Audemars Piguet: Arnold Schwarzenegger Held At Munich Airport Customs Over Audemars Piguet Watch

Some may have already heard about Arnie's recent encounter with Munich Airport customs enroute to a fundraising dinner for Schwarzenegger’s climate initiative in the Austrian ski resort of Kitzbühel on Thursday - in his own quoted words: “ This is the problem that Germany is suffering from. You can

Photography: So much has changed in the scene that its the same like everywhere else now...

The scene here is now very much the same as everywhere else - gone are the days you can walk into an AD and pick up a sought after watch of choice out of the display. Head down to the new AP boutique in Place Vendome and they will tell you they have no watches available for purchase - any on display

Audemars Piguet: From 2021

Its a curious decision since there was an unofficial similar aftermarket iteration between 1017 ALYX 9SM and a Parisian bespoke customiser in 2021 (which sold out almost immediately) - there was then another colourful version done with Charaf Tajer of Casablanca brand launched 6 months later.

Richard Mille: Not about "overpriced"

Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts and experiences. I was quite careful in how I raised this and I tried not to dabble on the issue of price but rather on the issue of retained value/perceived value as dictated by the free market. In a hazardous comparison, perhaps a recent contender

Richard Mille: Yes you are!

Yes indeed - hope you don't mind that I wrote this out as you did inspire this! And I am also considering the RM11. I narrowed my thoughts to just the issue of value retention for what it is worth - I did overlook the comparison to FM and although I never owned any FMs in the past I do not believe t

Richard Mille: RM as the "new" FM

Hey guys - I read something in one of the postings on the forum and it had me thinking - I had eventually picked up the APs I wanted over a period of 10 years.

Audemars Piguet: Exceptional service from AP Singapore

I have similarly only recently enjoyed exceptional and attentive service from AP Singapore - Sharon Hu kept me informed via e-mail (I am not residing in Singapore but travel there every quarter) on the progress of the servicing of my AP Shaq and the estimated 8 weeks for servicing and case refresh w

Officine Panerai: Hope then...

Thanks for the encouragement of faith! I was a little disappointed with the current selection available in the Doha boutique though - the lone saleman was lamenting the fact that he had not received any new shipments for quite a long while so he had very little available which was of real interest t

Officine Panerai: Any Special Boutique Edition for the GCC/Middle East?

Following a visit to the Doha boutique last week, I am curious whether the Middle East boutiques (Doha, Dubai, Beirut and Riyadh) will also be receiving their own run of special boutique editions? Personally, it would be a wonderful way for me to capture a chapter of my life, living and working in t

Audemars Piguet: Whoa!

Tom - amazing watches - simply amazing - now that is what I call an empirical opinion!
