But more on that heavy gold masterpiece later. What

    Audemars Piguet – The Museum: „I would like to work here.“

Not that I’m particularly knowledgeable about it, but I love strolling through museums and enjoying the artworks and often the architecture as well. Well, you’ll find what you’re looking for in this respect at the

    Editorial: … and another timeline about watch companies

    While reading a book about various watchmaking companies it appeared to me that, yes it was ages ago, that Audemars Piguet made this and also ages ago that Patek Philippe made that … but that made me wonder, what does «ages ago» even mean? Would placing these key events on a timeline illustrate this with

    Owner review: Audemars Piguet Code 11.59

    The Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 measures 41mm from side to side, minus the crown, and 50mm from lug to lug. I wish the watch was 40mm or smaller but 41 is not a dealbreaker for me, as I wear what I like regardless of perceived fit. The lug to lug could have been shaved down

    So I was asked by @thewatchregulator to submit a review of my Audemars Piguet Royal Oak chronograph rose gold in 41mm.
