So very nice of you to post this compilation of your experience so far. Makes me particularly proud that I was born and raised in the canton de Vaud! Do try a glass of Saint Saphorin, nice white from the area!

el1125 · 2 June 2015, 11:27 AM

Excellent!! Nobody does the Tourb/Chrono combo like AP!

AS1 · 2 June 2015, 12:31 PM

wmh2 · 2 June 2015, 12:42 PM

Good morning from Le Brassus!

Thank you all for the kind words--it was a full day yesterday and looking forward to another one today.

Headed to the AP manufacturing facility today and will have the presentation of the collection this afternoon.

Should be a fun filled day....will have today's pics posted later this afternoon when we return...

Awesome!! Thank you for sharing Paul!!

benlee · 3 June 2015, 12:33 AM

Action packed trip Paul, and lovely shots of the RG44

For me, the most interesting part of the manufacture visit was when I visited the dial section where I met warchmaker master, Mr Marc Ferland and he explained to me how the Jumbo dial was made.

Zuger · 3 June 2015, 12:42 AM

Thanks for sharing. Wish I could be there but these pictures help a lot.

Joearch · 3 June 2015, 12:53 AM

The wines we've had from the region have been amazing

texex91 · 3 June 2015, 01:08 AM

Wow--I'm just speechless today. Spent the day at AP manufacturing...I will let the pics speak for themselves:

Okay lunchtime:

texex91 · 3 June 2015, 01:12 AM

Have been up for 24+ hours, but made it through the day (two hours to rest before dinner).

The AP history is just amazing:

Oldest AP

Nice pocket watches:

Stunning enamel work

MODERN WATCH PRON WARNING: We got to go into the Tourbillion Room - only 60 a year made. Check out the concept and the Ti cased Tourbs--$500K+ only 5 made.

Jaw dropping--to see them in person is amazing:

Only 4 people at AP manufacture Tourbs:

First one made:

Moving on to some ROO's in museum

That's it for today guys. I hope you have enjoyed--tomorrow is another fun filled day! To the manufacturing facility, presentation of the modern collection, among other great things...stay tuned

Awesome Pics! It's funny, one of those Offshore Tourb Chronos was just offered to me by an AD yesterday (one too many zeros for me I'm afraid) but they sure are a marvel to look at! Didn't realize they made so few! Keep the pics coming!

texex91 · 3 June 2015, 01:22 AM

Whew...that is what I call a day.

I hope everyone is loving the pics so far...

Still dinner tonight, then off to Papi tomorrow.

BONUS-BONUS TIME: Thurs I have been invited to visit/tour FP Journe factory...stay tuned

Spencer · 3 June 2015, 01:35 AM

Glad some of those covert pics we took in the factory came through!

Jakx · 3 June 2015, 01:36 AM

Spencer · 3 June 2015, 07:20 AM

Great group shot, send that to the photo share

texex91 · 3 June 2015, 08:02 AM

I did not stress the amazing factor on this platty:
It’s a bad boy (for $1m--hence the Version 1 of 1).
And don't get to excited, it's already sold and the owners initials were inside the case (they are actually the rotor).
It was just being finished.

Equation of time, Grand Complication, Minute reapeater, Astronomical phases and perpetual...all in one watch.

JAW DROPPER IN PERSON.
