Nice, but why break the iconic bracelet or band attachment?

Jim12345 · 23 November 2013, 07:19 AM

Amazing piece. Sadly, I am sure it will be well out my price range!! A stunning design, lifted even further with the white ceramic. Thanks for the link, drool running down my chin as I type!!

When they change it to titanium? I saw some pics of assembled model from R&P factory with combination of white and black ceramic. I will post pics later.

edo · 23 November 2013, 09:30 AM

And here's the pic by watchanish.com

Don't know why they change ceramic with titanium. This looks great...

Thanks for posting, interesting.

I much prefer the ROO RG/Carbon Tourbillon Chrono.

I concur. This new concept looks "cartoony".

AP is trying to get closer to RM's style methinks, I don't know for you guys but I personally see a similarity here.

If you ask me I'd say it looks nice but it's not my favorite AP model, however too big the ROO's and modern RO's are for my wrists I prefer their square and kind of bulky looks to this one. I can't say it's not beautiful though, it sure looks unique.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. I agree with you. Hublot is being even more shameless with copying RM (poorly IMHO) with this creation:

PatekCollector · 23 November 2013, 03:18 PM

Hmmm. Not my cup of tea!!.

Cru Jones · 23 November 2013, 04:59 PM

Well, trying new things won't always create a classic, but it's better to have tried.

Soly20 · 23 November 2013, 05:09 PM

It looks kind of funky, sort of like if it was meant to be aimed at teenagers!

No doubt, it has an interesting look. However, I must admit that most of us have a soft spot for the RG/Carbon Tourbillon Chrono!

Cool watch

I m not sure if black and white goes along well in this piece, to me, it looks like a toy than a 6 figure($) watch. The white bezel looks like plastic..

redsubby · 23 November 2013, 06:46 PM

Not into concept watches, gimme a tradition watch any day.

I don't think ceramic will look cheap in reality, but I agree it looks toyish so does Bubba RM055 and it's stunning in person.

SamGMT · 24 November 2013, 12:28 AM

Awesome! Thanks for sharing!!

salihy · 24 November 2013, 12:38 AM

couldn't get any worse.

B. Doggy · 24 November 2013, 01:46 AM

Not for me.

AK797 · 24 November 2013, 06:35 AM

Did they let LeBron out of his cage again?

I agree with with Carl and would add that they are trying too hard to impress. Sometimes that can be a recipe for disaster. And on top of that the price this is going to have is going to be astronomical... So what's the point?

I think Hublot "copied" AP prior to that...

I wouldn't call the AP concept a "copy" of an RM considering the first concept was released in 2002 shortly after RMs inception. Also considering that some RM movements were produced by APRP I don't think copy is the right word.

While this new ceramic concept isn't my cup of tea the forged carbon concept is one of my all time favorites.

Less toyish in black than white and awesome in the flesh as you say!
