A message from AP - Vote for AP watch of the year!

I received this email from Manuela late last week and forgot to post. For you AP fans feel free to vote for your watch of the year!

DearDear clients from around the world,

A US magazine, Haute Living, is organizing an online vote to elect the watch of the year from SIHH and Basel, on their website. After several weeks of competition, we are now entering the 5th and final round of the competition for the two remaining timepieces. The AP Royal Oak Open work is against the Greubel Forsey GMT.The voting remains open for the next 4 days. WE NEED YOUR HELP TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. Please find below the link that will direct you to the official page of the contest. You will be invited to click on the watch of your choice. It's that easy!

http://hautetime.com/madness/

Thank you in advance for your support and have a great weekend!

Looking at some of the other earlier results, it seems like the ugliest watches were winning over classics! How the Lange Datograph lost, I don't understand.
