A wonderful day at Audemars Piguet in Le Brassus
Dear all,
this week I have visited AP in Suisse and have enjoyed a wonderful day, I would like to share with you 
I will try to comment the pics as good as I can, hoping that I got all the information at this day are right. If not please excuse or correct me!
At this place once again many thanks to the AP employees for the invitation as well as for the tour and the very friendly welcome! It was really great!
I will structure this post in three parts.
But now let’s start the show!
We had wonderful weather in the Vallee de Joux.
Here you can see the new production building in which the movements are being made and where the carbon manufacturing is situated.
Part 1: „Manufacture des Forges“
First of all we have visited the „Manufacture des Forges“.
Here you can see the mandrel with the carbon threads.
Here a tiny cutted carbon thread.
These threads are precisely weighed. The filled box will make up a middle layer piece for the new GP Carbon.
The single threads will then be put in a form...
.. the form will then be heated...
...and afterwards baked.
The result: a bezel for the Grand Prix series.
Here you can see some completed pieces.
to be continued ......
