Played around with my ultimate AP grail today,
First time I've seen it live and it was much better then i could imagine

This piece had me smiling all day

Great watch Thomas, a very unique piece.
I will have to remortgage my pad to bag one of those.

T.S.Eliot · 22 December 2011, 06:53 AM

A true work of art

FeelingTheBlues · 22 December 2011, 06:56 AM

Beautiful, skeleton watches sure have some charm!

The thing is.. I never been a fan of skeleton watches before i saw some of the AP ones in the flesh

psv · 22 December 2011, 07:17 AM

I can really appreciate the haute horologie in this famous piece, but I can't say I think it is an attractive piece or one that I ever plan to buy. Then again, as Thomas points out, I haven't seen one in person...

eric23 · 22 December 2011, 07:23 AM

That is one nice skeleton! It's got it all for sure!

Trust me Patrick on this one you have to see this in person.
I've never been much of a fan of skeleton watches but this one is a piece of art for sure

Phenomenal piece Thomas. My only reservation is that I couldn't read the time very well on it.

Totally agree !! This watch is sick.

Adam K. · 22 December 2011, 09:02 PM

Very, very nice...but try playing with a Grande Comp sometime. (RO or Jules Audemars case...doesn't matter; same insanely amazing movement.)

Either way, an AP Grande Comp is over $600,000 of horological wonder in the palm of your hand. Have got to see quite a few cool pieces over the years, and it remains one of my all-time favorites.

Best,

Adam

Submarino · 23 December 2011, 12:49 AM

That Quantieme Perpetual is just amazing!!!! I am drooling!!!

ocwatching · 23 December 2011, 02:01 AM

AP QP is sweet..my bud has the new skeleton and its a beauty...with a perpetual? WOW!

Manofsteelpt · 23 December 2011, 02:22 AM

Very sharp!!!

B. Doggy · 23 December 2011, 02:56 AM

Holy crap-o-la!

Starwalker · 23 December 2011, 04:12 AM

impressive! but i think the self-winding open work is a more beautiful watch to look at!

Truth be told, give me a Safari and I'd be over the moon happy, but, those pieces are fun to contemplate.
