A Complicated Evening with AP

[TauHway]

Thanks a lot for sharing! Gave me an inside view to an event that I'll never be able to attend.

Love that wall clock!! It will definitely be a conversation starter.

[Aarcher@McDGA]

Incredible. I am becoming a big fan. I gotta get me an AP.

Let's be honest here......you didn't win that wall clock did you. AP gave it to you as compensation for this advertisement. Well it's working. Lol.

Looks like an amazing time. Thanks for sharing your experience

[Demonoid]

Thank you for sharing Wayne. Those photos are amazing. I will be sleeping like a baby tonight.

Oh, that is a shame, Robuchon and Ducasse are pure quality.

It's not a disaster, it's in the Pierre, which has a mere 1 Star! Maybe they will throw me out when I turn up wearing a Richard Mille!

Awesome evening

Thanks a bunch, Wayne :D

Hello Winnie, I was lucky indeed. Glad that you enjoy this virtual experience.

Hi Dustin, wait till I show you the other door gifts…

Thanks Jim! The finely crafted wall clock deserves some jealousy

Really wish my schedule allowed me to attend the upcoming NY event. If any of you are attending please take some pics to share with us that cant make it.

Is there an event in NY? Would love to see the photos from the event!

Hope that happens in SIHH 2014.

I wonder if attending the event obligates all guests to wear an AP? Or they can wear a competitor's brand?

Nice wall clock! Unfortunately the screws are not made of white gold but hey, it's free! Congrats!

Hi buddy! I'm not up to the standard to be the official photographer! Just shot for fun Yes, AP is developing an in-house chronograph movement, but they refused to tell me when will it be available! I don't think it is a problem wearing another brand of watches to the event, just that wearing a house brand shows higher respects (to me). Those screws on the wall clock? They look like WG

Hi Roger! Robuchon huh… What a shame..
Richard Mille… maybe that's the reason they changed the venue

I really wish AP would elevate the JA line as much as the RO and especially ROO line. The have some of the most heavyweight and technically sublime pieces I have ever seen from any brand (great that you managed to try the jumping hour on the wrist). The Equation of time in skeleton and non skeleton format is just amazing.
As you can tell, I am a huge fan of the line!

Thanks again for the pics.

Thanks for reading! I agree JA line has many fantastic complications. Just that the round case has limited it to a more traditional and conservative appeal

Glad that you have experienced it somehow through this virtual tour

No no no, my friend. I WON this clock
I just love to share my good experience online. But I don't mind some compensation too

Hello Ben,
Really, the food was great and there were a few other brands there as well but of course AP ruled the night. And a little inside secret I learned yesterday the 42mm ROO is getting a refresh next year. Sorry you could not make it.

Wayne,
Thanks for the great post, enjoyed being there with you and your wife and enjoying all of the fine timepieces of AP. It was quite an experience.

Wow, wish I was invited too ! Looks like a splendid evening

Unfortunately I couldn't attend as I wasn't in Singapore. Glad you and Wayne had a great time. Good to hear about the new upcoming 42mm line refresh, hopefully we will see it by SIHH 2014. All I want for the new line of RO/ROO is an in-house chrono movement, a display back with lume in a RG or WG case and I am all set to "pounced"

If hope AP is reading this

[nishant]

Lovely read ! Thanks for sharing

[abnerc15]

Wonderful pics as always Wayne... What does one need to do in order to get invited to such events :-)

Thanks! I only saw lady ROO… didn't pay attention to the lady RO though...

[QueueCumber]

I keep getting invites to things, but they are either on days I can't go, or they are in far off exotic locals, like Miami…

[Lrlx]

I wish I could have attended. Great great pics.
