamlined. It was insanely black. I called it soul sucking black! Looks amazing
You are correct, many did not appreciate the new collection at first.
We live in a super reactionary world. Many feel obligated to get themselves on record right away. But now there are many converts to the CODE 11.59 collection. Yours is a beauty, congratulations!
This is a good Code
The dial here is much better than some of the original releases. Very good use of negative space. I'd like to see it in the metal, as the mid-case is quite interesting as well. The outer ring track in your Flying Tourbillon is a minutes scale. The first v...
One of the best if not the best Code ever made
The Onyx dial with gilt accents is incredible
Stunning piece
That onyx dial is special! And the Tourbillon ain't bad either Cheers, Enjoy, And happy holidays Peter
