Exciting Incoming- Laptimer

Out of the blue last week I decided I was ready to try a concept AP. I was pretty dead set on one of the toubillon pieces.

After a few phone calls with Paul and some much needed enabling, I sent a random text in regards to the Laptimer. Neither of us thought it was even an option, but the response to my text indicated that one was sitting in the safe as another client had backed out. It had just come in and would be the only one this AD would receive. What were the chances of that?

The piece came on Wednesday and after spending some quality time with it this weekend in Chicago watching the Cubs lose, I am excited to present the AP Laptimer!

Thanks to Paul for always pushing me into decisions I shouldn't make ;)

Absolute stunner John!

I'm glad it all worked out timing wise and happy to 'help' and chat with you about this beast.

After meeting Papi at APRP and having him tell me all about this watch, it's THE pinnacle AP in my book.

Cannot wait to get together before years end.

You are my hero my friend


Here's the back shot that John sent me last week--only dual chrono in the world. Just wow.

Wow! This is truly epic! I had the good fortune of trying one when I was invited to an AP watchmaking class and can say with no doubt it is the baddest watch I ever saw! Impressive how smooth the pushers are. Massive congrats and respect to you.
