"Non-tourbillon Openworked Jules Audemars"
Jan 21, 2015,10:54 AM
I completely agree! The Jules Audemars is an amazing collection, but typically reserved for higher complications or very classic designs.
Perhaps a new model could exude the high end Jules Audemars pieces, much the same way that the Millenary 4101 has done for that line. A 2 subdial chronograph, manual wind, no date (yes Nico, I remember you in my watch visions!) would do quite nicely for me
Thanks for your sharing your well founded sentiments.

One design element AP has really pushed in recent years is the Openworked dials, and we continue to see that theme. I am definitely a fan of that. I really like the sand blasted titanium case on the Royal Oak Tourbillon Chronograph. Hope to see some of th...
Mixed feelings again alas, but no big worries!

While I appreciate the new evolutions of movements and materials at the very high end of brands, there is very little new for the 'normal' person, so to speak. How many people will really be queing up to buy a fully baguette laid Royal Oak :) But thats fi...

I was hooked when I saw the JUMP HOUR. What a stunner. Thanks for the photos. Best, JerryW
What's with the bling?

On another note, I like that AP has resurrected blasted titanium surface finishing. The Paris la Boutique was finished this way and it's always been a favorite. Thanks for the pics. M4
No doubt Jerry. Part of the new AP.

I feel a new "panache" evident around AP. 2 of the very first AP brand Ambassadors I ever met were Vijay Singh and Thomas Levet. Both great guys. But I think of the current names - LeBron James, Leo Messi, Michael Schumacher - superstars. Just a different...
I like the blinged out Millenary line
