Icon10 ** ap trip to le brassus and geneva...come along with me **

Well friends it’s going to be a great week…off to Geneva tomorrow early morning and should be in Le Brassus for lunch Monday. Thank you to Audemars Piguet for arranging the entire 4 day trip and the hospitality that goes along with it.

Highlights over the three days include:
- AP Private Museum Tour
- AP HQ Visit and Tour
- AP Manufacture Tour
- AP Masterclass (Discussion of full AP history/watches/watchmakers, etc)
- Presentation of AP collection (I've been assured I'll see V2 Schumacher--we'll see)
- Piguet Renaud & Papi visit
- Meeting Francois and other AP execs
- Fantastic lunches, dinners, cocktail hours and meeting some other great AP aficionados (one other TRF member is on this trip as well).

Also have an extra day in Geneva on the backend of the trip that I plan to spend the day seeing as many boutiques, PP museum, FP Journe, etc…will be a busy (and hopefully not too expensive) day.

Should be a fun trip and I will try and update every night with pics and highlights from the day.

Come back often for updates…early AM connecting flight.

Will be epic…

Probably going to be no picture zone during manufacturing and a few other places, but hopefully plenty of others

You know the fact that I was invited as well Paul but could not go is going to make this thread all that much harder to subscribe to!

I guess I will have to live vicariously through!! Can't wait to see lots of photos my friend!

Well now I know what the airport looks like at the crack of dawn on a Sunday

First leg about to commence. Thanks guys for the well wishes and I'll do my best to not disappoint.

Roger I did ask about RM visit and was told "we have a very tight schedule"...but that's okay as I'm working on something else for that as a stand alone trip
