A personal highlight for me in covering Audemars Piguet at SIHH was meeting and speaking with Giulio Papi. Without question, Giulio is one of the world's finest watchmakers, and from the beginning of his career, he has done things his way. Giulio started ...

For so many folks work can be a grind, something you get through. When you work in your passion, you are truly blessed.

On bracelet of course. He has had it for many years, and it looked beautiful. PS - will you be changing your login to "dhb686" any time soon?? ;-) Enjoy the holiday weekend, My Friend.
Very interesting reading, Michael.

Thanks for this writeup MichaelC. Brings back fond memories of ThePuristS trip back in 2008 where we had a great time visiting AP and meeting Giulio Papi at R&P and seeing all kinds of great stuff. Regards, ED-209

and letting us know about some of his thoughts, especially the evolution of brands today. Cheers, Mark PS: he is on the HYT project too, isn't he?
