SIHH 2013 Audemars Piguet - quick comments

Jan 21, 2013,06:12 AM
 

Hello Friends,


We will be working to bring reports and coverage of all the new AP novelties in the coming days.  I have several appointments tomorrow in which I will take detailed photos and gather information.

In the meantime, here are are few highlights for AP:

- 3 gorgeous new Offshore perpetual calendars (offered in titanium, rose gold, and platinum cases)
- 2 stunning additions to the Tradition line, one a Grand Complication and the other a minute repeater tourbillon chronograph
- New all ceramic 44mm Offshore - basically identical to the current ceramic/forged carbon Offshore but with a ceramic case
- New all ceramic Diver with orange accents, available as a boutique-only piece

Much more to come.  Here are just a few quick photos snapped through the display cases in difficult lighting...

I'm not impressed with their finishing of it, it doesn't have enough depth like it does on metal or Cermet in the trulli/schumacher. They did it b4 with the rb2 bezel with its wet glossy polished edges and finely brushed rainbow light catching surface.

Most curious to me...

...is the minute repeater, chrono, tourbillon in the Classic collection. It's quite an unusual combination, and particularly in the Tradition case. The other pieces being offered seem largely to be more evolution, versus revolution. Nothing wrong with tha... 

Yes, there are nine novelties, I believe.

Great Job Michael [nt]
